I’m pretty sure no one has to worry about West getting anywhere near the Presidency.

The tattoo artist is wearing a t-shirt which reads, “Hail, Sagan”. geez. I guess it’s a drawing of Carl Sagan....OR, maybe it’s satan and just a typo on the t-shirt. “No Ragrats” :)

The Bible specifically prohibits such graffiti on the human body.
Where can I find that? Thanks. |
I think its next to the "Thou shall not get a haircut " commandment.
In other words - Its a non binding law that did not pass on to Christians today.
That said - Tattoos ALWAYS detract credibility from a person. But Col. West has no future aspirations, so let him have his fun.

At least he is not white.
I don’t like tattoos in general but they look much better on darker skinned people. On white people they look disgusting.

I respect him, his views, and for the good he has done (and continues to do).
However, I would have rather he not have done this.
It reminds me of when a really wholesome, good-looking girl I knew got a tattoo. All she could tell me to justify it was that “everyone was doing it” and that “it was a small one on just her ankle.”
Regardless, I knew that signaled she was flirting with being “not so wholesome.”

Must admit that it is more manly than just a simple “Mother” tat.

He needs to take out the turncoat Rubio in 2016, tat or no tat.
To: beelzepug
Tattoos were traditionally patterns, not logos or words.
I don’t like them anyway unless they are culturally appropriate like on Polynesians and Maoris.
But they look much better on darker skinned people than white people IMO

Unfortunately, this was a move in the wrong direction.

One example:
Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD (Leviticus 19:28).

“could you just imagine Obama crying his way thru getting a tattoo representing something he believed in?”
I can picture him getting a tramp stamp.

He’s a warrior. Warriors sometimes mark their bodies. I’m not particularly concerned as it’s concealable for business.
