my body’s a temple, i’m just painting the walls.

but to put it to you, do you drink, smoke, consume caffiene, eat undercooked meats and eggs, MSGs, transfats, high calorie foods, foods high in saturated fats, hig in sugar, high in cholesterol, do you spend too much time in the sun, goto tanning salons- do you put yourself into contact with any of these substances, do you let your body become out of shape by not properly excersizing it..etc.

in other words, are you defiling your temple?

and, still no answer to my last question?

please note, that i’m not trying to attack you, i’m trying to point out that- at least as it seems to me- picking and choosing which parts of the bible to hold as a standard, and which to ignore.
personally, i believe that part of the new covenant was the isuuance of two specific commands (love God with everything; love they neighbor). all else was secondary.

LOL!

Considering most are either mentally ill or suffering from senile dementia OR criminally insane....

Such a tat wouldn’t do a lick of good.

Might as well have one that says “Tastes like chicken!”

This is one that my studio did to cover abdominal scars. I think it's pretty.

"I think it's pretty."

I agree, but suspect it's probably a matter of the canvas being the glory of the paint ;-)

where have you been?

Very, very busy. I should not have taken the time out to post on this thread, I'm so backed up with work.

I wish I could invent a safe, inexpensive way to remove tatoos.

In 10-20 years that market will be extremely ripe. Especially for those women that just wanted to be "cool."

"When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself."

Behavior doesn't just "happen". It comes from decisions, conscious and unconscious, and tells the world about a person. So if I see a man with a chicken on his head, I can indeed judge his decision to do so without defining myself as anything other than an observant human being.

Your opinion is just that, your opinion. And your opinions are like some passengers who believe that if you'll just "talk enough," the bus will finally go where YOU want it to. No dice. I just called out "my stop." ;-D

Actually, some opinions are more reliable than others. It depends what you base that opinion upon. If they are based upon nothing more than feelings, wishful thinking, and limited anecdotal evidence gathered in a provincial environment such as academia or the arts community, then they tend to be wispy and ephemeral. These are the kind of opinions one hears from adolescents of all ages.

If they are based upon facts, history, a keen understanding of human nature and broad life experience, they tend to be more solid and enduring. These are the kind of opinions one tends to hear from mature individuals.

When I was young, my opinions were like the former, and I thought my parents and other mature individuals were narrow-minded and old-fashioned. After years of honestly comparing opinion to reality, I have come to see their "opinions" borne out more often than not.

Fair or not, certain signs provide first impressions. Often they are reversed when you get to know someone. The first impression sign displayed by tattoos (particularly on a female) is not a positive one.
