As a Jew, I always found tattoos to be repulsive . . would never think of having one. Temporary tattos are okay as far as that goes.
On the other hand, if I see a Sailor or Marine who didn’t have one on his upper arm, I would be slightly disappointed. .
I didn't get a tattoo in The Marines, when all my buddies did. Never bothered me....................
I don't understand the attraction. As a christian, we try to honor most of the Jewish law...not quite sure how some (like tattoos) are taboo, but others (like pork...Sabbath) seem to be 'lesser'...
I had to talk my wife (now 40) out of getting one a couple years ago. She did a temporary one, and liked (most) of the reactions she got. Now, she can't believe she almost went thru with one...
