Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I really don't think tattoos are something that will place you directly in hell... If the tattoo is of something evil I would have something against it, but if the tatt was something like the Sacred Heart, I'd have no problem with it! Some denominations are very strict about the human body... It's the temple of the Holy Spirit and stuff like that... But if you want to "decorate", do it with Something that is nice and represents the faith! I wouldn't mind getting a tattoo, but I just don't want to do it! It's kinda like piercing, but... eh... not really... There was a discussion about this before somewheres... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StColette Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 First of all it's wrong for that person to condemn you to Hell the way that they did. If what that person thinks about tattoos that everyone who has one is going to hell then a large portion of the world would be going. Plus it's God's call not that guy's call to say who's going to Hell and who isn't. This topic was brought up in the Debate Table not too long ago. I say as long as the tattoo is not evil in nature or immoral, then it is perfectly fine. I mean look at some of the tattoos people have, memoralizing lost friends or family members. Other people got tattoos for the Firemen after 9/11 happened. And then of course many people have religious tattoos of Jesus, Mary, the Sacred Heart etc. most get these types of religious tattoos to remind them of their Faith and that they are never alone for God is always with them. So I again see no problem with tattoos if it is a reminder of something, like changing from past ways or memoralizing someone or showing a symbol of your faith.
