While tattoos are becoming increasingly common, many people still dislike them. For tattoo lovers, a tattoo is a chance to express your ideas, personality and thoughts. When you go to a tattoo artist, you can end up with an intricate, detailed piece of art on your body.

People around the world use tattoos to express their ideas and their relationships. Some people use tattoos to commemorate a special moment in their life or the death of a loved one. Mothers and daughters use matching tattoos to show their close bond with each other. Some newlyweds even use tattooed rings instead of traditional rings to cement their vows permanently.

One Unusual Tattoo Has a Special Story Behind It

Michelle Torino-Barcelos was eating dinner with her husband in San Angelo, Texas. They often went to McAlister's Deli after church, so they did not expect anything unusual to happen. On this particular Sunday, Michelle noticed someone nearby with an unusual tattoo. The tattoo had a cross with the words, “Together we serve.”

The unusual tattoo made Michelle curious about the story behind the words. She told her husband to check out the tattoo. While they waited for their food to arrive, Michelle debated the meaning. The tattoo could mean that we as a people serve God, but it could also be more specific and reflect that the man and his wife serve God together.

A few minutes later, Michelle's curiosity was answered. A woman sat down next to the man with the exact same tattoo on her left arm. The tattoos may have been the first thing that caught her attention, but Michelle was stunned by what they did next.

An Amazing, Shared Moment Together

Once the woman sat down, the couple bowed their heads and began to pray. Michelle was surprised by the sweet, adorable moment. The tattoos were interesting enough, but the loving prayer really warmed her heart.

Together, the couple held hands and prayed over their food. Michelle could not believe her eyes. In the modern era, many Christians feel uncomfortable praying in public. Unlike everyone else, this couple was completely comfortable to say a prayer and profess their faith to the world.

For Michelle, the couple was truly inspiring. When they were done praying, she felt like she needed to go over and talk to them. Michelle told her husband that she wanted to meet the couple after they finished eating.

Michelle just wanted to tell the couple how inspired she was by seeing their tattoos and public prayer. When she started talking to them, she learned more than she had ever expected.

Michelle introduced herself and told the couple about how much she loved their tattoos. It turned out that the man and woman had gotten married just a few months ago. They had met in the United States Army and still served together.

Michele was completely amazed. The couple served God and their country as a couple. In a world where divorces are increasingly common, this couple's commitment to each other, their country and their God inspired her.

At first, the couple was surprised by the impact that they had on Michelle. Then, they asked if they could pray for her and her husband. Michelle happily accepted their offer. It was the first time that strangers had ever prayed for Michelle before.

Together, the four people bowed their hands in the small deli. They held hands as the couple prayed for Michelle and her husband. They prayed for God to bless the couple and allow their love to prosper. For Michelle, it was a truly amazing moment.

Now, she prays for the couple from the cafe and asks God to protect them while they serve their country. Since Michelle originally posted the story on Facebook, more than 25,000 people have shared the story with their friends.

Brighten everyone's day by telling them about this remarkable couple's faith, strength and courage.
