“I think you should take religion as more of a guideline instead of just rules saying this is how you should live”

THIS is the heart of his problem. He wants to come across as religious but he has tailored his observance of his religion to fit his own wants. Personally I don't like to see tattoos on anyone. That being said, only son will graduate the USNA this coming spring and will be going Marines. He has said he may get a tattoo of the Marine symbol with his blood type below. He's as Conservative as you can be so what am I to do??

OK I am compiling the list of the tattooed Freepers.

let me know when you come up with a graphic.

I'll set up the list later today on my about page so all of the tattooed people have access if they see a thread.

Is he Jewish? The only thing you can do is express your disapproval in a convincing way. Then it is hands off.

Nope. An observant Christian. I just think tattooing is more acceptable these days. My dad was very upset when I had my ears pierced. His generation only connected pierced ears to gypsies. Only son is over 21 and has made his own decisions since his Senior year in high school commitment to the USNA. His choice.

I vote for a two part sign, with a sarcastic “Trailer Park, Grill and Biker Bar” portion at the top, and a small “Tattoo” sign below it.

Thanks.

If someone is starving, they should be damn glad to get it. Anyone who would rather starve than violate a dietary law is no more intelligent than a muzzie.

If you'd like to be on this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

If you're going to ignore the law and get a tatoo fine, but it's a bit disingenuous to pretend it's not clear.

As often as these tatoo threads come up, and reference Leviticus 19:28, I am puzzled that there are not threads devoted to 19:19 “Nor shall a garment of mixed linen and wool come upon you. “

Tatoos really seem to get some folks fired up, while wool blends not so much, and yet, there they are, given equal emphasis in chap 19.

Perhaps the Jewish proscription of tattoos stems, at least in part, from the medical fact that tattooing, until not long ago, was associated with a risk of contracting hepatitis and other infections.

A couple of decades ago, my then girlfriend was of uncommon beauty. I’d just gotten a memorial tattoo which she couldn’t get her head around. Although she was not observant, her Jewish mother had instilled in her the belief that her body was to be unmarked. She was the only girl I’d met who’d never had her ears pierced. Back then, it seemed like every girl automatically got her ears pierced when they hit middle-school. Now, it seems like half the kids in my daughter’s kindergarten class have their ears pierced. As a 40-something dad, I’m just well on my way to being perpetually uncool...

Tattooed Freepers...if we ever get a band going, I think we know the name! I’d write more, but being the ho and convict that I surely must be to have one, I must have a corner to stand on or a car to jack....
