I have been a JW for 20 years now but have not had much contact with my congregation in the last few years or so. Just recently I was demoted 4 days after I suffered a work related injury which laid me up for 3 months. During that time, I was offered a job that would utilize my artistic talents and help me to make a decent wage to care for my disabled husband and teenage daughter. The job that I was offered was tattoo artist. I took it, started tattoing, and I love it. I haven't been visited by the elders as of yet but I have noticed a few from the hall have snubbed me upon knowing what I have been up to. I also had a sister visit me recently giving me an employement update of what jobs are available in the area. I know that she means well but I told her I would make more doing this than the other jobs that are out there. How long will it take before I get DF'd for taking on this job?
My new occupation...

If a JW nurse is now permitted to give a blood transfusion to a worldly person, why wouldn't a JW artist be allowed to do tattoos? But, I suppose they will ride your tail for it and use it against you. It's the nature of the beast. Especially, since you need this job. They will want you to sacrifice you and your family's well-being for the Borg.
