I was raised in a church environment that was not friendly toward the idea of tattoos. I remember one guy had one on his arm back in the '70's. Maybe he made it dance or something when I was a kid. I moved away and went back to visit at that church as an adult. I saw him and got to talking. I saw his tattoo and said I remember that. He said he'd always regretted getting that. He was young and in the navy. When I was a kid, tattoos were the domain of servicemen and motorcycle gang members, at least stereotypically. And of course primitive tribesmen in certain parts of the world got them.
In the Old Testament, there is a commandment against getting markings for the dead on your body. Yes, it's the law, written to Israel, etc. But shouldn't we consider that there is some wisdom there? I spent some time in Hawaii and there is a local custom of getting a tattoo when after a close relative dies. I think it's a remnant of Polynesian heritage. The tattoos may be your typical modern tattoo. But it sounds to be in line with the forbidden practice of Leviticus-- getting markings for the dead. The concept never appealed to me.
Aesthetically, also, I just don't get it. When I was younger, rarely did a woman get a tattoo and if she did, it was something small. Back when I was looking for a wife, if a woman had a tattoo, that was a major turn-off. Nowadays, there are women with lots of tattoos all over on TV. Does even the coolest tattoo compare to human skin? It's a work of art by the Creator.
This is also really risky because it's something you do to yourself that you could regret later that can affect your appearance for life-- especially if it doesn't look like you'd hoped-- that you can't really get rid of. If you get rid of it, then you have white laser scars.
Anyway, that's my tattoo rant. I do not suspect many people on this thread will agree with me.
