Ink



Roses are red, violets are blue, I thank the good Lord, I never got a tattoo. What in the world is the human desire to ink up their body. Truly I don't even like the fake kind. Is tattooing a choice or what a "friend" does to you when your wasted? But honestly when I was a teen in High School I did think on getting a "Tigger" (from Whinny the Poo) tattooed between my calf and heel (glad i didn't now) Why? because I could bounce. Never did I want barbed wire around my arm or a dragon on my back, a loves name or initials, or even an heart with mommy on it burned into my arm. Lev 19:28 makes it pretty clear "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD." Don't cut it in nor print it on. Ow well, maybe the need arises from the local trailer park and grows from their, who knows. Can you be a red neck without one? Who knows! Are they condemnable, No. I have many vets with their service branch on their arm faithfully in church today and God saved them. A tattoo on a arm in a service is only a testimony of a gracious and forgiving God. But being real, just go buy some paper and have the artist draw on it, carry it with you, show that off. Avoid the pain and the potential Aids threat from shared needles. Use your head for something besides a hat holder, wise up, save the loot and go buy something for yourself less permanent.

  2. I never had a desire for a tattoo, but I have wondered why you hear much about Lev. 19:28 but not the verse just prior to it.

    Just a thought.
