I have to post this.....lol. Check this out. It is a picture of tattoo's that Derek Webb of the band Caedmon's Call has on his arm........the 5 Sola's. He is a Calvinist (one of the few Calvinists in Christian music unfortunately) and it shows in the CD 40 Acres; he wrote the songs for that album in many cases. The song Thankful is VERY Calvinist and is almost shockingly obviously so. Anyway, check this out...lol:

I apologize if I have offended any of your sensibilities; I just got a huge kick out of the tattoos. Now THAT is dedication to Reformed theology!!!

Tatoos. Ugh.
Hopefully, this isn't the future of Calvinism. I don't know that tattooing is a terribly grave sin but I doubt that God smiles on permanently staining our flesh with slogans.
Turning his flesh into a Reformation billboard doesn't obviously benefit either him or Reformation principle.

Maybe this should tell you something in general about CCM.
But then, I only really like the old hymns. And a little Chopin.

Michael Medved calls tattoos the "triumph of shortsightedness", but I guess if you're going to get one it might as well be about eternal things! :-)
Speaking of Calvinists in the music industry, there is a group called Royal Ruckus. To my knowledge, they are the only hip-hop group with a link to the Westminster Confession of Faith on their web-site! Look under "Christianity 101"
