MC Just Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 me and tricia wanna get tats. I'm thinking the sacred heart...
Carrie Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 St. Michael would be a great tat! I want to get another tattoo. I'm thinking a rosary.
p0lar_bear Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 [quote name='inDEED' date='Aug 24 2004, 02:16 AM'] Is that the Trinity symbol? [/quote] yes
Lil Red Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 [quote name='inDEED' date='Aug 23 2004, 08:04 PM'] A couple things added...and a new one... I'll get some pics of my current ones up ASAP... Lil' Red, did you decide on yours? [/quote] umm, yeah, but i'm still in the thinking stage. i know what i want, i just wanna make sure of it before i get it.
inDEED Posted August 24, 2004 Author Posted August 24, 2004 [quote name='Phazzan' date='Aug 24 2004, 12:40 AM'] I thought tattoos were sinful. [/quote] Nope.
Carrie Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 There was a huge discussion about it in the debate table. Let's not debate it here. I helped do that enough in that thread. Phazzan, it's on the 2nd page I think, if you want to check out the debate. inDEED, did you decide on what you were getting yet?
inDEED Posted August 24, 2004 Author Posted August 24, 2004 Well, I scheduled an appointment that's in about 30 minutes... I scratch the "Angel" idea because the dude wanted $200 to do it and frankly, I haven't gotten the wife's permission for that! So...I'm still gettin the Latin around the shield, but I'm also getting my wife's name tattooed on my left shoulder with the words, "What God has joined, let no man divide" in Latin...
MichaelFilo Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 ::sigh:: ... agian I'll have to pose that question, would Jesus, Mary, or a Saint get a tattoo? God bless, Mikey
inDEED Posted August 25, 2004 Author Posted August 25, 2004 So I got the words around the shield done... And I got my wife's name with the cross that you'd see on the Rite of Marriage Liturgy book... Pics coming ASAP...
IcePrincessKRS Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 [quote name='Phazzan' date='Aug 24 2004, 02:40 AM'] I thought tattoos were sinful. [/quote] Only if they are excessive (which would be considered mutilitation, just like excessive body piercing). Some people will say that any tatoo or piercing is grave matter but there is no official Church teaching on the subject, and nowhere can I find any statement from someone who can be said to speak in any sort of official capacity for the Church saying that getting a tatoo is grave matter. If anyone really wants to make this a debate I suggest you dredge up the thread in the Debate Table, and if someone does try to debate in here I suggest the mods edit it. But thats just my $0.02.

Carrie Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Yeah, leave the debating to the debate table. inDEED, your tattoos sound awesome! Bet the wife is thrilled with her name on you.
Lil Red Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 that's awesome, inDEED! i can't wait for the pics!
inDEED Posted August 26, 2004 Author Posted August 26, 2004 Here they is... [img]http://www.universalillusions.com/images/shieldtat.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.universalillusions.com/images/mandymae.jpg[/img] The only thing is...the bottom of the cross under "Mandy Mae" is a bit crooked...
inDEED Posted August 26, 2004 Author Posted August 26, 2004 The red is gonna clear up...it's NOT part of the tat...
socalscout Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 (edited) Very Nice. I got the wife's name. The guy tried to talk me out of it. He said no relationship has ever lasted after he tattooed a person's name on someone. I ignored him. There is a greater power at work. Did you find any Catholic symbols? I have searched the web and did not come up with much. I don't need a tat to show I am Catholic but I woud like to have one. Everyone has the Sacred Heart and Crucifixes. I thought about the Eucharist and Chalice. I even thought about the apotles creed. I also thought about the Keys inside the Fish but I don't know how that would look. The Chi Rho is cool but not necessarily specific to Catholicism although most things Christian were originally Catholic. I also thought about incorporating one line "I believe in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church" into something. We'll see. Again, nice work. Edited August 26, 2004 by socalscout
cooltuba Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Here's my Sacred Heart: [img]http://home.earthlink.net/~cooltuba/MVC-031F.JPG[/img] [img]http://home.earthlink.net/~cooltuba/MVC-029F.JPG[/img] [img]http://home.earthlink.net/~cooltuba/MVC-030F.JPG[/img] Have fun getting your ink! --Tim

[/quote] Yeah...that's been the most difficult part of my tattoo searches...getting something SPECIFICALLY CATHOLIC...Some of the thoughts I've had... - The Keys to the Church (Vatican flag) - The Marian symbol on the the back of the Mary Immaculeta metal Pictures like that...
