I love my tattoos and piercings! Its such a false belief that everyone who gets them is trying to be "different".
how about people who get them just like tattoos and piercings? were not stupid enough to think that most people dont have one or the other.
and i have to wonder how many of you have your ears pierced? Ears are okay right?
i mean, if the lord doesnt like em on your face he probobly wont like em in your ears either, right? Or does he think its prettier there than anywhere else? Heaven knows ive seen many a god-fearing woman with some nice pretty ear candy to match her church hat. (<this is not patronizing, i really love seeing people in their fancy church clothes). I just think its awfully convenient that piercings are OKAY as long as theyre in a pretty spot.
What about other religions? alot of religions and cultures require their followers to have crazy tattoos and piercings. To me its beautiful and a wonderful representation of where that person comes from, and i feel the same way with people who believe in the bible and choose not to have them.
and as far as it being hazardous to health and "judgement".
come on dude. seriously. we could go on for DAYS about the crap people do that is way more dangerous and unhealthy. like eating cheeseburgers. My dad got hepetitis from eating a cheeseburger once. true story.
Legaly getting a tattoo or piercing is no different from getting a shot at the doctor. needles are to be new and opened in front of client. I think your argument is completely invalid, as i have never had a piercing done with a "gun".
I totally understand why people would be against it for religious reasons or just not liking them, and i think most opinions here are valid... but the lack of sound judgement thing totally blows my mind. getting a tattoo or a piercing is not like being a drug addict. Nor does it mean a person has terrible judgement. Im sure there are plenty of drunk drivers out there who dont have tattoos. I dont drink.
