Freehold's First Tattoo Parlor to Open

[Johny Joe Hold]

Request for Tattoo Standards

Friends, I cannot tell you how much I dislike tattoos. I think marking up God's bodies is not what He had in mind for us.

But, I do not find legal grounds for turning down the license request from All About Faith Tatoos. They seem like a nice married couple and have pledged to do only work the is in keeping with the Christian character of Freehold.

The good news is our City Attorney told me I have the authority to regulate content of tattoos under our Public Morality ordinance.

What I would like to do here is request input as to what constitutes acceptable tattoo art. In addition, of course, we need to establish what does not.

My initial thinking has been we would allow only the Christian Cross and a few Bible quotes like "Jesus Saves". But, I'm kind of in over my head when it comes to art so I'd like your input.

Thank you all for making Freehold a Christ-Centered Community.

I firmly believe Tramp Stamps should be judged based upon their content.

The only acceptable ones should be those that contain Biblical verses.

I have to admit, I would not mind my kids having their names 'inked' on them. There have been so many over the last 35_ years, I really have not a clue who a lot of them are. I end up calling most of them "Git over here' and 'You, stop that', though this makes everyones face glow when I whisper in their ear "You are my favorite". It'd be kind of nice to put a name to the faces.

If you are unsaved trash who comes in here whining about 'only God will judge me' make sure your tattooist isn't as retarded as you are.

I'm not sure if that is possible, brother Jack. I guess all tattooists are as retarded as the people taking them.

Good point, Brother. If sickular scientists weren't so busy worshiping monkeys, they might have invented a tattoo gun with spell check by now. I specify "sickular" because the faculty at Landover Baptist University for the Saved would never involve themselves in such things:

Lev. 19:28: Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I [am] the LORD.

Re: Freehold's First Tattoo Parlor to Open

I have always assumed that tattoos were against the word of God and a little cute rose on your butt cheek would condemn you to Hell,

Leviticus 19 :28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

I have reduced many young ladies to tears by shouting this Bible verse at them in the street. Have I been overzealous with my admonishments?

Anyway the tattoo parlor may be useful for bringing out any heathens that live around the Freehold area. Sinners are attracted to tattoo parlors like flies are to sh*t.

Re: Freehold's First Tattoo Parlor to Open

I've always been torn about the "for the dead" part of Lev. 19:28.

For instance, if a young lady had a tattoo of Our Lord Jesus Christ on her lower back, I feel that would be OK because He has risen.

Of course, a tattoo of Him while He was in the tomb would naturally be forbidden.

Yours in Christ,

Is there a way we can make that illegal so we can have legal grounds?

Re: Freehold's First Tattoo Parlor to Open

The way I see it, as long as your tattoo cannot be construed as marks of any kind upon your body, then it is compatible with Biblical teaching.

I am having trouble thinking of an example of such a tattoo, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.

That being said, I am opposed to them purely on the grounds that they tend to attract homers.

My thinking is homer messages cannot be tolerated. Also illegal at this point, any message the glorifies Satan.

I cannot thank you all enough for this public input.

But isn't a tattoo of any kind a sort of homer signal?

Either homer or hipster. On second thought, isn't "hipster" just a newfangled term for homers?

Hipsters are in to mocking what they see is failing in other people with "irony". In other words viscous, unprovoked attacks which is what gay ass sex really is. So Hipsters are homers.

Since content can be regulated wouldn't it be the Police Department who should be monitoring the whole process. Could one of the cells at the jail be converted into a tattoo suite. This would work out as you not only would be able to arrest anyone stretching the bounds of decency right on the spot, the police would be able to add descriptions of the new tattoos right to these peoples rap sheets. After all, anybody getting tattoos are most certainly habitual law breakers anyway.
