Is Catholicism opposed to tattoos?

[Joe_Brisebois]

Is there a rule or common practic for Catholic pertaining to tatoo’s? My thaught is if we are suposed to be living with the lord in our thoughts and actions always than why would we be submitting our selves to a wim or a desire that is not of him?

In Christ, Joe
