VOTING IS CLOSED. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHOWING SOME LOVE TO YOUR FAVORITE DURING THIS LAST WEEK. THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED TOMORROW.
Alright, the judges have spoken and have selected the 13 tattoos they thought were the best. It was interesting to see how different judges gravitated toward different designs. Please vote by posting a comment with the number or name of the tattoo you dig. “Dig” is open to your own interpretation. You can vote for more than one design if you feel like it. Voting will remain open until Sunday, August 3rd at midnight.
The tattoo with the highest number of votes will win. I included back story for the tattoos that were sent with some. If you own one of these tattoos and want to share your story, email me and I will add it.
1. Mercy – (Very faint design)
I used to be a ‘cutter’ to use the today’s terminology. By God’s grace alone I have been free from self-harm for nearly three years. For a long time, though, I was ashamed of my scars. Then the idea for the tattoo’s came. My left arm, my spot of choice for cutting, is where I have the word ‘mercy.’ As it is His mercy that keeps me from getting all that I deserve and now those scars serve as a reminder of all He has kept me from. I have the word ‘grace’ on my scar free arm because that is what grace is all about. A clean slate, completely undeserved, no blemishes, no spots, no scars. It may be strange to some, I’m sure it is, really. But, more importantly to me, it is the Gospel spelled out on my arms!
2. Dollar Bill
3. Angel on Back
My name is Maggie, I’m 23, and this was my first tattoo. It reads “and He showed me a pure river of water of LIFE clear as crystal”. The design was taken from the front of a rather large bible that has been in my family for about 6 generations.
4. Grace Grows in Winter
