As a heavily tattooed Christian woman, if you don’t have tattoos you don’t need to tell me your excuses or what you would get. You don’t want them, cool. I did, so I have them. It’s no more complicated than that.
I used to hate tattoos and the first time I saw face tattoos I thought it was strange but hearing the stories behind from thoughtful people softened me up to them. Shane specifically, just talking about his background and his journey and wanting to see the physical representation of it every time he sees himself is something I appreciate. I think they’re alright, we don’t need to be offended by it.
Yup Ive seen Asian women as you are or mabey you're Latina or Asian mestizo mixed. I've seen female Asians female mestizas that has tattoos all over their female feminine body and they look beautiful but not all women and not all men can look good also you must put on meaningful quotes especially as a Christian for Christ.
A Pints video clip about tattoos? Golly, I think I'm about to see the most reasonable comments section of all time, one filled with people on the mission of saving souls, and not on the mission of sanctimonious busybodying!
@@puritanbob I didn’t expect a comment like this. Typically we prefer comfy lies that justify our actions/inactions. I grew up around biker gang culture. But those rugged men and women are in many ways no different than the suburban mom fighting for happiness through clinging to youthful beauty. It’s all oriented around a denial of our true identity as children of God and replacing it with something much less than God intended.
Tattoos are a form of art. They could be coping for some but that’s art in general. It has many expressions and meanings and each tattoo has a different purpose from person to person. For one person its vanity, the next its insecurity, another a satanic devotion, for those like Coptic Christian’s it’s a part of their culture and was used to protect them against being kidnapped by Muslims and in modern day is required to enter their churches in Egypt for security (this one so clearly doesn’t fit your definition), many others get them as tributes to lost loved ones or they just appreciate the art. I would say the vanity exists but you can’t for sure say it makes up the majority without hearing from the person. Botox in contrast is explicitly vain, their is no art to it or other purpose, there’s no other purpose to it except to attempt to reverse aging, it is no where near as varied and artful as tattoos. Hormone replacement therapy is possibly the take I have to disagree with the most here since it has real health effects and is hardly vanity in the slightest. Especially since testosterone rates have been on decline I can see absolutely nothing wrong with men substituting their declining testosterone to improve their health. I don’t think your critique here is some kind of hard truth people don’t like, I think it’s a conflation of three very different things, and a complete misunderstanding on why they are taken, with exception of Botox and with a slight caveat that some people who get tattoos and some tattoos themselves are vain. God bless
@ I did say “save the rare exception.” I appreciate your comments. My take was more a commentary on American culture so most of your examples do not apply. Quick question. Do you think 60 year old dudes taking T and having a S drive of a 20 year old is a good idea? That’s a consequence of the T replacement so called treatment. In the end all of these (save rare exception) are a rejection and denial of the gifts we were given, flawed attempts to discover our true identity: child of god.
I don't get the people that call themselves christian yet look down on others as if they're better. Remember when Jesus went to the people that the holier then thou crowed looked down upon. Pretty much everyone judges others in someway but maybe try not to believe yourself better or more pious than them. Besides looks can be deceiving some of the worst crooks wear a suit and tie, clean cut, and by all appearances you would think what a nice young man.
Is he neurodivergent? Speaking as one myself with many friends who are...he gives ADHD/Autistic vibes. We often have hyper fixations and tend to follow impulses. I'm really grateful to God I was able to get a diagnosis because it really helps shine light on behaviors. But I'm happy our Blessed Mother and Jesus are slowly bringing him back into the light.
I like how the people commenting are being judgemental, on shaynes image, but dont see the inside of him and how nice and a down to earth guy he is. I'd like for the ones commenting on this video below to analyse themselves and tell us about the issues and problems they have, as from what im gathering here they don't carry or hold any sins..... 🤦🏻♂️
I love my tattoos. Mine are tasteful and coverable for professionalism and fashion purposes. Also...I am catholic to the core. I don't think I could fly with face tats though.
I was never able to see the fascination with tattoos. I don’t really see the point. I don’t want drawings on my body. I was just never into it. I don’t have any tattoos at all, not even one.
I love these fellas, and I know Matt has a lot of tattooed friends on the show. But to offer another perspective… Once you get a tattoo, you can never be truly naked again. The truly human body is made of flesh, and Christ assumed flesh to save us. Your skin is a beautiful thing and something to be cared for. I’d like to ask Matt if it’s hypocritical to support tattoos yet be opposed to Botox.
That’s a good point. In my opinion if it matters lol is that cosmetic Botox is usually done for purely vain reasons, like appearing attractive to others or even yourself, and then tattoos can be done for other reasons like marking a special moment or showing commitment to something (hopefully something worth committing too) but I’m down for other perspectives
Shane's enthusiastic about his tattoos. I like mine, too. The two I have that I thought about for years before I inked them. The cardinal virtues and early Christian cross and another that says Amor fati love all fates.
Tattoos are such a self destructive thing. We all know Popeye had a tattoo of an anchor on his arm and that many drunken sailors or soldiers stumbled into dirty tattoo parlors to have something inked onto their arms as a souvenir they when sober regretted. The tattoo mocked them in their own stupidity. Peer pressure is often dangerous and regrettable. In my opinion tatoos are skanky, angry, self loathing and very ugly. They sag and look like deflated balloons with age and make it hard for doctirs yo find vribs if you end up in hospital. Tattoos on the face and neck make a person unemployable and untrustworthy because they are call signs that yell helter skelter. They should be removed bia via laser. For that reason the Hebrews held as law; 'You shall not make any gashes in your flesh for the dead or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the LORD.' Leviticus 19:28
Do you still follow kosher dietary laws as a Christian ? Are you circumcised like the old testament says? Or do you pick which ones you want to follow?
You do realize that tattoos as we know them in modern times we’re not present in biblical ones ?? It’s more an expression of markings upon the body & on top of that’s from the Old Testament then on top of that it’s from Leviticus which is just a swath of rules for the Israelites. These guidelines were levied to set them apart from the neighboring tribes and nations that performed ritualistic scarring or marking for the dead, among other practices. a swath of rules for the Israelites……a better argument would’ve been defacing gods temple since you are in the Christian sense made in gods image but even then it’s ridiculous……it’s like Christians either willfully don’t know their own history, context, & books or like to pick n choose what parts to say And how to say them to fit what narrative they believe to be true

Stop attributing motive to people you know nothing about. You’re prejudging someone based on a pre conceived notion. This is our favorite thing to do in modern society, sit from a distance and attribute motive to people we know nothing about so we can feel like we’re better people. Seriously grow up and focus on yourself
That’s a broad statement about everyone with a tattoo. My half sleeve has nothing to do with attention seeking. In fact I cover it a lot because I don’t like the attention . However it’s significance to me and my life .
@@clouddancer46 Nah. That's your opinion. Which is fine but I'm covered and I don't seek attention. If a person walks down the road in broad daylight just wearing a thong then that's going to turn heads. It's the same with Tattoos...people like to look and be nosey. Doesn't necessarily mean you are attention seeking.
His conversion story video clip was 18 minutes, and anyway I would argue in favor of the short video clips for the important parts. Not every single time of course, but many times I think people are not willing to sit and watch longer videos, especially about heavy topics, so having something short and digestable with meaningful takeaways does not sound like a problem to me. For example, the Ascension Presents channel's videos are rarely longer than 10 minutes, and are usually more like 6 or 7.
What do the tattoos mean? They mean he has daddy issues and needs attention. Anyone who pretends they don’t want to be asked about their tattoos is lying, that’s the whole point, creating a gnostic body that you have to explain to others.
As a heavily tattooed person. Your wrong, my tattoos honor the Almighty God and what he has done in my life. If this is your mindset then don't wear clothes with words or art. He who casts the first stone......

Good idea

Would you consider having the face tats removed?

Tats, Botox, Fillers, 60 year old men taking “hormone” therapy. Save the rare exception, is oriented towards filing a void/addressing wounds.

If I got a tattoo (I won’t and never will) it would have be the St. Benedict Medal on my chest and back. If I absolutely had to.
Do it!
Nice journey. Nice person. God bless him and all of us.

You can have the same “art” on a cloth-canvas.
Can’t wait for all the charitable and non-judgmental comments from Christians about Shayne’s tattoos.
This sounds like a judgmental statement.

I never understood why anyone would want to get tattoos. It just seems like a lot of unnecessary pain to put yourself through.
And it is pretty permanent!
Just mind your business! To each their own

Funny because I worked in the hospital and everyone is tattooed even our doctors 😂 I know attorneys with tattoos and everyone today is employable .
But all these were abolished in the new Covenant; however, the tattoo was not abolished!@@jayt672
I personally do not want to get tattoos because I do not believe my body is purely mine. God gave me my body as a gift, and I am the caretaker of it.
