What About Tattoos?
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin ArticlesMany folks today are getting tattoos for various and sundry reasons. Some are even putting them all over their body in order to make some dramatic statement about themselves, or as a motivator for other people to notice them.
Some questions we need to ask are, “What is our motive for acquiring a tattoo?” Is it because everyone else is doing it? Is it a means by which to draw attention to ourselves? Is it to enhance our self-esteem? How will adding a tattoo effect our influence?
