I don’t know if it is “sinful” or not to get a tattoo. I do know that there seems to be this ongoing penchant in the church that complete assimilation into our culture is somehow a good thing. Yet, Christians are called to holiness. Holiness is what? Being separate from those who do not follow their Savior.

I will carefully add that I do not understand this desire to provoke anger over a relatively trivial life issue. Does this person secretly desire a tattoo and this is her way of insulating herself from possible future criticism?

It bothers me that there are those who seem to dedicate to much interest in trying to get the Christians to conform to this world. They justify it as being a way that reaches out by not seeming odd to unbelievers. IMO, this denies the work and power of the Holy Spirit and seems to satisfy their desire to get as close to sin as possible without sinning.

Not helpful if salt loses its saltiness.

I think Ms. Meyer is trying too hard to be “cool”. She’s 74 years old! Her facelift was bad enough.
