It is confession time. I have a tatoo. I wouldn't recommend it, because it is kinda permanent. However, I think if the people in this youth group want to demonize the tatooed they need to check themselves. In the book of Leviticus is talks about not getting a tatoo, but the reasons were because for the people of the time it was a participation in demonic worship. It certainly is not applicable to our cultures understanding of the TAT.

Having said that, I still would advice people not to get one. We are temples of the Holy Spirit and should treat our bodies with respect and dignity.

Peace.
