Hi, Karen, Thank you for your comments. I do not want to come across as projecting “disgust, superiority, and an all around negative to people who may be tattooed and wanting to come back to church.” I apologize for coming across that way. The term “tramp stamp” is not my personal term, rather the common societal term for a type of lower back tattoo that is popular among women. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower-back_tattoo. My reference of the term “tramp stamp” was not intended to pass judgment on women who already have them. In context of when this was said in the sermon, I was intending help young women who are considering getting one, to think twice. As a woman with a tattoo, you have an opportunity to help the younger women who are under great societal pressure to get tattoos. Your personal experiences can be a powerful tool in the lives of others and an invaluable help. You are needed and wanted in the church.
