I’ve noticed this too. It almost seems like the majority have tattoos now especially in 20 to 50 age group. I see it as a clear sign/symptom of the occult beliefs being promoted and becoming more prevalent in the world, along with a focus on glorifying ‘self’ and individual expression over submitting to God’s will. Hence the occult flavour of many of the images. They give away the underlying spiritual beliefs of the bearer even if the original draw was simply that they appeared cool, arty, and fashionable. There is quite a lot of ‘do as though wilt’ about it.
Loading...Lol …divide them and rule them in their ignorance . The essence of the beating heart and mother earth are godly . The body is sinful and satanic . Each and every one of us has that darkness within , not me I hear you shut ! , well analysis those emotions that rot your throat … spirituality is the only way out .
Loading...Check out “The Lizard Man” or “The Enigma”… Both are “performance artists” and have their entire body tattooed along with implants and other body modifications. They look pretty demonic, but are quite intelligent. Listen to their reasoning and explanations for their body altering behaviors. (Fame, Attention, Addiction, Pushing Boundaries.) Easy to find on YT. I personally wouldn’t see their show…
Then again we have countless individuals addicted to plastic surgeries, and even tattoo’s seem to be “addictive.”
People get one, and then another… The days of barbed wire arm-bands are gone!
Tattoo’s are very popular where I live. Oriental/Hindu/Gaia tattoo’s are popular. (Dragons, Tigers, [Flames] Ohm, Shiva, Elephants, “The Flower of Life”, Gaia symbols, Rainbow symbols of all kinds.)
I see them on aged 30+ people mostly.
There may be a pain factor that some people find addictive as well.
Admittedly I have a tattoo. From my youth. A “stick and poke” … I did it myself, with 2 sewing needles/thread banded to a rod. Dipped in tattoo ink. Then tapped into my leg. Are you tough? Don’t do it! Leviticus 19:28 If I could I would remove it.
Loading...I can’t stand attending a wedding where the bride and her bridesmaids have their beautiful dresses on, perfect makeup and gorgeous hairstyles only to have all these hideous tattoos showing. It really repulses me and is so distracting from the wedding ceremony. All I do the whole time is think to myself how awful they look as they are standing up front.
Loading...Yes Leviticus forbids tattoos, but I read a book by a ministry in the US dedicated to getting people out of satanism/witchcraft. In it it mentions that a lot of tattooist are satanist and curse the needles to get demons into people, I’m not sure as I’ve no experience of those things. But locically thinking, if it’s forbidden then the devil wants us to do it and rebel against God who seeks to protect us from those things that allow demons into our lives!?
But salvation is available to even the most tattoo’d person in the UK….call on the name of Jesus now, repent and believe what He did on the cross for you. He paid the price for all of your sins, and whoever repenst and calls on the name of the Lord, will be saved.
Loading...I think tattoos are a sign of mental illness (personality disorders) along with piercings, oddly coloured (bright) hair, outrageous makeup, clothing, etc.
I think it’s one of 2 things, the person wanting to “stand out” to get more attention, or being unhappy with who they are and believing if they can look different they become different.
I think in women it’s more related to Borderline Personality Disorder, the chronic feelings of emptiness being a classic symptom and matching with trying to “change” yourself into something different (could also apply to trans nutters, etc) or get more attention (like trans nutters, etc).
Loading...Mental illness was heritary in my case as I was born with ‘sleep apnea’ … Which meant that I could not sleep throughout my life until I realised what the problem was at the age of 50 and managed to have an operation to correct it. Common symptoms were stress, anxiety and being irritable…. With constant migraine
Loading...tattoos and being humble which god honors are polar opposites. if you are truley humble you wouldnt get tattoos as most tattooed people are proud and want to stand out from the crowd but these days not many people dont have tattoos so better not to get them and you’ll stand out from the crowd.
Loading...Funny you’ve mentioned tattoos. More than ten years ago NHS management in a setting I work for, issued a policy: no tattos, no obscure hair colours etc…
It was then, this is now: the rule of thumb is that male and female staff are tattooed and have multiple piercing, women/girls sport fancy fake eye lashes and injected lips like ‘never enough’. Obscure hair colours are actually not that dominant, but fleeces with rainbow motif on the night shifts are.
Having been widowed and looking for relationship I told my female friend what I am not looking for in a potential candidate. Namely no debts, no tobacco/ marijuana smoking habit, no excessive drinking habit and strictly no tattoos as they churn my stomach. Basically traditionalism regarding appearance. This, to start with, defines for me a foundation for a good marriage/ relationship I was once in. Years ago in summer I wanted to have a temporary tattoo, but I was also undecisive what I wanted to have and ended up without having any. Regular tattoos churn my stomach probably because I see so many of them on staff an the patients. After I finished my ‘wish list’ for a partner, my friend rolled her eyes and I understood that likelihood that I find someone I am looking for is very low ;).
In the past I would see most tattoos as a sign of individualism and expression of their personality.
Probably most would regret the decision as maturity changes your world view.
(Side note, which is why I believe the education system now require kids to stay in the liberal schooling system untill 18. You forment your political views in early adulthood for next decade of two as you mix with adults who share views around.
Don’t want those kids listening to too many wrong thinkers at a place of work. Best to keep the indoctrination in a controlled environment.)
Recent years I would suggest that tattoos are a sign of conformity and social acceptance amongst their peer groups. Especially women as they are more sociable conformists, community builders if you like.
Men folk have alas become effeminate and suffer acceptance issues.
Ironically, majority of people getting tattoos nowadays feel it’s their individualism, yet so many tattoos are of generic design.
For me it’s a self abuse and sign they are not content with themselves. (I’m not saying all )
Loading...If they are not content then they can go extreme and make themselves seem edgy and out there.
A bit of a cringe one ! Anal sex was brought into acceptance between heterosexual partners and talked about even encouraged between peer groups as a quest of sexual experience. The same time , LGBT and shortly after child trans movements were being positioned into ever aspect of life. Coincidence?
Maybe a encouraged, unnatural progression to acceptance of those groups, can’t criticize something you have done.
I accept that nature throws out a very small minority of sexual deviations but today with have a epidemic of deviants. Why ?
I feel they receive a protective status and gives them an untouchable position, soaring them high in the social spectrum.
Modern individualism is ironically ironic.
