Is it ok for a man to put a tatoo on his body from his halfsister ?

I think it's kind of weird really.  That's his flesh and blood.  Maybe I could see it if she had died or something  (god forbid) but if she's still alive it seems weird.  Just carry a pic or something.  No permanent gesture is in order, IMO.

One tatoo is very rarely enough! It is like eating peanuts-- then some day - YOU WILL BE SORRY!    Removal by Lasar is very very expensive - and it HURTS more than the tatooing.

it's not that which goes into the body that defiles a man.\n\nLev 19:28  Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I [am] the LORD. \n\nnational geographic did a study on this and believe that this was the act of people cutting themselves and rumbing dirt in it to make scares.  they were doing this for the dead.  they would also ink so that it would leave tattoo marks for the dead.  the verses before and after refer to worship of anything else other than God and so therefore i assume that is what this verse is refering to also.  just like when it says do not trim the corners of your beard.  what some of the pagans were doing is trimming their hair and beards a certain way to try to harness power from the stars (wierd i know).\n\nif i read correctly Jesus told people to follow the law in a non legalistic way.  so follow the spirit of the law which is worshiping God alone.   i don't think it's what you do but why you do it.  God will judge the heart right\n\nwe are to be good stuarts of the things we have including our health so don't eat to much candy.

not too much, ink is water and pigment. the water will be harmless, so if you figure out what exactly the pigment in your ink is, you can look up its dangers, but normally ink pigment should be OK\nAfter all tatooing it getting pigment deposited into the dermis layer of your skin. And tatooed persons don't die early...so look up inks for tatooing as well.

If you believe that a certain group has a monopoly on Christ, you might as well get that tattoo on your head. Anybody, anywhere, that accepts Jesus, whether he be straight or gay, Democrat or Repubican, abortionist or otherwise is called to the wedding feast.

As long as it is legal it is fine! Don't listen to what close minded people say. However, you both need to talk about this. I don't think anything is wrong with it, but make sure he is OK with it. I wish I had some better advice, but I think as long as the two of you think it is OK, and it is legal, then that is all that matters. Good luck to you two!! :)

I would go to the tattoo studio and talk to whoever will be doing the tattoo.  If s/he doesn't take you seriously, find a different artist.  Your artist should be willing to sit down and discuss this with you before you get a tattoo.  They should be aware of conditions where people should not get tattoos.  \nDepending on your condition (I'm aware that with both syndromes you can experience a variety of wide ranging characteristics), I would think it would be OK.  If your doctors were vague and no one was explict that you shouldn't get a tattoo, go ahead with it but talk to your tattooist about your condition, chances are he's seen all kinds people, probably some with some serious conditions.\nCongratulations on your daughter!

I don;t think it is illegal, but, to be on the safe side, don't let a child in a tatoo shop.

so you mean retracting the skin?. \n\nif thats what you meant, Yea your supposed to, I mean not everyones retracts on its own. Some people have longer foreskins than others so Again everyones body is structured / designed differently. If you have a short foreskin I dont think it would be an issue.

In general, I don't see what the problem would be. But it depends upon what you what to get a tatoo of.\nTo be on the safe side, go and talk to your minister or someone who could help you out on this issue.

Why not just ask him if he is circumcised or not? I don't believe he'll be offended unless you say it looks like a triangle.

I thought about getting a tattoo with my dads name on it after he passed away, but I was still scared at the time, but I would definitely tattoo my parents names on my body. Also I think I would tattoo my spouses because to me when you say "I Do" that is it, its til death do us part- I take it very seriously. I think that is the ultimate way to say "this for real, this is for life".

The Old Testament law commanded the Israelites, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:28). So, even though believers today are not under the Old Testament law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:15), the fact that there was a command against tattoos should cause us to question. The New Testament does not say anything about whether a believer should or should not get a tattoo.\n\n \n\nIn relation to tattoos and body piercings, a good test is to determine whether we can honestly, in good conscience, ask God to bless and use the particular activity for His own good purposes. "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31). The Bible does not command against tattoos or body piercings, but it also does not give us any reason to believe God would have us get tattoos or body piercings.\n\n \n\nAnother issue to consider is modesty. The Bible instructs us to dress modestly (1 Timothy 2:9). One aspect of dressing modestly is making sure everything that should be covered by clothing is adequately covered. However, the essential meaning of modesty is not drawing attention to yourself. People who dress modestly dress in such a way that they do not draw attention to themselves. Tattoos and body piercings most definitely draw attention. In this sense, tattoos and body piercings are not modest.\n\n \n\nAn important Scriptural principle on issues that the Bible does not specifically address is that if there is room for doubt as to whether it pleases God, then it is best to not engage in that activity. "For whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23). We need to remember that our bodies, as well as our souls, have been redeemed and belong to God. Although 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 does not directly apply to tattoos or body piercings, it does give us a principle, "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." This great truth should have a real bearing on what we do and where we go with our bodies. If our bodies belong to God, we should make sure we have His clear "permission" before we "mark it up" with tattoos or body piercings.
