But ultimately, I would think this falls into the Romans 14 category. It something I wouldn't do, and would discourage others not to do, but I'm not going to judge someone over it or break fellowship over it. I've got to answer to God for my own decision, I'll let everyone who claims to be a Christian stand before God for themselves. Its not my job to judge another mans servant. HOWEVER, if I'm teaching/preaching on it, I'm am teaching against it based on biblical prinicples.

Follow up....

I know we're not under the Law, but I don't think everything in the old Testament is completely irrelevant. I still believe there are good princiles in the law, but I believe that the law as a means to attain righteousness is done away with in Christ.....hope that clarifies

Come on, Jason....the verse before the tattoo verse in Leviticus says, "Do not trim off the hair on your temples or clip the edges of your beards." Do you shave, Jason? Do you trim your hair? Jasonnnnnnnn.......come on.

And the Romans 6 passage can be used to condemn anything one doesn't like. I think if one is going to "preach/teach" against it based on biblical principles, one is going to have a very tough row to hoe with the unchurched. I think they're gonna see through that in a second.
