The last photo that you call "Irish Prayer" is actually a prayer from a movie.......you may have heard of it. Boondock Saints
i'm not religious, but these are amazing tattoos.
The tattoo above that is supposed to mean Son Of God in Hebrew is:
??? ?? ??????
and Arabic is:
??? ????
I am a Christian and I have wanted to get a tattoo but then I read the verse right after the one that you mentioned and it's about not making your daughter a prostitute, and that same chapter talks about not sleeping with family members and animals. Since when do we get to decide what parts of the Bible to believe in and what not to believe in? You either believe in it in entirely ot not at all, because being a lukewarm believer is an abomination to God.
It was kind of amusing when our pastor got a tattoo, and showed it to the church.
I am not all that legalistic, but I do try to look at the core reason behind the various lawa adn try to apply the principles. Based on the scripture you stated above, I am ... concerned ... about what I've heard called "memorial tattoos" ....
As far as tattoos in general, Paul said he would be all things to all people so that he could relate the gospel. All things, for the Christian are lawful, but not all things are beneficial ... which makes a lot of it personal choice.
As for me peronally, the idea of gazillions of needles piercing my skin and injecting ink just doesnt' seem like a good plan for me, even if the bible had nothing to say about it.
That having been said, many are beautiful in their own right.
i want a design of a chinese tatto, the big budha
but only in B\W abstract or full black..
but it must not be real pictures... thnx
I have many tattoos, not religious ones (well there is a yin-yang as part of one) as I am not a religious person, but I do think I can still make an objective comment on the issue. First I would like to say that some of those tattoos are amazing. I do totally agree with the point the person who wrote the article seemed to try to make and think that the world would be pretty strange if we followed a 2000 year old book to the letter! Back then slavery was acceptable etc. and the world was a very different place. If I wrote a the greatest ever book on how to get the most out of a computer, it would be really useful, but what about in 5 or 10 years, maybe it would still have its uses, but what about 50 or 100 years, maybe it could make a good door stop! I am not saying religion is like computing, but the point is the same, things change, people who are not royal wear purple, people have tattoos, but if they are good people, then surely that should be ok?
PS for the person looking for buddha pics, just go to google and search for
buddha tattoo flash
you should find plenty, tattoo flash is the tattoo worlds equivelent of clipart. No offence, but make sure you spell it right, I understood you, but Google might not.
Wtf ? My tattoo on the internet?! .. ( only god can judge me ) .. where do they get this picture from ?
Wow that phoneix rising is beautiful =]
