Sucks if true but meh, not sure I buy it too.

As for haters, you like what you like. Be careful not to lose your witness. We all fall short and Jesus see’s all marks be it internally or externally. Put the stone down...

I have no desire for another tattoo but that is my conviction. Nothing sentimental on me either. Jesus Christ gave me new priorities with this new nature. Amen, amen.

It’s a tattoo.. nothing more, not the mark of the devil as some interpret.

The word “tattoo” does not appear anywhere in the Bible... it’s an interpretive choice, not a direct translation of a Hebrew word for tattoo.

Leviticus 19:28’s reference to “marks” (qa’aqa) is the closest candidate, likely addressing ritualistic or pagan body markings rather than modern tattoos. The verse’s context suggests a prohibition tied to specific ancient practices, not a universal ban.

Bottom line is interpretations are like statistics and polls, find one you like.
