And the only reason I disagree with them is because they are pure supposition and interpretation.
ALL the tattoo books say this? I doubt that.
Either way, I can support the fact that tattoos have had a stigma associated with the in our culture over the years, usually connecting them to motorcycle riders, rebellion, etc. But, at one point, beards and mustaches were a sign of rebellion. So, times change.
To make the argument "I can't believe Christians are considering tattoos" is not a logical argument, in my opinon.

My statement wasn't an arguement but a statement. Somethings are not even arguable such as shooting heroin, smoking dope, pierced breast etc.....
Now go swim some laps!
