Would that be considered a tattoo?

If it is a decal then no, but permanent then yes.

Which is cool

Not that I agree with tattooing, but this scripture is always taken out of context. It is speaking of cutting and marking for the dead as the pagans had done.

Lev. 19:28 "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD."

Tattoos seem to be just another form of outward adorning...along the lines of permanent makeup.

I guess if you are an avid makeup supporter, you would be an avid tatoo advocate.

I am not....but I do think there is something kinda cool, that folks have to live their entire life with a decision they made at some earlier time.

The permanance of consequence involved for those who choose to "adorn their body" by injecting permanent ink under their skin, can provide an EXCELLENT, enduring, spiritual witness for the person who may be given to impulsive decision-making or self-glorification.

That Eagle on the chest of a strapping nineteen year old doesn't look as majestic at 80, huh? LOL!

The message translation (paraphrase) says don't tattoo your body, but it is still talking about literal cutting.

Right.

On the tattoo issue. My BIL's brother had his girlfriend's picture tattooed on his back in High School. He is now married to another woman.

I'm glad my SIL never got into that!

They couldn't prove that that is the reason I didn't hire them.

I don't think that in anyway it is adorning so much as it is decorating it for your own pleasure. Not talking out both side of my mouth either. Think that we are too take care of our bodies no matter what. I know some that eat vegan cause they think that is the way it is to be done. I know some that don't. Not sure that God even cares about tattoos. Church people care. But for a strict adorning thing lots can be adorning. Fixing ones hair, getting a tan, losing a tan, etc. Ink or tattoos though they seem permanent they aren't so people can remove their regrets. It is like a outpatient surgical repentance. ha

They could if the video recorded your facial expression when you first saw them.
