Why Fans Are Asking If Jill Duggar Dillard Broke Another Family Rule

Jill Duggar Dillard posted an image to Instagram that showed her hand holding a mug of coffee in front of a roaring, albeit fake, fire with the caption: "My hubby had the faux fireplace going this morning & he made me coffee too." Perhaps the most notable thing about the photo is what looks, at least at first glance, like a hand tattoo. However, although it's unclear whether the Psalm 16:8 bible phrase "I shall not be shaken" is written in temporary or permanent ink, it's most definitely not a tattoo.  

That didn't stop numerous people from speculating about it, though. "Love the new tattoo," wrote one, while another enthused, "I love your tattoo! Where is they [sic] from?" However, one commenter did point out: "I think it's just writing in a Sharpie pen. Jill often writes out a scripture for the day on her hand." It's certainly not the first time she's experimented with body art, though. 

In 2017, Jill shared a photo of a henna design, also on her hand (via In Touch Weekly). Then, in 2021, she posted another bible verse written on her hand. And, when a fan predicted she might someday make it permanent, the former reality star responded: "Possibly ... have to decide which one, where and build up courage ... might take me awhile. lol." As shocking as it may seem, a surprising number of the Duggars have tattoos
