Tattooed people! Have you ever dealt with friends and family who didn't approve of your tattoos, specifically citing religious reasons? How did you/do you handle that?
I tell them that the people who have been the kindest, most generous, and loving toward me have had tattoos, or have been supportive of skin art. Conversely the meanest people in my life did not approve of tattoos. I just share that tidbit of information, and turn the tables on them.
My dad, the least religious person in my family besides me, was seriously unhappy when I got my first tattoo. He accepts that I have them but he doesn't like them. I'm pretty sure the rest of my family all have at least one tattoo
Absolutely I have had a couple cousins and an Aunt who are still practicing christians tell me I'm going to hell for the several demons and skulls I have woven into both quarter sleeves of my arms. I delt with the same I deal with most topics I have no interest in. Heavy sarcasm.
