================================================ Subject: Re: Tatoos a sin? From: "Creed -7M3 - Live" To: Date: Mon 17 Jun 2002 20:43:30 -0400 ================================================ I'm not outright religious. But I avoided marking my body. It was in regards, partly to the biblical reference. Also, I feel that tattooing is too permanent. Plus, it is not something that relates to my personal choice. My body is not a mural or billboard. But some find it great to mark the body up. So that they can show their feelings or outlook on life, through art. It is just a personal choice. If it is religiously inspired or just a vent for personal expression. Jim Andrew W.
