Tattoos aren't wrong, just an expression of who you are.
Are you saying that a tattoo of a cross on your body is the same as a tattoo of a pagan symbol?
Galatians 6:17 - From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
Interpret it how you want, I'm not necessarily saying that this passage is condoning tattoos, but obviously Paul has some marks (scars, injuries?) on his body from preaching the gospel. And what is a tattoo, but a scar, a symbol of events in our lives, or our personal beliefs?
I'm just saying that if someone goes out and gets a tattoo for the RIGHT reasons, I don't think they're going to be judged harshly by the Lord for having a tattoo.
PS. If you want to quote Leviticus, then at the very least take into account the CONTEXT that the laws were written in, and how we view the rest of the laws...
I'm sorry man, but if anybody is immature, it's you. You're so stereotypical.Tattoos are symptomatic of an immature personality, low self-esteem, poor judgment, a propensity toward sin, moral depravity, a rebellious disposition, and a basic lack of intelligence. It is not just a coincidence that tattoo parlors are typically found in the parts of town frequented by those persons who are the most severely entangled in multiple, life-controlling sins. And it is not just a coincidence that that those persons who are intelligent enough and mentally, psychologically, socially, and spiritually well enough to work in a well-paid profession buy their art from reputable art dealers located in the finest parts of the finest cities in world.

I just wanna make sure I get what you're saying though. You think that everybody that gets/has a tattoo is, and I quote you here, "an immature personality, low self-esteem, poor judgment, a propensity toward sin, moral depravity, a rebellious disposition, and a basic lack of intelligence.".....And it is not just a coincidence that that those persons who are intelligent enough and mentally, psychologically, socially, and spiritually well enough to work in a well-paid profession buy their art from reputable art dealers located in the finest parts of the finest cities in world."
So, what you're saying is that only people who buy $250,000 paintings and go to $500 cup wine tastings are the only intelligent, sophisticated types of people?
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. I graduated from high-school ranked 5th in my class and I was 16. My IQ is 161. I go to college at Florida State University and I'm about to transfer to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. So, since I have a tattoo and don't own a fine piece of art, that looks like one of my nephews could do better, that means I'm not sophisticated?!
If anybody in this thread isn't sophisticated, it would be you. And the only reason why I say that is because you're so stereotypical, and you have no concept of REAL life. So go on and have fun with your money. All it can buy is material things. It can't buy friends, love, or happiness.
Does that mean that you immediately dislike anyone that has a tattoo? Do you know anyone really good that has a tattoo? Your statement does NOT fit the description of the people I know that have tattoos.Tattoos are symptomatic of an immature personality, low self-esteem, poor judgment, a propensity toward sin, moral depravity, a rebellious disposition, and a basic lack of intelligence.

and I avoid people with tattoos with more zeal and gusto than I do the Black Plague of Europe. Why should I associate with gutter rats when I have more friends than I can count in the most elite social circles who are famous for their contributions to the fine arts and higher education?

My primary residence is much larger and grander, but for the sake of privacy I do not disclose the location of it to the general public.
Winston Churchill and F.D.R. both had tattoos. I would not consider them low class but that is just me. but that is just my humble peasant opinion.I have always lived in the best part of town, I have attended and graduated from only the very finest and most elite private schools and universities, I have attained to a very prestigious position in the top-rated (for academic excellence) university in the United States, and I avoid people with tattoos with more zeal and gusto than I do the Black Plague of Europe.

You are permanently scarring your body when you get a tattoo that is what they are. So, I would say Yes.Since the piercings thread is up and running, lets stick this one right next to it. I want to see what people think about tattoo's since I've seen what some have thought about piercings. Are tattoo's good or evil?
So you honestly expect us to believe your vacation home is a piece of American history?!I have always lived in the best part of town, I have attended and graduated from only the very finest and most elite private schools and universities, I have attained to a very prestigious position in the top-rated (for academic excellence) university in the United States, and I avoid people with tattoos with more zeal and gusto than I do the Black Plague of Europe.

You're dumber than I thought! I have a book on the Biltmore ESTATE right next to me. I figured you'd at least get the title right to your own "HOUSE"!
Nice try though. My uncle lives about 40 minutes from the Biltmore, so I've taken a tour, and can tell EVERYBODY that it isn't your house.
And if it is, you should remember my face, because I sat and talked with the real owner for about 45 minutes.
