If Christ/God is important to you . . . you might track down the Scriptural references on it.
God’s perspective seems to be that He feels He made you quite nice as you came from the womb . . . and deplores mangling the temple He wants to inhabit.
But I don’t recall the refs or the keywords. Maybe someone else hereon will.
Do you get hair cuts, or shave? Do you have pierced ears? Are ear piercings "mangling the temple" as you put it? How about cutting my toenails? Did Jesus instruct me to let them grow out?
Thanks Qx for the ping. I seem to recall reading in the OT somewhere that tatoos are forbidden by God, but don’t have the exact ref handy. Am under the weather now so hopefully later will feel up to finding said ref.
