Mine are a graphic presentaion of facets of my being - it's a REAL labelDruidus said:Do you think tattoos are bad? Should they only be used for aesthetic reasons, or only for spiritual reasons?
The first tats I got where in my late 50's. Twenty years from now, the wrinklies and fat rolls may well hide them but I'll always love them - they are MESunstone said:I've seen some beautiful tattoos. I sometimes wonder, however, whether a tattoo we get when we're 17 will still appeal to us when we're 37.
lol. Let me tell you what happened when I told my mom about my tattoo:Ceridwen018 said:I've made up my mind. When I turn 18, I am getting one. That way, whenever my mom pisses me off, I can touch it and find comfort in the fact that I have committed the ultimate naughty act in her eyes.
As far as not wanting it when I'm older....#1, I'm going to get it on my lower back, so i won't have to look at it if I don't want to, and #2, it will remind me of my youth. One thing that I never want to become is a stuffy old grown-up.
I'm very sorry if we gave you the impression other points of view weren't welcome, Alien_Youth! It's just that the threads you originally posted in were in the sections of the forum dedicated to learning about other religions, not debate. In the debate section it's pretty much a free-for-all, so long as there's no bashing of members or other religions.Alien_Youth said:p.s. (for the christians on this forum) the bible also says that you should defile the temple (your body) therefore satanic tattoos or things that are immoral are discouraged by christian beliefs (not trying to be preachy here this is only for those that read the bible and follow it's teachings very closely) I apologize in advance if I offend any of the other religions represented in this wonderful forum by saying this.
