Are tattoos sinful?

My sister sent me this video, so rather than continue with Genesis, I'm gonna be lazy and post it. I'm knee-deep in a book right now, and I want to finish it, not blog. I mostly agree. What do you guys think of tattoos?

  1. He makes the critical point that context is everything. I think that as long as you are not putting tattoos of lewd, heinous, or otherwise disgusting things on your body (and, of course, where those tattoos reside) then you are OK.

    I choose not to have a tattoo, but I don't think that because my Dad got a tattoo of "MOM" on his shoulder when he was in the Army he is damned. Having said that, I think that one should think long and hard about altering their body. Once done, it can never truly be undone.

    Finally, I don't think minors should be allowed to get tattoos with or without parental consent. I think you need to be an adult in the eyes of the law before committing to such a thing.

    Interesting topic. I never collated ear piercing and tattoos. Made me think.

    1. Yeah. I agree with the guy that it's a wisdom question. Do you want that on your body? I agree with you that the tattoo itself can show the heart state (whether it's lewd or crass or arrogant).
