Q. Any suggestions will do, but honest ones.
A. That's something I can't say, without looking at you. I put one on a woman about your age the other day. She wanted a butterfly with a wasp rear end and stinger, in blue and green, with a tan body. New tattoos on older people ALWAYS look good. They usually get top quality artwork. Sight unseen, the ankle is your best bet. And the only reason I say the ankle, or the back of the neck, sight unseen, is so that the tattoo will fit the area it's being put on well. Above the breast, but not ON the breast is also a sexy spot. Many men find breast tattoos, or 'titoos' as we lovingly call them, are a turn-off for many men that are otherwise comfortable with them being closer to the top of the breast, rather than ON it. It's a common thing with men. Just being honest. And the butterfly is always popular for a reason, it's colorful, insinuates freedom, and there are a million ways to do them. You can do them in an abstract fashion, you can do them as realism, (with bloodlines) so that you can do it like a painting, instead of lining them. Where you put it can best be decided by sticking the stencil in different spots, so you can get an idea. The stencil can be restuck about six times. If you get it on your left hip bone, for example, it should be flying to your left, as if in flight away from you. Also, the eyes naturally follow art from left to right, and then sweep around, counter-clockwise. But, hey, it's your ink. Whatever melts your butter.
Agree with God that gays are an abomination?
Q. Agree with God that gays are an abomination?
He has made it clear in the Bible that a man who lies with another man as with a woman is an abomination unto him (it disgusts him). Do you agree?

A. Leviticus, right? Let's do some Bible study.
Leviticus 20:13 and 18:22 - Men should not have sex with men. Well, at least there's nothing about making out with men, or loving men. So I suppose this is only against gay people who have sex. Also, it says nothing about lesbians.
Leviticus 20:9 - If you curse your parents, you get to die. Well, that's a lot of people.
Leviticus 20:10 - If you commit adultery, you get to die.
Leviticus 20:18 - If you have sex with a woman when she's on her period, you both get to be exiled.
Leviticus 21:17 - Don't let "blemished" people near the offerings to God. This includes the blind, the lame, the mutilated, and people with one limb slightly longer than the other.
Leviticus 21:23 - Oh, and they can't come near the altar, either.
Leviticus 11:7 - No more bacon for you.
Leviticus 11:10 - No oysters, or crabs, or lobsters. I think vegetarian is the safest option. You can eat crickets, though (11:22).
Leviticus 11:29-32 - If your pet gecko dies, throw the whole cage out, and don't touch anything the gecko corpse touched. Gotta buy whole new stuff if you want another gecko.
Leviticus 12:2-6 - If a woman has a male child, she's not allowed in church for 33 days. If it's a girl, that's 66. Also, when that's over, she has to have the priest sacrifice a baby sheep and some other stuff.
Leviticus 13:45 - If you have leprosy, you have to act like you're a loony.
Leviticus 19:17 - Don't hate your kin. Yeah, even if they're gay. It says it rather plainly, actually: "You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin." 18 covers "love thy neighbor." Even if they're gay.
Leviticus 19:27-28 - Don't mess with the beard, don't get piercings (doesn't exclude ears, sorry), and don't get tattoos.
Leviticus 19:24 - Love the foreigners. I'm pointing this one out because I quite like it. : )
What were the others again? Oh, right. Judges. Apparently giving a bunch of rapists your virgin daughter is okay in that one.
Addressing Romans 1:26-27... To my knowledge, Paul was not writing God's word. This is Paul's letter, not a direct dictation from God. Paul mentions lesbians when the rest of the Bible does not--where did he get the idea that it was wrong? Certainly not from scripture, or people would be quoting that one, too.
Corinthians: Eh, this is Paul again. So is Timothy. Jude is, well, Jude. In the Bible or not, these are religious letters, not God's word. They're man's word, at best, based on their interpretations of God's teachings.
Based on the above, I'm afraid I give more weight to the New Testament than to the old, and then, to God's word and Jesus's teachings--not interpretations of teachings in letters.
I'd like to end this answer by bringing up Matthew 25:40 - "Just as you did it to one of the least of those who are members of my family, you did it to me." If anything, the Bible teaches that we should not hate, not even the sinners, because we are all sinners. Hating someone, including someone who is gay, is the same as hating ourselves. Treating someone badly, including someone who is gay, is treating the Lord and his teachings with disrespect. You can consider homosexuality, the act, an abomination if you'd like, but do not consider the people anything less than people.
That said, I personally don't consider homosexuality an abomination, same as I don't flinch when I eat bacon. The rules in Leviticus were important for the time--have sex with women so you get children, keep the women clean when they're on their period, have all diseases checked out by the priest... But in today's society, they're outdated. We're overpopulating the earth and killing that with which we were entrusted. What would God say? Sometimes, I wish he'd come down and tell us. Until then, I'll pray and let Him guide me.
Aren't you glad we didn't get into Deuteronomy? :D That one's a lot of fun!
