Religious Tattoos
AOA NEWS
By Tahlib
CANADA - There is at least one website dedicated to Judeo-Christian body art (Tattoos): http://www.religioustattoos.net/ designed and maintained by Christian tattoo enthusiast Jason Gennaro,from Toronto, Canada. It's hotly debated in some religious circles whether this is a biblically sanctioned expression or an abomination (like eating lobster, gays marrying and polyester blends). My mom has two (one says "God"). My son has several with religious messages(stopped counting). For those with questions, Gennaro's site gives you access to what the Bible says (and doesn't say) about tattoos [click: Leviticus 19:28 ].
