Controversy

Is it art? Could it be just a hobby, or even an occupation for some? Is it possible damnation for those who participate in such activity?

I have been thinking about tattoos lately. I know multiple people who have 1 or multiple tattoos, and I have brought it up in conversation every so often. Something I find interesting is whether I hear a positive or negative reaction to the subject it seems to be an eyebrow raising subject. "I have no problem with tattoos, I think they look really cool on some people...ARE YOU GOING TO GET ONE?" The person has already expressed their approval and yet there is this curiosity that surrounds the thought of whose buttons will be pushed as a result, or maybe how one's perception might change of the individual or even group of people getting tattoos.

OOOO my heart is just palpatating at the thought of the reactions I could get with getting a tattoo. Earlier today I was looking through some old pictures of my family and came across a pciture of my brother with ears pierced and his hair dyed black...what a rebel. I still remeber the surprize we all had when he came off the airplane for Christmas break with earings. I thought it was cool that he was pushing the boundaries of what was considered kooth in our family at the time.

So now I am curious as to why I have considered getting a tattoo for myself, hypothetically speaking of course. What could be driving me to permanently engrave something onto my body for all to see my individualism, my gumption and rebelliousness to all who may raise an eyebrow? The first reaction I could think of from some of my friends would be, "Dude that's totally BA!" (Bad ass that is) What's the world coming to with kids saying "ass" these days? And of course it is okay that I have stated it in my post because I have only quoted or parenthesized it each time.

Ass Christians... oopse I mean AS Christians what are the battles that we need to be figthting, and what are the things that we choose to make a big issue out of that could be getting in the way of what matters most?

Give me some feedback peoples. Peace!
