God created us with a nice body and we should not have it painfully marked. I assume clergy would not be in favor of tattoos. Television has shown men and women with nearly all their bodies covered in tattoos and I think it looks terrible.
One woman on TV told how she got a tattoo when she was a youngster because of a dare. She later regretted it and needed $1,000 to have the tattoo removed.
Tattoo artists must have mountain top living while millions of children starve worldwide. Many professional athletes who have outlandish salaries also have tattoos.
In my own family of 100 relatives, I’m not aware of any of us having a tattoo.
Those of you who feel you must follow the crowd and get a tattoo, think first of the side effects and the money, which could be put to better use.
