Tattoos

[Caitlin.ann]

Why would I want to spoil this perfect body that God gave me with tatoos?

Good point.

 

[Amber the Duskbringer]

Why does getting a tattoo have to spoil it and why has noone answered the question about quoting OT when half of it is ignored? Why does this matter in NT?

 

[rockytopva]

I personally prefer a clean look.

 

[Amber the Duskbringer]

Which is fine but that johnny todd guy seems to be under the impression it's a sin. I am just wondering what the justification for it is.

 

[katautumn]

I'm glad when the day comes and I leave this earth God won't reject me from heaven because I have ink in my skin. And if my nostril piercing had healed properly, I'd still have it.

 

[rockytopva]

See that image above of me? There is a light and an energy that comes out because of that which is inside. When I get to heaven I will have 10x the light and the energy because God the Father will give it to me. I live and look forward to that day.

 

[Amber the Duskbringer]

Okay? That was a bit random even by my standards. So like are you saying that others don't have this light because they get tattoos?

 

[rockytopva]

I am just saying I don't need them.

 

[katautumn]

True, nobody needs a tattoo. We don't need haircuts, manicures, or nice clothes. We sometimes choose these things because we like them and they make us feel good about ourselves. Some people choose to get tattoos as a means of expression.

 

[Amber the Duskbringer]

I am just saying I don't need them.

Fair enough

 

[rockytopva]

I could not be a Christian and say that God does not forgive all sins. We are all sinners before his presence. Which is why it is important to have Jesus Christ with us at all time. I would say this about tattoos... And that is the ink stays there a long time. Take time to think and pray before getting one.

It'll be a fox paw print and a squirrel one over my heart. Really I have a spiritual affinity to foxes and my best friend aka ex her fursona was a squirrel and she left a imprint on my heart so its really a cheesy moment for me

So you're both furries?

I think the tattoo over your heart is really sweet.

Ya we are Yeah even though we arent together anymore I am still bestest friends with her

Aside from lacking tattoos what is the difference between yourself and any other Christian? Does God accept you more into His family than someone with tattoos? Do you have a more intimate relationship with the Father than someone who has tattoos?

Since I'm going in for tattoo number 11 in a month and a half, I have no problem with them at all.

I do think that people take tattooing too lightly sometimes; getting some trendy fad image that will be old-meme in a few weeks or months. It's their call, I guess, but each and every one of my tattoos has a deep and important personal meaning that represents some part of my life and who I am. From a memorial tattoo for my grandmother to homages to my heritage to little things of my personal experience, my tats are an outward visible expression of parts of me that aren't themselves visible.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm with you 100%.
