Anastasia is on a distinguished road
I think nothing less of those who pierce and tatoo themselves, but I personally would not do it. Mainly because I think after a certain age, unless it is a symbol that is perhaps religious in nature, it seems very cheesy. I know a girl my age who got a tattoo of a butterfly on her back. How will that look when she is a 70 year old grandmother?

Bottom line. If I decide to get a tattoo it will be because I want one, not because it is discouraged or encouraged by any religious system.

And look at the trouble they got us into.


They repented in the end. That's what counts.

I am sure there are literally millions of Christian people who have tattoos from head to toe. I see no problem with it.

Likely as not, what you heard was that the Orthodox do in fact forbid tattoos, under threat of not being buried in line with tradition.

What you misunderstood was that they were talking about Orthodox Jews, not Orthodox Christians.
