I understand that the early church did not believe in self glory via appearance.

The question here is whether tattoo's are self glorification. The answer is no more than fixing your hair nice for Sunday night service is. Actually, it is probably less being that everyone can't see your tattoo, whereas your hair is fixed for everyone to see.

I guess technically the question was about earrings, lol. This is kind of a branch off of that question, I reckon. lol.

Have you seen tattoos lately? hidden? Also since when does something hidden from others limit how a person can feel pride and everything else in life about such?
