To tattoo or not tattoo, that is the question.................
Tattoos are a really good idea.
They give the monkey-see/monkey-do crowd a means of self-identifying so normal people can avoid them.
Maybe the collective desire of more and more people to get tattoos is a subconscious mourning for the death of Western Civilization.
I always took that verse to be referring to making marks by cutting yourself, not tattoos. I don’t like tattoos, but I never thought of them as forbidden.
Tattoos are definitely the mark of low class self-mutilation. Trashy.
Seems more an embrace of the impending barbarianism.
nothing worse than seeing a pretty girl with a tattoo. Instant turn off.
Tats used to be found only on military, bikers and criminals.
Now they are on teenagers...................

If God wanted us to be able to camouflage standing in front of a wall of graffiti, we would have been born that way.
IMO, if God commanded it for Israel, unless there is a specific reason, it’s probably a preference God has, that could logically be extended to everyone. The dietary kosher laws had a specific reason to separate Israel from other nations. Tattoos...don’t know.
But if our bodies are temples of God and God designed them, I think we need to think twice before permanently altering them. I hardly ever see a tattoo without thinking, that person would look better without that.
And then of course the effects of aging, dolphins turning into killer whales, unicorns with age spots, mermaids with wrinkles, etc.
All tattoos should be temporary so you can play find the tattoo more than once.
Exodus Chapter 21 1 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them. 2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. 3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. 4 If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself. 5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: 6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
Yep
I appreciate the crazy/unstable marking themselves for easy reference.
And no not every tattooed person is that, but appealling to common sense, I know it when I see it.
To wit, the photo accompanying the story blurb above, is an example of crazy.
Ye shall not suffer to be marked as a slave, but rather as free men and women of God.

My tribe’s sneaker god Nikadidas can beat your tribe’s music god Autotoneloc.
Perhaps tattoos are visible and indelible expressions of the profound impressions that idols have made on one’s heart.
That’s my reason for having a disgust of tattoos.
They generally belong to low class people of questionable values who cannot be trusted. Like criminals and scumwads.
That picture upthread is creepy.
