Re: Stupid tattoos...
I did wonder if the Bible addressed tattooing. So here goes.
First off, the quotation used from the OT of the Bible:
Leviticus 19:28
"You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tattoo any marks upon you; I am the Lord."
Okay, now read this article that goes more in depth about the subject, and puts the verse itself into historical context. Now as to who it addresses, after reading the article it doesn't really matter.
Here's an interesting verse (off topic) a few lines earlier:
Leviticus 19:17-18
"You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason with your neighbor...you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord."
There's lots of interesting verses in those chapters.
