Yeah, I'm not surprised the dissenting opinions come from "god fearing folk." I don't believe in deities. Must be why I have tattoos. Heathens are wicked, and wicked folk are naturally trashy and lowly people.
Actually, that's quite comical, so comical that I can't take it seriously.
I was joking (I guess I was successful since you are saying its very comical), I don't really believe in god. Im just a regular clean cut stud muffin.
funny how you don't seem to want to be judged by your tattoos but you have some pretty harsh criticisms for people who believe in god. I guess its a one way street with you.

Would just like to let you know that I am a Southern Baptist. Before I moved to the area I am in now, I was in the choir, I was a Sunday School teacher, and I worked with the AWANA kids as well as with Vacation Bible School.
My children were also baptized and are Southern Baptist.
im a northern Baptist myself, don't think much of the southern Baptists.
I cannot answer the question, because what I think of the person's tattoos will depend on whether I find them attractive. Attractivness and tattoos are not mutually exclusive.
I have tattoos, nothing against them. But large tattoos that are constantly visible aren't really my thing. That said, I typically wouldn't discount falling in love with somebody who superficially may not be what I typically go for. Attraction often exists separately from our own self-imposed parameters. Never say never. A cool guy is a cool guy, even if he has a sleeve tattoo, and I don't love sleeve tattoos.
My husband has no tattoos (although he has been a sailor in the U.S. Navy for a dozen years!). I don't love him more or less due to the presence or absence of tattoos. He doesn't really care overly much for tattoos in general, but is okay with mine (two, small, typically concealed). I'm sure he'd be cool with me not having any, but I got them a decade before we even knew one another, and he's not hung up on it.
Tattoos and the military, that goes hand in hand. The people I know of that served, all of them earned their ink, they didn't buy it.
The funnies and trashiest was my HS shop teacher. He had a topless mermaid? underside of arm that could flex and make her dance.
But hey he got in the Navy WWII so I respect that.
How do you know that other people didn't "earn their ink?"
Perhaps they went through some very difficult life events or circumstances that lead them to get tattoos.
Being in the military isn't the only thing that "earns" a person the right to get a tattoo.
My ex husband was covered in tattoos and he was 82nd airborne, but none of his had a damned thing to do with the military except the one that was the face of an Arab woman.
Honestly!
