Who cares?
It's their body, their choice.

You have no right to judge anybody that is wrong
I know people that have tattos & piercings and that they believe in God and are awesome people
for example look at bikers they always help out and all the charitys
just b/c u have a tattoo or piercing doesnt make you bad
There are many other bad things in the world
Look inside a persons heart not thier outer apperance

They do not influence the devil, my grandma is a real god believer and she has one whole in each ear. Yeah most piercings are bad, but people can do what they want with their bodys. I only have my ears pierced two wholes in each ear, i would never get anything else than my ears done, but i do want one tattoo but i know i wont get anymore than that.

Have you ever done research on tattoo and piercings?
Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
"Tattoos have served as rites of passage, marks of status and rank, symbols of religious and spiritual devotion, decorations for bravery, sexual lures and marks of fertility, pledges of love, punishment, amulets and talismans, protection, and as the marks of outcasts, slaves and convicts. The symbolism and impact of tattoos varies in different places and cultures, sometimes with unintended consequences.
Today, people choose to be tattooed for cosmetic, sentimental/memorial, religious, and magical reasons, and to symbolize their belonging to or identification with particular groups, including criminal gangs (see criminal tattoos) but also a particular ethnic group or law-abiding subculture. Some MÄori still choose to wear intricate moko on their faces. In Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand, the yantra tattoo is used for protection against evil."
Piercings fall under the same reasons.
Just because YOU don't like the look of a tattoo or piercing, doesn't mean it's wrong.

over use of piercings and tattoos have nothing to do with "the devil". Unless you consider lack of love to be "the devil".
I think that some of it is artwork and alot of it is massochism and self loathing. I personally feel that our government is a tool of the devil and that their soulless manipulation of our bank system, our businesses and our social systems and school systems, not to mention the whole Iraq thing and other betrayals are incredibly evil and that people who act in a massochistic fashion are simply misguided.

you are ridiculous. but thanks for your opinion. i am a christian and i have tattoos, did the devil make me get them? no, i believe not. what about people who have christian tattoos? are those people influenced by the devil too? congratulations on judging us, satan must be influencing you because God clearly says "judge NOT lest ye be judged."
grow up.

your choice of words (defile, deface, and torture) already tells me that you're close-minded and probably not really interested in really knowing and or understanding why people adorn themselves with body art. :-) after all, it sounds like you've already made your judgment!!

Because God gave us free will. I'm not Christian, but if I'm looking at it from that viewpoint, then that's what my answer is. Also, you are not to judge. If you are really Christian, then you will know that the only one who is able to judge is God.
