Seeking advice from nairaland of all places? He should still wait before getting married. This one is not ready to be the head of a home

You can't bame him. Some men are sacred of an unhappy Union. But you may not notice it cos men hide most emotions. They try to separate it from their daily activities.

Maybe he just want to make front page, just for fun. Or trying to get opinion to conclude on final decision.

.....I mean character wise and others..

Have you at any time asked her the reason for the tattoo? For how long has she been wearing long sleeve before you got to know?
I personally hate tattoos and most times, the symbol stands for something.
Seems you answered your own question in your writeup anyway. The ball is in your court.

Let me answer you...
Those tribe believe in tribal Mark has part of their culture.
The Ops is talking about tattoo not tribal mark

There is really nothing wrong with a lady having tatts, people should stop judging people by how they appear..in my office we dress how we like as far as you can be productive everyday you come to work...My boss is a lady and she has tatts, she is happily married and did the tatts after she got married. Tatts is fashion thing which anyone can have (male or female)...bros if she is a good girl and you feel a spark between you too..marry her..Marry am

Please NL,pardon my grammatical construction due to the fact i was an engineering student as it may not meet upto standard to the level of the professors of English we have here....

There's this lady am currently in a relationship with and Sincerely she's really the type of girl we guys are always hoping to come across.... I have come to love her buh only for me to notice she has à tattoo on her arm...And sincerely there's this societal perception about tattoo that speaks of Waywardness and irresponsible lifestyle..... buh on the contrary... this babe is just so different that am just confused.....I have come across girls who appear so so bad and even sleep at the club buh are still virgin while some girls who claim to be responsible and decent are upgraded and modified Oloshos....
Please help a brother, I don't wanna make a mistake based on the general assumption on what people would say

OP, you're not ready for marriage if you've concerned yourself about public perception and gossip. If you do marry, your marriage will be between you and your spouse and no one else. A tattoo does not determine a person's character or lack thereof. Please let this woman go so she can find someone who will appreciate her inside and out.

PearlStreet:


She has been hiding her tattoos from you by wearing long sleeves.

Guess what? She's also hiding her real character from you.

Exactly, I'm sure she won't have told OP if OP didn't find out.

Armstrong34:
....pls bro put ursef in my shoes o....I never knew she has such....she has been wearing long sleeves o.....it never occurred to me that she has tattoo

Tattoos can be bad bt cud also be innocent depends on sm factors like.. where she grew up, wat type of tattoo, why she got it and just basic questions like dat. I will need to ask those questions to ascertain her background and how responsible she is. If ure a good judge of character u will know or interpret the exact situation.

I kind of still think like you too, but it depends.

I don't see myself ever getting a tattoo, but I don't judge it so harshly anymore.

Tats are ornamental, and women are like flowers.

They just want to adorn themselves in stuff to "accentuate"/express their beauty.

Sometimes, those could be tats or jewellery or whatever.

Before Christianity and the current social order, women used to get tattoos too. My maternal grandma, for example, had them. And she was a damn fine woman.

So, for me, if a woman doesn't turn her body into some sort of Sistine chapel, but just has a few expressive art on her body. I don't really judge so harshly.

The one that riles me up is nose piercings (septum) - the middle ones!

If its tribal mark, I'll go for it but
If its tattoo, definitely No for me

Tattoo is actually not bad, but......

1. Most of d young nigerian ladies with tattoo are ashawo/olosho.

2. Most of d older Nigerian ladies with tattoo are retired olosho.

So wat am i trying to deduce?. Simple....

The interpretation of possession of tattoo is relative from clime to clime. As in...

1. If a white/black American lady possesses tattoo, there is every possibility that it's merely for fashion and nothing else.

BUT

2. If a Nigerian girl/Woman possess it, there's every possibility that she's an ashawo or a retired ashawo. Infact, such ladies are even aware that it's a trademark for their trade, hence, they flaunt it by default.

So,

... If u see any Nigerian lady with tattoo, she is 90% sure to be bad or to av been bad. Hence, d ball is in ur court. Don't come and tell us stories that touch later. U av been enlightened.

Look well, its a tattoo not tribal mark, go and read the origins of tattoo, they all have meanings, most people tattoo their star sign on them, some tattoo the names of their loved ones,

Can you take a breadth and read what man of god said about beautifying yourself from the way creator made you....

PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE OF RCCG SPEAKS ON MAKE-UP, JEWELLERY, WIGS & BLEACHED HAIR.
Below are the details of what he said:
The elders have a say, "if children of the same mother enters into a room to talk and come out smiling, they have not told each other the truth." Alright, so in the next 3 minutes, you might not be smiling as I am going to tell you the truth, because am your daddy. Strictly speaking I have searched the scripture, there is nowhere that I have found where it is written, if you wear make-up, you will go to hell or you will not make it to heaven, I can’t find it in the Bible. It is not to be found anywhere at all, but I have done my own research.
There are two places in the whole Bible where references were made to painting of face, only two places, and the two places are bad. One of the places talked about Jezebel. How many of you will name your daughter Jezebel? 2 Kings 9:30, the day Jezebel was going to die, she did make up properly, painted her face, dented her face with jewelries, but at the end of the day, dog ate her.
The second place is in Jeremiah 4:29-30 where God was speaking in anger to daughters of Zion, He says, "when I make up my mind to deal with you, you can paint your face as you like, it is not going to deliver you." Read it, you have your Bible to read. Those are the only two places I found, and they are terrible references.
Now as far as am concerned, it is up to you to decide how you want to look, you want to make up, you want to paint yourself, you are at liberty.
If for any reason whatsoever God decides not to allow you to enter heaven, sorry o!!!
The point I'm making is this, nobody ever add sugar to honey. Have you seen anybody adding sugar to honey? Anytime you see a piece of furniture that is painted, wooden furniture that is painted, the wood is inferior. When the wood is ebony, nobody paints it, no no no. I think children of God should realise they are precious enough, by the special grace of God and by the shed blood of Jesus Christ. They are honey, they don’t need sugar.
Some people go about in the name of fashion wearing wigs. I'm not being judgemental at all. This is not law, there is no where in the Bible which says if you wear wigs, you can't make it to heaven. But this hair that you are wearing, from whose head was it cut? Do you know who was the original owner of the hair? Do you know what kind of anointing is in that hair? It is put in the most important part of your body, the head!!! "Thou anointed my head." Things are so bad now that some ladies comes for ordination with wigs on. I always asked them, which one do you want me to anoint, the wig or the head? I told you, you will not smile by the time I finished. I have not been legalistic, I have not said thou shall not wear wig. I'm only talking to my daughters, my own children.
I read something in the book of Revelation 7:1-3. Some angels were sent from heaven to deal with the inhabitants of the world, after the rapture, the Bible says, "I heard the Almighty God said, before you begin to deal with people, let me mark them, let me seal them on their forehead, so that we know those that the bullet should not hit."
What we wear matters. Why do you think the army wear uniforms? It is so that they will not accidentally shoot their own members. Can God recognize you at a glance, that is, as a child of God? Some people say it does not matter, and that what is inside is what is important, I agree with the last part, but what is inside will show outside. it will show on the outside, it will show, don’t let anybody deceive you.
When I became General Overseer, I brought a group of teachers to come and teach in the Bible College and they began to teach series of things I did not bargain for. They were teaching that God is not interested in the outside, He is interested in the inside, this man (the G. O.) is legalistic, he is too strict. So I went to Oyingbo market to buy two oranges, one ripe and the other green all over. My Bible students were beginning to turn to rebels and God gave me wisdom, so I stood before the class and I said, which of this oranges will you take if I ask you to pick one? They all pointed at the yellow and ripe one, and I said why? They said because that one is going to be the sweeter one. How do you know when you have not seen the inside? They all said what is inside the orange portrays and shows what is reflecting outside. An orange is sweet from the appearance because its inside is sweet and vice versa to unripe oranges....
It was at this point His passed the real message to his people and the Holy Spirit gave them change of heart afterwards.
People of God, God cannot be mocked, you cannot begin to tell people that God only dwells in the heart of man, seeks the heart alone and not the facial appearance, It is A LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL !!! ...
You cannot sit on the fence, it either you are cold or hot... Say no to FASHION OF HELL ... Why not be and remain the way God created you? Why are you adding to what God has created? In other words, you are telling God that, "God ooh, see you are senseless to have created me this way I am, I am going to recreate myself back with make ups." (God forbid).
May you not be an enemy of God. Amen. "Let your dressing be in modest apparell, not of painting of face or using of gold ,necklaces or earrings, but of pure heart , shamefacedness and modesty."
Have you considered Jezebel in the Bible? She was a perfect example of the usage of all these things, and she made all these things of demonic value. May you not be among her descendants in Jesus mighty name. Let your watchword be ''WORLDLINESS FORBIDDEN." Instead of the world copying good things from us (believers), we the believers are the one copying bad things from the world! Very shameful and pathetic!
Remember, "friendliness with the world equals to enmity with God.
Beware of the end time vices and change your ways now!pls send it to all Ladies and women
*A Generation of Young Christians:*
_1. We are always right and we never *accept correction*. A corrector is seen as an enemy._
*2.* We love to sing in Church, but *do not read our Bible* at home.
*3.* We are full of *lust, sensuality and emotions* and we call it love.
*4.* We want to have wonderful marriages, but by the time we are 25 years we've already spent almost ten years in relationships. Sometimes, we may have had *more* boy lovers and girl lovers than even our parents.
*5.* Sexual activities are *now part of our relationships* calling it romance.
*6.* We want to be rich in life, meanwhile, we *spend all our finances on the latest ipads, iphone, laptops, cameras, smartphones, etc,* which in many cases we uses less than 30% of their functions.
*7.* We do not pay our *tithes and offerings* claiming we are students.
*8.* We say we are Christian men & women but *dress like Hollywood/Nollywood stars* and we call it fashion.
*9.* We love *pleasures* rather than God.
*10.* In Church you will see us with our hands lifted up singing slow songs which we call worship but *on our phones in our pockets,* you will see pics of naked and half naked women, hip hop, Antichrist, etc and we have a nice way of justifying it.
*11.* We are hardly convicted when we go to Church because *our hearts have been hardened* by the deceitfulness of sin and pride.
But God foresaw these and warned us in 2 Timothy 3 That *In the last days men and women will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.*
We need to change our ways, we have *no excuse on judgement day.* You can share if you want to. But I know you wouldn't because is not funny. Share Jesus today to save [truncated by WhatsApp]
