I have always been pretty set in my thoughts on Christians and tattoos. I thought NO WAY!!! I myself have a few tats but they were done before I had a relationship with Christ or pre-salvation.
Well I watched this video today by Pastor Craig Groeschel, of http://www.lifechurch.tv/ and it has me thinking about my stance.
I am not saying that I am thinking of running out and getting a tattoo, I am just prayerfully reconsidering how I might counsel others when I am asked in the future.
Take a look at this video and let me know what you think....
Personally, I think whether you decide to get a tattoo or not is between you and Father. If someone asks me whether or not they should get one, I'd say the same, and that's not to be deep. I'd rather someone get one because they really wanted it, the not get one because they are scared what others might think. To me, that would be more idolatrous then not getting one at all. And I agree with the contextual argument put forth in the video. I don't know about getting a tattoo for the sake of conversation, unless you feel Father wants to send you into the motorcycle ministry, where tats are like a facebook profile or a personal billboard.
