Leviticus 19:28 "'Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD"
Yes...we know. Already been talked about. Do you have something to add about it? I think two verses before it says not to cut your hair or beard. I'd ask you for a pick of your long beard but my guess is that there are at least two reasons why you don't have one.
I had, actually still have, a shirt like that, with the almost same exact depiction of Jesus on the cross, it was in red color, and said His pain your gain.
I would wear it running marathons, figured it was a good way to get the lord in front and back of everyone, and also at the gym at times.

"Do not fashion yourself after the world."
"Your body is the temple of God."
The physical temple in the Old Testament represents the spiritual temple in the New Testament. Can you imagine it covered with graffiti? Especially since the details had to be exactly as God said.
I could imagine the person getting the tatoo having some good chats about Jesus with the one doing it
I don't have any tattoos myself but 2 years ago I saw a guy that had "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and the cross and verses of Romans 10:9-10 " on his arm and it looked great. I told him I liked it. It is a good witness to those that like tattoos that don't know the Lord yet.
If people do or do not get a tattoo - that is their business and their Lord's business. I'm not the Holy Spirit in their lives nor am I their judge either.

I'm not saying, "Go get a tattoo". I'm just pointing out that some people put the names of those they love on themselves as a tattoo. But... BUT! Our Lord loves us so much that He engraved us on His palm. How much more awesome is THIS love!? =)

Whew! Because I pluck my beard instead of clip it.
I have this one little hair that grows on the end of my nose....I keep plucking it but it keeps coming back....haha.

Yeah, sometimes (usually) this board is just about arguing and looking holy. Don't worry though. There are those of us who thought things like "Ouch! Engraving the palms of the hands has really got to hurt." And then followed that with, "And Jesus did that quite literally. Pierced all the way through -- bones and all -- really strong spikes too."
You're not going to get everyone to understand what you mean, but some of us do.
And then someone is bound to argue that too.

Whew! At least it's not growing from inside your nose and then wandering out and up. lol
