Christians and tattoos...

Growing up, I was always taught that smoking, having pre-marital sex, drinking, and tattoos were bad. Yes, I've had a very conservative up-bringing, however, I've come to disagree with my mother on one thing. Tattoos. She always tried to make her point in scripture ( I believe it's Corinthians).

However, several parts of the bible say to eat and drink to glorify God, and that women shouldn't wear gold earrings and jewelery and what not, yet we do it all the time. I know of many christian's who they themselves have tattoos. So what's the big deal?

Yes, I do believe that there is such thing as too many tattoos, and that some tattoos look very unattractive, but I don't condemn them. Some tattoos can look very attractive on a person, depending on how good the artist is. How much do you think is too much concerning tattoos?
