    If the Lord wanted tattoos on people they would have been born with them.

    Depends.

    There are at least two OT passages that perhaps deal with this, one is negative--Deut. 14:1--and one is positive--Is. 49:16.

    Of course, both of them are "subject to interpretation."

    Then you have the same injunctions people have noted in my "Smoking" thread such as abstaining from ALL appearances of evil in 1 Th. 5:22, and the "whatsoever's" In Phil. 4:8.

    Any deeper theological insights on this, I'll not make. That's up to the more eminently qualified BB theologians. :thumbsup:

    I don't see any problem with them. Just make sure if you want to get that cool Hebrew tattoo you check with a scholar as opposed to Google Translate.

    I always ask people what the purpose of getting the tattoo is? Are you glorifying God or self or someone/thing else?

    Isaiah 49:16 is not a positive statement concerning tattoos.

    One of my co-workers has a tattoo on the back of her neck. She tells me it is the Chinese symbol for strength. I told her it was the same symbol at the Chinese restaurant for Kung Pao chicken.

    She replied, "Really?" :laugh:

    If witchcraft should be translated medication/drugs, then I suppose tattoos would be wrong in and of themselves as well (in exclusion to a pagan use...i.e., marks for the dead). I don 't believe this, and probably you'll find the same lines being drawn here (if we are all consistent).

    I say amen to that. But at the same time, to each their own! I wouldn't do it, but there are many things I do, that you and others would never think of doing nor want to do!

    The only problem I have with them is

    1. How much money people pay to get them

    2. When tattoos are on people's faces.

    I've seen a tattoo of a rabbit where the belly button was....well....it was one of those tattoos I believe one would live to regret.
