okay then…i see we all disagree, and I still stand by not getting a tatoo… but if you do…at least get a tatoo that isn’t offensive or profane…and if you get one of a cross or something like that…don’t be a hypocrite by being a bad Christian or whatever…same with necklaces too. If your going to wear a cross or any Catholic or Christian symbol - be a Christian while doing it. And when I’m wearing my cross necklace - it’s a reminder to me of how I should act and who I belong to. it’s not like I never sin or do anything wrong with it on, but I definitely try not to. It’s disrespectful to wear a cross and not even try to follow God.

I just think tatoos arent right because your body is a temple - or however that one phrase goes. You should take care and respect your body because God gave it to you, and tatoos don’t do that. Even if the tatoo is a cross, you shouldn’t have to tatoo a cross on your body to tell everyone you love God and your a Christian, you should already do that by your actions.

Yes, your body is a temple, and every temple I’ve ever seen has been decorated.

As for the use of money, most of us spend money on frivilous things at times. That’s not necessarily a sin. Personally, I would never get a tattoo and would rather spend the money on something else. But I wouldn’t call it a sin to get one.

Really good recap, here, Joe 5859.

Let’s start a new thread:
Who thinks tattoos are UGLY?
:rotfl:
 
Now, if tattoos are not a sin,
then what is a mom to say to her kids?

As a former protestant, I’ve already used the verse from Levitical law. That one doesn’t hold water for me anymore. :mad:

Now this becomes a place of “pick your battles.” I would rather my child got a tattoo than took up smoking or drugs. I would rather find a tattoo or a piercing than have my child committing sins of impurity.

Heck, I’d rather my child got a tattoo if he’d just keep his room clean!
:rolleyes:

I suppose if my son or daughter comes to me about getting a tattoo, I’ll say, sure. When I say you’re old enough, and I get to pick the guy who does it and approve the subject matter and location.

Sort of takes the rebellion out of getting a tatt when Mom says yes.

If you really want to freak out your kid, offer to get a matching tattoo. Then threaten to show it to all his/her friends.

Or maybe I could do an internet search and find dozens of pictures of senior citizens with faded, misshapen tattoos on their saggy old skin? 😛
 
Well to answer the question from my point of view, I believe that it isnt a sin. If the tattoo was a bad intention then yes of course. I dont have any tattoos at the moment, but I plan to get one in the next few months. Its going to be a Treble and Bass clef cause Im a musician. I will be a musician for the rest of my life, and I will have the tattoo for the rest of my life. Music will forever be stuck with me. As for the body piercings, If body piercing was a sin, then a whole bunch of girls, ladies, women, and some men are sinning…Including myself…and I had no choice cause my mom pierced my ears when I was an infant…

Thank you, God bless all of you
