  • Christian Tattoo Parlour?

    Jesus is as mad as a harlot locked in a Bible factory over THIS story from Tennessee.

    Christian tattoo parlor avoids profane designs
    Customers get a witness along with their body art

    Billy Joe Henry would love to tattoo your arms — but don't ask him for a peace sign or profanity.

    Henry owns a Christian tattoo parlor on Broadway in Nashville— he's also set up shop in Terre Haute, Ind., and plans to have a parlor in Clarksville by the end of the summer.

    While serving time in jail in Indiana for a felony drug charge — he said he was taking about $250 worth of drugs each day at the time — he became a Christian when one of his jail mates started preaching.

    "I had to listen because he was a big guy, and I wasn't about to make him mad," Henry said.

    That night, after hearing the Gospel in a cell, Henry said a prayer. "I said, 'God, if you're real, get me out of here and I'll start going to church,' " Henry recalled. Within a couple of weeks of going to jail, Henry's judge threw out his case and his criminal
    record was expunged. He walked away a free man.

    And he didn't forget his promise.

    As part of his reform, Henry, 38, decided to give up tattooing.

    Then one Sunday at church, Henry's wife, Lynn Henry, felt God put it in her heart for Henry to open a Christian tattoo parlor.

    "This is what he loved doing, and there needed to be a way for him to do something he loved doing," she said.

    The Henrys first opened a parlor in Indiana before moving to Nashville three years ago and opening Billy Joe's Tattoos. They now live in Hendersonville with their 8-year-old son.

    Billy Joe Henry said they now have a large Christian customer base but their "heart" is still to reach non-Christians.

    "It's our way of witnessing to those who aren't going to listen to a man in a three-piece suit telling them about Jesus and what he can do for them," he said.

    "I'm there for the nonbeliever, for the person that doesn't know Christ. That's where the mission field is: the nonbeliever."

    Henry won't tattoo any design "that glorifies sin," he said. Limitations include marijuana leaves, profanity, peace signs and homosexuality. This sometimes drives away business, but Henry said he isn't bothered.

    "We try and make sure that everybody understands that we're just a tattoo shop. We have different beliefs than a lot of other people, but we have great tattoo artists and great body piercers who do awesome work," Billy Joe Henry said.

    Friends, let us see what the Holy Bible has to say on the subject.

    Leviticus 19:28 (King James Version)

    Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

    This would include the revolting goth vice of "piercings" referred to in the secular news story above as well. How this drug-addict homer can be so deluded is beyond me. He must have been reading some false Bible while bending over in the showers to pick up the soap.
    Who Will Jesus Damn?

    Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:

    Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

    That's Tennessee! The "people" there think they're so Religious - but nearly half of them are not Good Baptists but Members(!) but of the "Church" of Christ!

    Simply....pity-ful!

      I think that's great. Tattoos are a great art.

        Friend,

        Didn't you get read how Jesus wants our bodies marking free? I do prary your false pagan goddess does not demand you tattoo on your buttocks "pagan sub creature, open for public use now".

        Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

          Let me get this straight. A drug addict "became a Christian" by hearing preaching from a "Christian" who was also in the slammer (nice "Christian" witness there!). Then he started a business that inherently glorifies sin, while being careful not to do so in a way that "glorifies sin." The church of compromise claims yet another member who only thinks he knows anything about the Bible.
          This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so. Otherwise, if what you read on this site offends you, then you're offended by Almighty God and His Word, not by us.

            If you're not going to need them after the rapture, why does he care how you decorate them? It's not like they're going to clash with the decor in heaven.

              The word is "desecrate", and that is just what they are doing. God cares because he created them in His image.

              brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.

                I used exactly the word I intended to use - decorate. Well-rendered body art is beautiful.

                  If God went through the trouble of giving us that law, He must have had a reason. Are you suggesting that the Almighty committed some sort of oversight that you can see?

                  On what difference it makes how we "decorate" our bodies, read the following:

                  I Corinthians 6:19: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

                  If God forbids tattoos, then He must not want graffiti spray-painted all over His temple.

                  As for being able to second-guess God, read the following:

                  Job 40:2: Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct [him]? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

                      Indeed it is.
                      And you can choose from Jesus and Heaven, or tattoos and hell.
                      Which one do you want?

                        I don't think my multiple ear piercings, belly button ring, or tattoos are going to send me to hell.

                          No, it'd be Jesus who sends you to Hell.

                          Your insolence and complete rejection of His Unconditional Love will be the reason.

                            No, your body is Jesus' creation, so its his decision. Admittedly, He may be temporarily allowing your husband or father to steward your body on His behalf, but it's still ultimately His property.
                            O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.



                            God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
