It's true. People who have religious tattoos are posers. They want people to think of them as spiritual without actually having to put the work in reading and studying it.

1) Lev. 19:28 - You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
2) Christ was killed on a stake (stauros), not a cross.
3) The mark of the beast (Rev 13:16, 14:9) has nothing to do with tattoos. It is a mark upon the right hand and forehead; this means it will be the way that an individual acts (hand) and thinks (forehead) in line with the beast system and thus contrary to the laws and will of God.

The interpretation of abstract symbols has had an important role in religion and psychoanalysis. As envisioned by Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, symbols are not the creations of mind, but rather are distinct capacities within the mind to hold a distinct piece of information. In the mind, the symbol can find free association with any number of other symbols, can be organized in any number of ways, and can hold the connected meanings between symbols as symbols in themselves. Jung and Freud diverged on the issue of common cognitive symbol systems and whether they could exist only within the individual mind or among other minds; whether any cognitive symbolism was defined by innate symbolism or by influence of environment.

I believe the verse in the old testament is talking about the pagans who used to mark the body by cutting it while worshipping their pagan Gods...that is what the bible talks about do not mark your body...

i have been going to church all my life went to private school kindergarten-8Th grade and tough catechism to kids in the parish and i think that people that are proud of their religion should be able to show it but yes i do know people who are posers and it kind of makes me mad i don't know i guess it just has to do with ones beliefs
( i do not have a tattoo though)

The teachings of Jesus replaced all OT stuff. Seriously, look into it.
The cross is a very personal item, and it means something to the people that have it on their body, duh...
Peace.
P.S.
Sorry about the duh, but it fits so well there, you know, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THIS !
