This is what my left arm currently looks like. In about two weeks, I will be getting it tattooed. It will be a lower sleeve based on Ephesians 6. Ephesians 6 talks about the armor of God, so the tattoo will be a type of warrior with full armor with a background of smoke and cloud. I will be getting the work done at Dermagraphic Osmosis Tattoo Studio in Richmond, BC. The artist is Terry Mercer. This will be my first time at Osmosis, but I have heard very good things about the artists and the studio. Once I get it done (or a portion of it done), I will post a picture of it here.
Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV)
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."
