Pontifex Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 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. Fr. Pontifex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
