I want a back tattoo of the iconic pose of Saint Christopher and the 'creed' of his as a paragraph on my ribs near my heart..... but I'm really not a religious guy. Does that conflict? I don't know anything about saints or Saint Christopher or his relation to jebus or god or anything...



Is it hypocritical for me to get this tattooed even though I am openly not religious and entirely uneducated about the whole scene????

IMO I think you're good to go... I don't think having a tattoo like that necessarily mean you're religious. Besides, like you stated before,you're mom left and she gave you a coin of hers, which brought you luck and guide. That right there is considered an inspiration for a tattoo.

Why dont you take some time out in you life to actually learn it ? im sure its not a College course

 

[jeyel]

in all honesty im sure a majority of christians dont know much about st. christopher. if it has meaning to you .. i say go for it. but it would probably be agood idea to wiki it or something

edit: blue sky black death

[color= rgb(102, 0, 153)]My thing is this....tattoos are art work, i plan on get some that have meaning yet some that look iljust cuz they're art...$*@+ what somebody else thinks[/color]


[color= rgb(102, 0, 153)]for example, i wanna get this on my arm, or a similar design[/color]

Christopher asked him how he could serve Christ. When the hermit suggested fasting and prayer, Christopher replied that he was unable to perform that service. The hermit then suggested that because of his size and strength Christopher could serve Christ by assisting people to cross a dangerous river, where many were perishing in the attempt


It's a wrap

That has rather significant ideals coordinating to my beliefs.

Also, the paragraph on the flipside of the coin reads:

Protect us
on our travels,
wherever we
may roam;
keep us safe
and guide us,
always safely
home.
Which I read is the inspiration for my favorite song

I want to get both tattooed, but location location location....
Paragraph over my heart and Saint Christopher on my shoulder?



Question: I'm a skinny dude who plans to spend the next year in the gym, and I know my arms are going to dramatically increase in girth. Would that affecta tattoo by stretching it at all? Is that a stupid question?

It'd look SICK

Bad grammar? no one can tell this and its on your chest... ain't like you're getting a chinese symbol of power when it really means toilet paper

man you just gave me inspiration cuz my name is christopher and i always loved that story but never thought of it as a tattoo. i believe it also says that hebared the weight of the owrld on his shoulders because he helped jesus across but he didnt know that he did,

does anyone know if im right?
