Listener questions and comments:

  • Rose – About the woman and tattoos: Her husband could’ve been kinder. She should consider what he’s saying to her. On another scenario, he needs to have a conversation with her.
  • Frank – When it comes to privacy, there should be give and take in the relationship.
  • Tony – When it comes to privacy, I think there may be a past history of a wound in that marriage.
  • Tim – About tattoos: The husband knew when he married his wife that she had a thing for tattoos. She already had seven. It’s kind of on him unless they came to an agreement that he didn’t like tattoos.
  • Marcela – I don’t have tattoos, I don’t like them, and one of my co-workers saw that I have a divine mercy medal and he showed me on his arm his divine mercy tattoo on it and other arm had Our Lady of Guadalupe.
  • Robert – People get tattoos for different reasons and there can be a little evil with tattoos. The ink can be tainted.
  • Alex – Ink from tattoos is known to be associated with the demonic and sometimes there needs to be a prayer of deliverance.
  • Marcel – You want to be transparent, but there is a level of privacy too.
