Christian Tattoo Cover-up
January 21, 2014 at 12:52 pm (This post was last modified: January 21, 2014 at 12:55 pm by ThePinsir.)
I have a chi rho tattooed on my back. I wanna do something with it, something science-y. I want the tattoo to show de-conversion somehow. I've got a few ideas, and and hoping that some people more creative than myself can give me some ideas.

I'm not tatooed myself, but it's not particularly unusual for a tatoo artist to be an atheist, or at least professionally apathetic on religous issues. Consulting with a tatoo artist might be helpful.

Rawr.

Sorry, what? All I see is a nice back and... lower back. Angel
If you turn around maybe we can help. I mean, everyone knows the ink on the back must match the person on the front.

Haha, thanks!

I'm not sure how turning around will help, but I'm a vain mo-fo. Why not. The only other tat I have is a Star Wars one, the Rebel Alliance emblem. Visible here:

Bumper stickers aren't enough for some people.

Nope Big Grin

Body modification goes back for as long as humans have existed
[if you consider this a reputable source: http://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/nonfic...ification/].

Tattooing and piercing are parts of lots of cultures. Hell, even bodybuilding is kind of body modification.

To me good looking ink peaking out from under clothing is like a good cleavage. I adore inked bodies. This is why I have some of my own. I know of a few other AF members that have some and I love it. It has to be done right, and in the right places, of course. There is nothing I find more unattractive than a hand or face covered in ink. I mean, wrists are fine, but the back of the hand? Ghetto.

One of my best buddies has the face of Darwin tattoo. Love it! It looks just like Darwin! Great art. I make him flash everybody every time I introduce him. lol

No, bumper stickers are not enough.
