Ok, those might be sexual, but be real - if you've got a tattoo on your rump and someone is seeing it, it is probably because............. well, you know!

I think they are most often just a way of young people saying, "Look at me. I'm independent. I'm doing something that the older generation will not like". Good grief! We all did things like that when we were younger. In my days, getting your ears pierced (with ONE hole!) made that same kind of statement. So we all did it. It's part of the separation phase that all human beings go through.

Randy you are RIGHT and Marg is WRRRRRRONG PERIOD!
tattoos are a sex statis as well as used for gang affiliation, prisoners a good for that and we have so called holy ghost filled people who are fine with this

I find it interesting that someone who is so firmly planted inside the church feels like he knows so much about what those outside of the church are thinking, doing and why. Where did you get all your experience?

you don't have had to lived your life wallowing in sin to know what's up Marg. my father was in Prison ministry for 32 years and could tell you some stuff he heard and saw from prisoners that I could not share here. did he have to be a prisoner himself in order to be educated ?
