ok, first, im 75 years old and when i give blood they still have to filter the ink out. along with pastoring churches and serving as a salvation army officer i was 3 years in the army, 5 years in the air force, and shipped merchant marine for a few years. i was young and tattoos were a kind of cultural norm in all those worlds. if tattoos are a sin, i suspect that they are way down on the list of sins. the great objection to tattoos (from my point of view) is that in 30 or 40 years the pretty butterfly turns into an inkblot. if you want pictures, either use the henna thing or some other removable marker. with a tattoo, today you will be the cute girl with the butterfly on her neck. in 15 years people will look and say "the mole on that woman's neck looks terrible, i wonder if it's skin cancer?"
