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.

Well they probably want people to know they love Jesus but you don't have to get a tattoo to prove it.. Christianity is shown by actions...

Personally, I don't like it.
Praying hands=religious aspect- whatever way you look at it. Crosses, Bibles, Jesus, ect.... all symbols of religion which say that you are not supposed to deface your body meaning no tattoos OR piercings to be honest.
By getting a cross or praying hands, I think it's almost mocking to what the Bible says or they think that because it's religious, God will not look at the tattoo as defacing the body but more of a billboard for christianity.
As for rappers getting these tattoos.... I think it's hypocritical for the above reason and because many rappers do not sing of anything God would approve of.
This particular tattoo bothers me. Sorry I sound like such a tight a** but there's no other way to say it annnnd yet I'm not totally against tattoos.
Haha I hope you could understand me.

i would think that there is some reason that he feels the tattoo is neccicary to have and that he is a person that probly needs gods protection and mercy. the thing about tats like that is that when people see them a bad azz image is given off like gangsta or sumpthin and when people see tats like that they treat you differently. if your a fake azz pansy you could eventually be misunderstod and beaten severely or shot or stabbed or somthing. when you try to act like a thug whithout the heart of a thug and the mind of a thug you usually end up on the ground cryin like a bich.

i think that the person wearing it has lost a loved one. kind of like r i p. now remember, you asked for feed back- i think praying hands is a little tacky. for whatever reason. i wasn't aware that it was popularized by someone else.theres alot of cool stuff out there. have him check out what else the artist has.

I think of Jesus...but it might have a different meaning...i am over 50 years old and I might not be up on what the real meaning is...

Idk why, but I either take it that the person is religious, or that they have/is gone through something rough in their life & have it for protection or as a symbol of overcoming an obstacle and having faith. Thats just me though. = )

Virgin Mary comes to mind first...then my very religious grandmother (rest her soul).

I think he/she is a "gangster"/criminal or has close relations with them.
