Tattoos, sin against God or church cuture?

[bishoph]

In reality many tats today ARE in worship of some other God even when the wearer may not realize it. Also, I think the origins the modern day tat craze in most cases were the "bad boy" look/rebel etc.....that is not something a child of God should want to portray.

Lastly, while it may not be a scripture, I think a principle is certainly to be found in the following example. If you were to come home and find someone spraying graffiti on your house/car etc....you would probably be real mad/upset ( I know I would....and they better hope they can out run me....cause if I caught em, I'd probably put a woopin on em before the cops got there....just joking.....sort of)

But why would you get upset? Because they had marked up something that you had bought and invested in. Our bodies are a temple of the Holy Ghost and we are NOT our OWN we have been bought with a price......so IMHO when we tat up our bodies it is similar to putting graffiti on God's property.
