I just received an email from a church elder exhorting us to read what Lev 19:28 has to say about tattoos, and encouraging us to forward it to our friends so that the Word of God may be relevant in our lives. Lev 19:28 - "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD."
Of course, Lev 19:27 says this - "Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard." I've seen an interesting book in some bookshops entitled "One year of living Biblically" - the guy ended up with a remarkably hirsute face.
I trust this reflects my opinions about tattoos.
This is one of my pet peeves.
