Love does not fail by aquadore

This was my very first tattoo taken on the 29th of April 2010, the very day I turned 18

I will soon build more to this tattoo to make it even longer and reach down on my hip.

Time spent: 6 hours

EDIT: For the record I do NOT recommend first timers to get such a huge and detailed tattoo. Especially not near the ribs. It was 6 hours of pure torture and hell. Never before have my mouth said so many curses. But all in all, it was pretty darn worth it <3

Beautiful tattoo by the way I love it

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)
[4] Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. [5] It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. [6] Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. [7] It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. This scripture is in every bible, it's not just catholic or Christian. I read it at my cousins wedding that is Mormon. It's in ever bible I've ever read and I've read a lot of different bibles NIV, NLT, KJ, NKJ NASB this is a scripture that is read a lot a weddings

Is this verse catholic or Christian? I just wanna know. I love the verse and the tatto too.

To be honest I have no idea. Since I am not personally a Christian myself (I just love this verse so much and I feel it speaks to me), to me the catholic-christians and the protestant-christians are just the same

Are there any difference in their books? O.O Thought it was just the way they chose to "understand" and live it that was the difference. But if I must guess it's probably looked upon as Chatolic, even though I did find the norwegian version of it in my baptism bible (which is protestant since my country is a protestant-christian country) phew.. Why cant we just have one big happy religion?

always been a fave quote of mine, absolutely love the design you have for it.

aquadore Featured By Owner Jun 24, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

Aww thank you very much!
Even though I'm not religous or anything that bibleverse just screamed out to me and I knew as soon as I saw it that I HAD to make that my very first tattoo!
I planned it for over a year and changed the design a dozen times, and I'm glad I did because the outcome was so perfect for me I couldn't ask for anything else. Really looking forward 'til it's 100% finished
