“Tattoos are also banned in the Bible. God hates them.”
Old testament only.
“Tatoos other than those that are emblems of military service are the indelible mark of the lowlife.”
Really? My pastor has several....are you saying I should find a new church?
Tattoos are a monkey-see, monkey-do kind of thing.
Now that every actor in every TV show and movie has them, the monkeys have to have them too.
BTTT
Is this a Scandinavian thing or what ? The study last year that found lymphoma 2 x more likely with any tattoos regardless of size was Swedish research, now Denmark.
With me it was a religious thing to not get a tat or a body piercing.
God said don’t do it so I didn’t.................
Oh, it’s from The Who!
I knew there was something skillful and charming about that verse.
It’s my favorite Who album. I love the jingles in between the songs.
Sorry that 2024 research found a 21% increase in malignant lymphoma among those with tattoos, although overall risk is still very small (less than 2% IIRC).
They are hideous, IMO, especially on women, and I notice the female in the photo also has the disgusting ear “guaging.”
Military men with some small tattoos get a pass from me.
I had a friend who was Guamanian - therefore Polynesian. He had a tribe tattoo, clan tattoo & family tattoo. In his case it made sense.
He wasn’t some slug. He had his own business and a graduate degree in EE from the University of Texas.
“Tattoos are also banned in the Bible. God hates them.”
…of course! Gods gift is life including your skin. Most women I see with tats have beautiful skin otherwise. It’s especially gross when they get in their 50’s+.
Face and neck tattoos ate ugly. I saw a girl with a butterfly on her shoulder, and she was kinda cute
Reminds me of a woman who walked into my gym last week. I thought, “Very attractive.” Then she removed her sweatshirt, and tattoos covered her arms/torso/back.
Oh well... so much for being attractive.
Interesting passage:
Leviticus 19:26-29
"Do not eat any meat with the blood still in it. Do not practice divination or seek omens. Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard. Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD. Do not degrade your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the land will turn to prostitution and be filled with wickedness."
Somehow, I got thru 4 years in the Marines without getting a tattoo.
Practically all of my buddies did..........

Same here. 6 years in the Navy and zero tattoos.
Some of us just don’t buy into fads as doing what everyone else is doing.
A tattoo is a permanent reminder of one’s temporary insanity.
Ditto
someone here told a story about working with a coroner who had a body he was investigating that was missing an arm. The coroner deduced that the missing arm had large tattoos by all the ink in the remaining right side lymph nodes
Yep, happens all the time it seems.
