I pierced my face... they pierced his side...
I marked my skin with ink and needles... they marked his with whips and with thorns...
I have been called a freak... He calls me His child.

This random little thought went through my mind in the grocery store when someone was staring at my arms and the place in my lip where my rings used to be... I don't need the world's acceptance, when I have His.

We definatly should be looking WAY past the *cover* of those who we come into contact with.
I honestly did not realize just how *judged* people with tattoos got judged until I got one myself recently. (Feb.) It is the first one I have ever gotten..and most like the only one I will ever get. BUT...I have been really amazed at how some have reguarded me over it.

Sooooo...I have to say I like what you wrote above. It shows acceptance...love and the mercy and grace and faithfulness of God that we are to strive to give to others. :)
Thanks for posting!

I get the same reaction from people. People look at my tattoos and piercings and assume that I'm not a believer (note: Christianity is a minority here).
Some of the senior members of the church dont like it too. I've also been asked to cover them when I attend church.

sometimes I wonder if people think I am judging them when I stare at their tats... but I have one myself and only stare cuz I like it, or am trying to figure out what it is or says.
if you have a tattoo expect to be stared at, cuz ppl stare at art and that is what you have on your body =]

very true, goth.. gotta read faces, though... i don't mind ppl looking at the art, but the expression on a face when they make eye contact can betray their hearts
