I have also heard that they symbolize murders that they committed.  And personally, I owuld never trust a person like that, especially if they have no remorse at all for their crime, or worse, try to twist it that they are the "victim" because they actually got punished for it.

Woo hoo!!  A Jesus and tattoo question, all in one! And it's not even my birthday!  I love this question, Yes in Leviticus it says what the make no marks of the dead or tattoo any marks on your body.  But that's not what it says, the original word in Hebrew that is commonly translated as tattoo is not exactly tattoo, the word is "to put", So in the original Hebrew it says you shall not make cuttings in your flesh or put on marks of the dead, what is a mark of the dead that He is speaking of here?  The demonic ritual cutting and marking of the gods of all the other nations that the Israelites were living around.  \n\nIsaiah 49:16 the Lord says behold I have inscribed your name upon the palms of my hand, and the meaning in Hebrew for the word translated as inscribed is "to cut out or engrave", God was speaking of a common practice to engrave or make marks on hands of things to remember.  \nGod also speaks of earings and nose piercing as ornaments of beauty in Song of Solomon and Ezekiel 16.\nIn Revelation 19 it says that on Jesus' thigh is written a name that no one knows, cool huh!?\nBut, tattoos done out of anger or rebellion, as well as done in demonic or obscene matters(666, pentagrams, pornography)that is sacrilegious.\nAllelujah and Amen.

They don't bother me. Seeing them on women makes me... ummm, temporarily lose control of my snese.\n\nThe funny thing is they used to be a sign of rebellion. No so many people have 'em it seems like NOT having one is rebellious.\n\nI've tried temporaries once or twice, but have never found anything I'd want emblazoned on my skin forever.... well, maybe the Bat Shield.\n\nGuaranteed: In about 30-40years tattoo removal will be THE big business. I just can't imagine senior citizen homes filled with folks sportin' wrinkly tats!

It is the same as Munchhausen (as in the desire to seek attention from harming oneself) except that the sufferer harms others to get the attention.  Beverly Allit suffered from this (a nurse in the UK) and ended up killing babies and children.....she is now in prison.

hmm..... im getting that you dont cut from this, but whatever. Anyways, fist i have to say that some of the above comments are just prejuidice (seriosly, no offense =>) cause cutting is most often not for attention. People cut for different reasons, to relieve stress, distract themselves, keep them from commiting suicide, to make them feel some sort of emotion, etc... Also, when a person cuts an endorphine is realeased from the brain because the pain triggers it. Also, this feeling can become addictive like a drug, but the person becomes used to it and has to go farther and farther to get the same feeling. Now, cutting words doesnt nesscarily 'work' better, it doesnt realease more endorphines or anything. The cutter is using that as a way to show how they are feeling, not nesscarily to anyone though. Its just a way of expressing thier pain, like they might cut fat if they feel they are overweight. It can also be a way of taking out anger, seeing what upsets them in thier skin and stuff. But please understand, the people that do cut dont often do it for attention, and if they do do it for attention then they need just as much help if they are willing to do that. But please be sympathetic if you know anyone that hurts themselves, it can be a cry for help and the last thing they would need would be a person who attacks them, if that makes any sense. I hope some of this makes sense to you, if you have anymore questions emial me or something.

This past saturday I went to the opening of Gas Chamber Ink which is Shannon Moore's tattoo shop and met him. He's really nice and I got to talk to him and he showed me his tattoos. He has:\n\n1.) a skull and cross bones on the left side of his neck\n2.) a dragon and some designs going down his left arm \n3.) 2 * B * ME across his stomach\n4.) something inside his bottom lip (couldn't tell wat though)\n5.) Skull close to his friend\n6.) japanese art on the inside of his left forearm\n7.) designs on the right side of his neck and going down his arm\n\nnot sure of Jeffs or the rest of Shannons but thats what I saw and you can go to his site to see pics of it and some pics of them in the sources spot and on his page if you check out his pictures you'll see good photos of them in the MISC folder and THS SCREENCAPS. Hope that helped some, sorry I couldn't help about Jeff's.\n\nwww.theshannonmoore.com

I think Nelly was doing it to remind himself about his brother in jail who had a scar in his face.\n\nI quote a comedian: "They shouldn't be putting the bandage on their face, but across their buttcheeks to remember those in prison."

I have the Wiccan rede and a pentagram tattooed on my back.  I get double the negativity because 1) it's a pentagram!!!!  Oooooo!!!!!  Keep the children away from that girl! and 2) she has tattoos!!!  Oooooo!!!!!  She must be a tramp!!!!  But you see a man with a cross tattooed on his arm or a piece of scripture and isn't he devout?\n\nYes.  I am VERY tired of it.

I heard a quote once on this subject.  "A man that does not cry, has no soul".   I knew a vicious murderer that I met in jail, that admitted that he cries sometimes.  It has nothing to do with being weak or not.

James has several tattoos: playing cards and flames with the words "Carpe Diem Baby" on his left arm, a reminder of his pyro accident in 1992; a second tattoo on his right arm featuring a car exhaust pipe and the words "Live To Win, Dare To Fail", and another tattoo on his chest which features praying hands and the names of his 3 children\n\nThe following is a question asked by "Tangerine Magazine". Their link is the second one.\nQ. So the cross tattoo just where your shirt opens, that is more a metal symbol then a religious symbol?\nA. Well I like symbolism. I’ve always loved symbolism. I came up with the damn logo, you know, that ninja star, I’ve always loved the association with things, and this represents a family. You know, I don’t know, there’s something about. I’ve always. You know if I wasn’t playing music I’d be doing, you know graphic design or something. And I get to do both which is awesome, and so... Symbolism is pretty big for me, and the cross for me represents balance and connection with a higher power, and you know, it can mean many things for everybody else, but tattoo wise I have St. Michael, which to me, that’s pretty huge. Facing your demons and I love those stories. I love some of the religious stories because whether they are real or not they are awesome inspiring stories.

I can not say why all people get tattoos all over their body, I can just say why I do.  Its a matter of owning my body to its fullest.  Every inch I can control what color, pattern, shape is on it.  I am a very intelligent, upper class white American.  I do not hang with others who have as many tattoos as me, I go to church every Sunday.  I am a wonderful mother, I do not have low self esteem, I have great self confidence, and I do not crave attention.  American culture is changing..it is no longer just the rebel, convict, or biker gang member.  It is the mom next door; when i am in a full business suit not one tattoo shows (that's if my hair is down).  So don't be so quick to judge, you do not know all you are judging.

They are sideburns.  I used to think they were scars or tattoos but now i know that they are just sideburns.

Damien has it but I'll elaborate a bit. It specifically refers to the "thin blue line" (the police) which separates us (the public) from them (the criminals). It's basically supposed to demarcate the protective barrier between the criminals and their victims.\n\nMy only problem with this colourful depiction is this: What happens when the police behave in criminal fashion against members of the public? Who protects us then, eh?

My tattoo is a scar from my past. It represents the importance of that time and the symbolism it still holds. I have it to remind me of who I am. I dont need it , I like it. My tattoo is of a dragonfly. It reminds me of growing up around fresh water creeks as a child and watching these amazingly beautiful pilots whizzing across the surface of the water. I had it put on at a time of intense transition from adolescence to adulthood. Dragonfly's also symbolize change. As I grow older its a lovely guage of time, and I love that it will be with me when I die one day, another change in my life.

Oh honey, how could a nice, intelligent, humorous girl like you have been so dumb?  Tattoos, like diamonds, are forever.\nBreak all the mirrors in your house and cut the tattooist to pieces with the shards.
