Evangelizing Through Tattoos
Tattoos tell a story – for better or worse.
Jeff has discovered that these stories provide opportunity for spontaneous conversations, and when guided by the Holy Spirit, can lead to evangelization. In his own experience, Jeff has had amazing encounters influenced by God that all began with ink.
This example of self-expression is just one means of showing our inner-selves to others. There are many means of expression that we can use as opportunities to talk about God. As Jeff says in this episode, what is deep within a person is often times brought to the surface and displayed, and people have a way of talking about it.

I believe that, when I was being catechized by the good Felician nuns many years ago, I was told that the Church considered tattoos verboten as a desecration of the body.
