Got my first tattoo this weekend

[thatwhichisnt]

Holy crap it was awesome. I dont have any pictures right now to upload, but I got Psalms 23:1 on my wrists in Hebrew. The left one says, "The Lord is my Shepherd" while the right says, "I shall not want".

I wasn't really nervous, even though I heard the wrists was on of the most painful spots. Pain wise it wasn't horrible, but definitely wasn't comfortable. It is quite addicting though. It was a good pain.

Needless to say I have my next 4 planned.

Inside of bicep, lower back, and flanks, THOSE hurt. Wrists not so much. Welcome to the dark side.

I find the fact that you started a post about tattooing bible scripture on you with "Holy crap" hilarious.

Glad I could be of service.

It's pretty small. If needed it could be covered with a bandaide. Regardless I am not too worried.

If I didn't already have a tattoo on my left forearm, I would have made myself the rule "Nothing visible when wearing a short sleeved shirt and pants" - but being as it's too late for that, I'm just gonna keep it to a minimum after I coverup the tattoo on my left forearm.

All the others one I will get will be under that rule. It will be able to be covered up by a short sleeve shirt.

Pain?????

Do your chest close to sternum, nipple or collar bone and you will see PAIN. Also the rib cage area.

Ribcage is next. I should be able to get a good comparison.

I hope you have "shepherd"

Isn't that going against Leviticus 19:28?

Its in Hebrew as said above. I chose that for a reason, so I can't be responsible for any spelling mistakes. Plus it looks cool.

Uh oh!!

No. Not for modern Christians anyway.

Without getting too theological I will explain why. The law was given to an already redeemed Israel, not in order to be redeemed.

The law can be divided into 3 parts: moral, civil, and ceremonial. The civil (Israel government) and ceremonial (foreshadowed the sacrifice of Christ) have passed away, but the moral law (such as the 10 Commandments) still remain to guide Christians in their behavior.

Care to elaborate on "modern christians"? Do you guys not follow the bible anymore?

I think I did below that.

Leviticus 19:28........that could be my next tattoo.

So, the law set forth in Leviticus only applies to the Levite tribes? If so, have all of those laws become void? The reason I ask isn't to troll, I just see christians citing Leviticus as reason not to allow homosexuals to marry.
