My boyfriend is thinking about getting a new tattoo on his forearm. I am not against tattoos just against this idea of tattoos that have been popularized by rap artist. I’m posting this hopeing to get some feed back on what ppl think when they see this paticular tattoo on ppl.

The first thing that comes to mind when i see images like that is that it looks like something a million people have and a million more people will get. If he wants to get something showing faith, i suggest he do some soal searching to find something that will be a little more meaningful. Good Luck though…
Hispanic descent.
Tattoos have personal meanings. I try not to judge by them. But normally if I see praying hands I think of the person as being religious or at least self respectful. The tattoos that I don’t normally like unless it’s in memory of someone is the lower back on a girl. Just because of how generic they are. Personal preference, I think it’s a good idea if it means something to him.
I suppose I’d assume the person with the tatoo was a bit of a Jesus-freak.
Prison….Doesnt it symbolize something….like people who have been incarcerated for a certain crime? Im not totally sure….but I think it does !
I think of mexican gangsters. Those are the only people I’ve ever seen with tattoo’s of praying hands on them. They usually also have a large tattoo of jesus on a cross on their back, and there name written in huge letters across either their shoulderblades or small of back.
to be perfectly honest, i don’t think anything!
i have seen it on people before, but i never pass judgment.
i see too many people with tattoos to have time to think about every person’s ink!
the last time i was at the tattoo parlor, i heard a guy talking to one of the artists about getting “Father Forgive Me.”
now does that mean he has committed a crime? or maybe just something that is considered a sin in the bible? or was he just trying to give other people the impression that he is dangerous?
who knows!
some girls get butterflies just because they think its cute, while some get them to actually represent change, or rebirth!!
so i wouldn’t really think anything.
my brothers and my sister have tattoos, and i still have never asked them why they got them or what they mean.
if it means something to them, that’s all that matters!!
something tragic has happend
For some reason, I think of Catholicism…
I don’t think that he should get it solely because he thinks it “looks good” though…It’s a religious symbol….
I start looking for his ole lady with the life sized battle ship tattooed on her *** to match!
maybe he/her lost his mind?
IS HE/HER A HYPOCRITE!!!!!!!
1. former criminal, now born again christian
2. run!
first of all i have alot of ink and I believe everyone should be able to express themselves how they want, but tattoos are meant to be an original form of expression! Why get what hundreds of other people already have? When I see the hands I usually think fashion victim! I’m sure there are heaps of people who have it and it means and represents something to them, fine but getting it just because it looks cool is a stupid stupid reason and most people will realise thats what the reason was. Tell him an original piece of work will be much more “cooler”
LAME
I don’t really pass judgment about tattoos or try to figure out what they mean anymore. Everyone gets tattoos for themselves and its not my place to invade that privacy, usually.
Most of the time, I just look at the quality of the ink and if I love it, I’ll give em a compliment and be on my way. If it sucks, I hope they get a cover up and that’s that.
As long as its well done it shouldn’t matter. Oh, and I don’t really think it was solely rap artists who popularized tattoos. You should try to be more open minded about it and respectful. Your bf is not trying to be a thug or gangster, and if he is, tell him to be who he is.
Edit: Now that I see that he just thinks it looks good, tell him he’s an idiot and he should reconsider and get something meaningful to him. Tattoos that just ‘look good’ are quickly regretted.
well his reason is silly, and the first thing i think (maybe because i know a few people with this tattoo) they are guilty of something!
it isn’t actually jesus’s hands. search for the history. i am pretty sure it is based on a sculpture done a long time ago of the artists friend or whatever that had a debilitating disease that contorted and disfigured his hands. one night the artist saw the man laying in bed praying and his hands were together on his chest, pointed to god and they looked perfect and normal. the artist was inspired and sculpted what he saw. his translation was that all things are possible through god. which has carried over to the tattoo.
The need for prayer in their lives
lol i would think he’s christian deffinatly… or he believes in god, i guess there the both of the same thing.. usually people get tattoos because they mean something not for the hell of it or because “it looks cool”
if he is going to get a tattoo…he should get something that means something him and that is somewhat original. Whats the point of having someone else’s tattoo art copied onto your body…make it a twist on something he likes….or add something to it.
Mexican
Even if your boyfriend isnt into religion, that’d be the first thing I’d think..Why else would someone want praying hands on them?
He wants them “just because he thinks it’ll look good?” maybe he needs to put some more thought into a tattoo.
It reminds me to be thankful.
People pray when they need help or guidance and forget to say, “Hey thanks”.
Personal I think that that is a sighn of someone who wants to be closer to the lord but doesnt know how to exzacly!!!
Lizzie
that they’re praying to God? I dunno.
hate to sound prejudice but honestly
hispanic
i suppose it’s because of the catholic connection with mexico
