One of my best friends got a tattoo. I know him since we were little children and he was always very very kind and friendly. He is such a good guy and he cares about everyone, he has a big heart. I have no words to describe him. When I found out that he got a tattoo, i cried. I simply cried. The reason is because I've always thought that tattooed people are bad or evil. I'm afraid that he will change from a lovely and kind guy to a gangster or smth like this. As I girl, i would never get a tattoo...tattoos on chicks look even worse (my opinion). Will he change his personality? Can someone tell me, does a tattoo make you a bad person?
If you have a tattoo, does it mean that you're a bad person?

brother,
tatoo doesnt make someone bad its the company of friends around you that makes the person different. lets get an example if you have friendship with a perfume seller you will always smell nice but if you have friendship with a fire man or blacksmith you clothes will have some burns or it will be black as you will always be around with the friends copntinously..............i hope this may help you out
Another misconception of people getting themselves inked. No, tattoos do not make you a bad person. Tattoos are an expression of oneself and is a form of an art. I totally respect your opinion, but you also have to be open to people's reasons for wearing one. If tattoos make you bad, why would it even be inside in a cereal box. I know they are just the fake ones, but either way, it is an art. I even came across with tattooyou.com that they have new designs for dads this father's day. They just the temporary tattoos though and not the real ones, but either way, tattoos will always be a form of an art and an expression of oneself.
History of Tattoos
A tattoo is a permanent mark or design on the skin made by cutting the skin to produce scars or by inserting coloring matter under the skin. The Israelites were forbidden to engage in this practice, one that was common among some other ancient peoples. (Le 19:28) For example, there were times when the Egyptians tattooed the names or symbols of their deities on their breast or arms. By complying with Jehovah’s law not to disfigure their bodies, the Israelites would have stood out as different from other nations. (De 14:1, 2) The prohibition would also have impressed upon them a proper respect for the human body as God’s creation, to be used in honoring him.—Ps 100:3; 139:13-16; Ro 12:1.
