I am not quite sure of the bible's opinion on tattooes, but you should be more worried about the health aspects. Not only does it hurt, give you a skin rash, and bleed, but it can cause skin cancer. You'd let her throw her healthy life away to get a stupid picture etched into her skin?

quote: It's not in Leviticus.
Although I am sorry that I was ignorant to the 1 Corinthians versus about tattoos, I was not completely off in my thinking. Tattoos are mentioned in Leviticus! Lev. 19:28. So, ya, some vindication for me...

I apologize, I was confused about a different issue entirely... But, ya, I guess since it is in the New Testament then, I would tell your sister that if she gets a tattoo that she can't ever condemn homosexuality or anything else that allegedly is a sin in the New Testament... That's what I would say to my sister, if she was thinking of getting a tattoo (but my sister is as anti-homosexuality as many other 'christians' are...).

Not to mention how painful it would be......i mean the neck is very sensitive....it would be awful to have a million needles jutting into it... plus then when urr like 80 years old your grandchildren will wonder what the heck you were on as a teenager.
I think its cool to get maybe just a small tat like above sleev line or under clothing

yeah that sounds like it would take a while

A friend of mine plans to get vines tracing up his right arm from the fingertips to the neck. I saw some pictures of what it is going to look like, and it is pretty amazing. It is going to cost him a fortune though, and very time-consuming.
I like these calm little moments before the storm.

Yeah, I plan on getting one more after this one; I don't know what yet, but I'm still getting it. Just as long as it's nonthing too low on my arm.

The passage is in Leviticus, but it is completely irrelevant because if you are going to follow one law in Leviticus, you have to follow all of them (not shaving, not wearing clothes woven of two fabrics, can't eat pork, etc. just some crazy, stupid laws).

Well from the churche's point of view tattoos are viewed as self mutalation but then so are earrings and the like and in the old testament almost everyone woman described has a pair of earrings so the church is pretty hypocritical on this point as to myself I want three but two depend on me getting in to the marines or not. the one I'll get any way is Psalm 27 I think on my leg (the psalm with "though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...etc" the ohers are an Eagle, Globe and Anchor(see avatar) on my right shoulder and finally on my torso to say the right a "meat tag" with all my dog tag info on it for I.D. purposes just in case.

Okay, I see nonthing wrong with tattoo's, I have three(2 on my left arm, and one on my right)I was raised in church...I know where it says in the bible that marking the body is wrong and everything, but I see nonthing wrong with it. It also says not to pierce the body or something along those lines, but people do that too.

Well, personally, I believe that it's defacing sacred material (ie the body that has most generously been given us). However, if you don't believe in God and all that, that belief don't go too far, do it? (Bad grammar purposeful) So, for me, I believe it's wrong. But not everyone believes that.
