Here Is Why I Have No Tattoos

ok... So I found this verse... in the bible... and... I think it rocks my world.  It says something like...

"'Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you"

it's from

Leviticus 19:28

Basically to me it says... ok people... don't get tattoos.  Now, I'm not saying anyone ELSE has to not get tattoos... if you like it and you are cool with it... do your thing.  But I made up my mind a long time ago that I could never get one.  It's just not going to happen ever.  I would also never get a piercing.  It's just not something I find enjoyable.

So basically my thing with tattoos is really for two reasons:

Reason A: I can't even let someone write pen or marker on me without getting all OCD and immediately going to wash it off.  I just don't like markings on my body at all of any kind. I can't explain it... It just really bugs me and I start to obsess about it like hardcore.  MUST WISH THIS OFF!  I could never wrap my mind around those people who just wrote phone numbers and notes on their hands with pen...

to me it was like EEEEEKKKK!!!!!  Don't DO THAT!

ok... so that's A...

Reason B:

I think that the body is beautiful the way it is naturally without any modifications.  I think that the human body should be shown off as you naturally are.  I actually am not really a fan of ANY body modifications... this goes for: tattoos, piercing, hair dies, make up, surgical modifications, etc.

I mean... I guess... I almost feel like changing your body... is well it's like this...

 

If you ever order a good steak... and I mean a GOOD steak... from a REAL steak house... and the actual CHEF brings the steak out...

That steak is meant to be eaten as is... no A1... no sauces no extra spices.  If you start loading that steak up with stuff...

It's a slap in the face to the chef.  Seriously, they will really be offended.

Well I look at the human body as this... it was created perfect...

and to go added all kinds of modifications to it as kind of like a slap in the face to the creator... just like it's s slap in the face to the chef who prepared the most perfect and delicious steak.

But that's just how I see it...

I don't know... I just think people are beautiful just the way they are when they are born.

But if you want to do all that stuffs do it up... this is just the way that I feel about my own body and why I don't do any of the tat's or piercings or hair dies or any of that stuffs.

So now everyone knows why I don't like tattoos.  But I do love me that Leviticus 19:28 verse.
