No, I don't think it'd be wrong. But it might be painful. That's a lot of script for a tattoo.

The Bible warns us against tattoos in Leviticus 19:28 (Amplified) which says, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord."
I know some will have a hard time receiving this teaching because tattooing has now become an accepted practice in our society. However, just because society approves of something does not make it right in God's eyes. Our society at large, also approves of abortion and divorce as well. However, the Bible makes it clear that God doesn't approve of these things.
In sharing this teaching, I am not trying to condemn anyone who already has a tattoo; but rather to warn those who are considering getting one. God loves us, and even when we make mistakes in poor judgment, He doesn't condemn us, but rather tries to help overcome the consequences of those mistakes. Having a tattoo will not keep anyone from serving the Lord. We know some very godly people who have tattoos and are serving the Lord and their tattoos do not interfere with what God is doing through them. Anything Satan tries to use for evil, God can turn and use it for good when we commit totally to Him. God takes us as we are and uses us if we will yield to His will. God will use any of us when we come out of the world and start serving Him with our whole hearts to do His will. Our past is under the blood of Jesus and the sins and mistakes of the past will not hinder our God in our serving Him. Only a hard and unrepentant heart keeps us tied to the old life.
There are many dedicated and sincere Christian people that have tattoos. This article is not meant to say they do not love the Lord. God not only can use them, but does use them. The issue is not whether God can use someone, but rather should Christians pursue getting tattoos? Just because something is popular does not mean it is right. We should always examine things by the "roots and the fruits" of the thing in question.

If you believe it is wrong to get a tatoo (which I personally dont see anything wrong with it), it would be just like getting any other tattoo...

i'd in all likelihood % to get a tattoo of the countless sign with the quote "And in that 2nd, I swear we've been countless" from a e book I examine referred to as The Perks of Being A Wallflower. i'd in all likelihood placed it someplace around my rib or hip section.

Depends:
- What version of the bible?
- Where will you put it?
- Try this! Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

Well, the tattoo would not perish but be everlasting... I can think of better things for tattoos though.

On me? YES... LOL. I think it's important to get what you want that tells something about you that you won't regret having when you're sitting around in a nursing home being abused by the caregivers.

That would be very creepy---like something from the movie "Damian" or "Rosemary's Baby".
