“It looks like there is not much hope for that one”
That female(?) person has plenty of other issues that obviously need to be addressed too.
And I almost had you till that low cattle guard and my nachos splattered all over the windshield!
(but you did dream of me??)
BWAAAAAA!
She was very determined!
I’m not tattooed. But the fact remains that the Catholic Church doesn’t (and never has, to my knowledge) condemn tattoos, unless they are so obscene and/or damaging that they fall under the more general prohibitions against compromising the dignity of the human person.
Hello.....they don’t need to come out....it’s IMPLIED in OUR TEACHINGS.....Your BODY is a TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT....DON’T DEFILE IT.
I get it, you don't fancy tattoos. But like it or not the Church doesn't condemn them.
This kinda bothers me.
I’m glad these people WHO CHOSE to alter their appearance get a “do over” courtesy of this Catholic charity (and the donation of the services of the doctors)...BUT...there is a small segment of society that also needs the help these types of lasers can bring.
A lot of people have facial/neck port wine stains that are lessened and many times permanently removed by the same types of pulse lasers. Insurance doesn’t cover these very expensive treatments, and those with the birthmarks have had no “choice” in their appearance.
I would hope some concessions would made to help as many as possible, not just the tatt crowd.
Every person who votes for leftists Democrats needs to be tattooed in the future to mark what they’ve done. I have solutions for all of this.
That female(?) person has plenty of other issues that obviously need to be addressed too.
Yes, that female (?) person has issues far more serious. Her tacs (that's what we called them in prison) are only symptoms of far greater problems. She looks like she is in deep trouble.
I was making a bad joke about a form of tattoo removal.
I know someone who had that done. They botched it, and the scarring was really bad--far worse imho than the port wine stain, which I really didn't notice after I had known her a while. She regretted getting the procedure.
I figure God made us the way He wanted us, so why tinker with that?.
Besides, as tattoos go, I never saw anything I wanted to wear that long.
If it is on the wall, and your tastes change, you can take it down and put something else up.
I have known guys who were in Special Forces who got a tat in case they met a sudden and destructive demise, just to help with identifying the remains, but I figure that is different.
Well the Church may not condemn tattoos but here’s a verse that does:
Leviticus 19:28 Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)
28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord.
Ceremonial Law of Israel. We are no longer bound by it, unless it coincides with moral law.
Same here. I have never seen anyone who looked better after getting a tattoo.
