There are two Shiloh's here! Had me confused for a moment!

But let's face it, if you get tatooed up and down your arms and around your neck, I would say you can pretty much count on not getting a job as a CPA or a lawyer. I would say you can bet on there being a mop in your future.

Hey, what's wrong with pushin' a mop? Better than pushin' drugs! (I'm just givin' you a hard time . . . forgive?)

You have a point! These things CAN be overdone! All things in moderation?

Yes, at a time like this when jobs are scarce,pushing a mop is indeed a respectable position.

NOT a snake ... I am terrified of them... mine is a six foot long dragon that breaths real fire

Seriously though in a few years time there are going to be a LOT of wrinkly old folk who will have tatoos that look like a horror film in amongst all the wrinkles

:24:

Don't forget all the piercings too. Gravity having its effect and things wrinkling . . . ugh!

Sounds like the start of a zombie movie!

Is it true that the bright colors in a tattoo always eventually turn dull green?

I had some distant cousins that had tatoos and while they did fade when they got older, they didn't turn green..... well unless it was after we burried them anyways.

Here is an idea of what will happen ...

real pictures just weren't right for this site.

The colors will fade a bit over time and if someone tans or is in the sun a lot they will fade but not green. All my uncles had navy or some army tats most were all faded cuz they were on their fore arms.

I have two tats I forget they are there all the time they don't mean a thing to me except that they are there, I do think that most assign meaning to theirs and that I think could be wrong. Its what things we assign to them although I don't really think that getting a tat for God one of the better things we can do I am not completely sure its wrong. The verses talking about not getting tats is that people did so for false gods and I think something about the dead also. In the end like everything else we will have to make an account of all the things we have done and it will be Him who will judge out motives.

Leviticus 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

I personally believe that getting a tattoo is a sin, based on this scripture. This point has been argued back and forth between those that believe it shows tattoos are sinful and those who say this only applies to those who get them as part of a pagan practice. I believe the current tattoo epidemic is demonically inspired. Most of the time, a person will wind up getting numerous pictures all over their body. It becomes almost an obsession. I also believe they do defile your body, as they are permanently changing your God given appearance into something ugly.

Law

[Matthitjah]

Grace to you,

1Co 8:9

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours becomes a stumbling block to them that are weak.

Then there's this;

Ga 5:13

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

I would like to add that someone at the beginning of this thread said something akin to, "To each his own." That can be translated as something similar to, "If it feels good do it," IMO.

I'm wondering how that translates Biblically and if that is a Biblical thought process. Can that line of thought be justified Biblically?

Peace,

Dave

I completely agree with Butero...and I also think we have to consider the type of people who run these tatoo parlours...they are usually druugies, potheads, and big drinkers. They don't usually live clean lives....so why would any Christian want anything to do with that???? It says in the Bible to be careful who lays hands on you, and I really souldn't want any of these types of people laying hands on me to perform any procedure.

There is alot more than meets the sye when looking at getting tattoed....and I don't see any Christian inspired tatoo parlours out there...do you?

I'm not into taking riskls with my obediance to God...and I am quite sure that if you took the time to pray about it and really ask the Lord, the answer wouldn't be yes....
