I'm really divided on this. I'd like to have a tattoo--I want a Rosary on the upper back of my left shoulder. My wife, as I type this, is off to the parlor to get one. We talked about it (and darn it, I should've posted this before she went ) but we both feel that it isn't a sin as we are no longer under the law. She's getting a pretty little dragonfly.
I know about Leviticus 19:28. Old Law. Christ recinds the Old Law against eating certain foods in Matthew 15:10-11. But we also know the Old Law isn't null and void because we are to keep God's Commandments (The Big Ten). And now to take on 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. Our body is a temple for the Holy Spirit. I think taken in context, St. Paul is warning against sexual immorality with your body.
I dunno...having a religious tattoo just seems almost witnessing in a sense as you're not ashamed to show your faith. But, alas, I beg for input from the wise cyber-minds that frequent One Bread, One Body.
