Nothing projects a strong professional image quite like sleeve tattoos...especially on women/sarc.
40% of Millenials ....
That's all anyone needs.
Does the Bible say anyting about “monkey see, monkey do?”
Witness Sucked, nobody got tats of them.
Easy to get into trouble on this one. But for international mission opportunities, there are many cultures that still consider a tattoo to be a religious expression, not decorative.
Your skin is an organ not a blank canvas.
Some call them Tattoos I call them scars.
I’ve never understood the urge of some people to mutilate their body with tattoos. They are universally disgusting. And living here in Reno now, occasionally visiting Las Vegas, I see quite a number of older people with tattoos. Scary. If my kids or a friend wanted to get a tattoo, just walking a few blocks downtown will cure them of it quickly.
No tats on me. I think it’s all about what you’re expressing, what attitude you’re projecting.
Besides being extraordinarily tacky and attention craving, tattoos express a form of rebellion. The worst form of rebellion because they are permanent marring of God’s temple.
I remember reading the following saying a few years back: “A tattoo is a permanent expression of a temporary feeling.”
I got a monarch butterfly on my back shoulder this summer. I got it in honor and remembrance of my mother. The morning she died the monarchs were so thick you you could barely see to drive.
I think God will understand.
Unless the tattoo is indicative of military service, it is almost always the indelible mark of the lowlife.
These days, males wear earrings and females get tattoos. Used to be the other way around.
Tattoos on a woman. Just what I want, a girlfriend or wife who reminds me of a truck driver.
While I think the command was given to Israel and Israel only, I do think it’s indicative of the preference of the Lord.
Getting a tattoo in my opinion is like drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa. And how would that artist feel about it?
God made humans beautiful (for the most part). If you take care of your body, you tend to stay beautiful. Tattoo’s almost always take away from God’s artwork. They don’t enhance it.
And don’t even get me going on nose rings. Who thinks something hanging out of your nostril is attractive?
This is another “Stupid Human Fad” like streaking or LA Highway Shootings or pants below your butt or millenials atttraction to socialism.
If you’re looking for Book, Chapter, Verse on getting/not getting a tattoo, then forget it.
If you’re a mature Christian who does NOT want to identify with the world, or portray themselves as a thug or criminal type, you do not get a tatt.
Sharp rise in tattoos corresponds to Sharp decline in Christianity. Young tattooed parents pushing baby strollers are first truly post Christian generation.
I’m not even Christian (I’m Jewish) and I can’t stand how we’ve gone from older, more religious Christians, criticizing the commerciality of Christmas decades ago, to Young, cynical agnostics, openly embracing the idea of Christmas as nothing more than a shopping and party holiday...... winter solstice and nothing more.
Tattoos show that you are the property of Satan.
