If only I had read THIS STORY maybe I wouldn't have gone and got myself all inked up...
Well, no, I'd probably still do it...

About Me

- There has been a lot of talk in christian contemporary circles lately about the "purpose driven life". But it seems to me like people can live their life so entrenched in western christian culture that that they never get into the mainstream culture to live out their purpose. Are we truly living a purpose driven life or is it really a culture driven life? It's not as simple as applying a "Fish" decal to your car, wearing a "WWJD" bracelet and "Lord's Gym" T-shirt, as you wipe your feet on the "Prayers of Jabez Doormat" while you're on the way to the bible study with all of your friends who are already christian. Are we out there living life with a sense of purpose, a sense of mission? Or are we taking the easy way out by retreating to the familiarity of the christian book store, listening to christian music, playing christian video games, and watching christian movies, as we wear our christian clothes, while we avoid sinners for fear of contamination? What is the difference between "God culture", and "christian culture". I'm trying to struggle my way through this question and I invite you to join in the discussion.

DUDE. What did you get?
#1: What sort of dumbass tattoo artist would continue working on a guy after he started feeling fuzzy?
#2: What sort of tattoo artist would allow a customer to get to the point where he was in danger of hurting him/herself
Lastly, #3: Anybody who get's somebody else to poke them with needles filled with ink needs to take into account that this is a painful and taxing event and shouldn't be undertaken on an empty stomach, with a faulty bladder or a weak heart.
The tattoo artist should've been looking out for him, I blame the artist.
Another tat? Now one tattoo, your riding the fence there buddy, but two?!?! Heathen. ;)
I got a sacred heart on my shoulder, and the word "DOULOS" on the inside of my arm. You can almost see the tattoo that's on the inside of muy arm in the picture. Doulos is the Greek word for Slave, or Bondservant. It's the word that the Apostle Paul used to describe his relationship with Jesus. It's different from what slave means today. Doulos is not a slave that is owned, or a slave that is paid for their work, but a bondservant, that serves the master out of a deep, lifelong commitment. A servant that is compelled to service by something deeper than the promise of reward, or the threat of violence.
I'm getting ready to finish up the "half sleeve". It will go all the way around my arm from the elbow up to the shoulder. I can't wait to get it finished.
i agree with the hidden valley girl, tattoos = damnation. it's true; i heard it on the 700 club.
SUCK IT UP, WUSS FACE. just kidding. i'm partly with you on that one ben. it could have been the guy getting tattooed's fault as well. maybe his pride got in the way and he didn't want to admit that he needed the artist to stop. if it was a long appointment, the artist should have made sure the dude had eaten and offered water or a beverage of some sort. it's just one of those random, what the hell, are you kidding, types of things. and if you are feeling dizzy, the thing NOT to do is stand up and walk around, especially not near some glass display cases. what was he trying to do, walk the light-headedness off? i think i just made up a word. . .and rambled a bit. . .
Themistocles ~ 700 club, YEP!! I think that's the one . . . or was it TBN's special broadcast feature: "Tattoos=damnation" Yes, I believe Jan Crouch said that permanent makeup and wigs were exceptions to the rule!! J/K!!! Seriously though, if you've never seen a TBN special with hosts Paul and Jan Crouch, you really should . . . It's a good time for sure!! ;)
