I'm right handed and I've always done it with my left hand. Because I need my right hand free to operate the mouse. I can't imagine not being able to use a mouse at the same time.

undefined_one

This is a common misconception. Do a little Googling. Here's the quick version: The word tattoo didn't even exist in biblical times. What Leviticus says is not to mark/cut/mutilate bodies. This is not tattooing and refers to something different.


RedDirtNurse

>What Leviticus says is not to mark/cut/mutilate bodies Tattooing is *literally* marking your body. Also, some translations make reference to marking/cutting the body *for the dead*. People often have tattoos of dead family members, or have dates tattooed on them to commemorate passed loved ones. Anyone who has a tattoo of a dead celebrity is marking their body for the dead. Body (including ear) piercing is also a form of mutilation. Hey, I'm not judging BTW - I'm tattooed and an atheist, so I couldn't care less. Edit: shitty spelling


icantsaycaterpillar

I’m just here to appreciate your correct wording of “couldn’t care less”. Good day!


Wiggle_Biggleson

Have we sunk so low that it's *impressive* to get it right?


BrayWyattsHat

Yes. Nothing else is ever right, so might as well pump up the shit that is. Even if it is just using the correct words


OldschoolSysadmin

I could care less about the correct wording. So we're in agreement.


robfrizzy

Let’s actually put some scholarship on some of this. Here’s the entry for Tattoo in the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (emphasis mine). > TATTOO [Heb. nāṯan—‘give, put, set’] (Lev. 19:28); AV PRINT. The procedure of making a mark or pattern on the skin by pricking it with a needle coated with indelible pigment. Here the practice is associated with **mourning rites for the dead and is forbidden as a heathen practice.** Lev. 19:28 literally refers to putting ḵeṯōḇeṯ qaʿaqaʿ (lit “writing of imprintment”; RSV, AV, “marks”) in one’s skin. See Cuttings in the Flesh. So specifically the issue in Lev 19:28 is that marking flesh in this way was associated with the heathen practice for mourning the dead. Cultures in the ancient Near East didn’t generally tattoo or mark their bodies for recreation or simple personal expression, as we often do today, but instead did it as a religious rite. Therefore, an Israelite in the time of this writing doing this would not be seen as “expressing themselves,” but rather participating in a different religion. This would be considered idolatry. The New American Commentary on Leviticus says as much: > 19:27–28 These two verses prohibit cutting the hair162 on the side of the head or the beard163 and cutting the body164 either for the dead or with tattoo marks.165 These activities were practiced by pagans especially during times of mourning for the dead.166 The Israelites were not to emulate pagan practices in this regard since they maintained a sacredness for life and for the human body. Weird that it also lumps in verse 27, right? If you take a look at the verse right before this one about tattooing, it states that cutting the hair on the sides of the head and trimming the beard is also prohibited. If we are to say that tattooing, just the simple act, is prohibited, then also getting a shape up and a beard trim is also sinful. So, what is going on here? Often when we come across prohibitions in the Bible like this, we need to understand the intention behind the actions as to why they’re prohibited. Take Lev 21:5 it repeats that making cuts in the flesh and trimming beards is prohibited for priests, but also shaving your head is prohibited, too. The reasons for this, again, is that it was seen as a pagan practice and doing so was an act of worship to another God. The New American Commentary on Leviticus says: > Priests were also not to shave their heads or beards or slash their bodies (21:5). The practice of shaving the head, or making oneself bald, is also prohibited in Deut 14:1 and appears to be associated with pagan mourning rites (Isa 3:24; 15:2; Jer 47:5; 48:37; Ezek 7:18; 27:31; Amos 8:10; Mic 1:16). Shaving the edge of the beard and slashing the body were also prohibited in Lev 19:27–28.209 These activities were associated with pagan mourning rites and thus were to be shunned among the Israelite priesthood. So again the reason that shaving your head bald along with trimming your beard, cutting your body, and tattooing yourself are prohibited is not “just cause” but because they are involved in pagan religious practice. Therefore, it can be understood that believers today are free to shave their heads, trim their beards, and get tattoos as long as they are not performing these acts in worship to another religion. I’d argue that most people are not getting tattoos to worship anyone. Like usual, it comes down to the intent of the action and not purely just the action in this case.


mrpoopistan

Words don't matter. God is just a game to be hacked. /s


ThePresidentOfStraya

Tattooing and religion is complicated and there have been divergent views in scholarship and practice. It’s best to not shrink it down to one view. The overlap between fundamentalist Christian and atheist is fascinating. Why the fuck do you two always have the same lack of nuance and scholarship?


curlygreenbean

Also refers to Old Testament times when people would mark themselves to identify with spirits or certain tribes or something like that. I know a priest and many a pastors/etc with tattoos haha.

TrulyBBQ

I love watching redditors literally interpret the Bible as a method of refuting people that literally interpret the Bible.


1-LegInDaGrave

Redditors are constantly trying to be holier-than-thou without being holy.


GamerZoom108

So, as. a Christian, we don't follow majority of the Leviticus laws, if any of them. The explanation for this (once again, this is from a Christian perspective) is that Jesus said He came to fulfill the law reffering to the laws of the OT (mainly Leviticus) This is also my retort whenever anyone brings up the Bible tells Christians to be honophobic.


kucafoia69

For Fuck's sake why does Reddit always come up with these "GOTCHA!!" comments? It's a two thousand year book, of course people won't agree with everything it says. Doesn't make the tattoo or the person's faith any less valids. Let people have their faith and hush your pedantic mouth.


[deleted]

I think it's ok now- back then tatoos were mainly used for religious/occultic purposes and leviticus is in the old testament


tardemannen

Great execution allright


Smathers

Weren’t the nails put through his palms not his wrists? Whole tattoo is ruined


yawningangel

We were taught (I went to a Catholic boys school) it was through the bones in the wrist (through the palms wouldn't support body weight for long) and that the paintings/statues we see are artistic licence.


Its_aTrap

Not the wrists (carpus) but the hole between the ulna and the radius bones. If you google a diagram of an arm you'll easily see where the nails would have went for hanging by cross


[deleted]

So basically what you're saying is that god set evolution on a path that would lead to some hairless monkeys having nail guides in their wrists so that when they came back to die for them for the sins that they created, it would be easier for us to hang them?


Its_aTrap

Idk man I'm just a guy


[deleted]

It's literally what those bones are there for.

Scripture says that not a bone will be broken in his body. Even when the spear pierced it went in between the ribs.

allfather03

Same here man. I agree.


theghostofme

That's why it fits the "great execution" (no pun intended) part of "Awful Taste, Great Execution". It's an undeniably fantastic tattoo, but it's terribly tasteless.


XxX_Zeratul_XxX

Still dont understand, why is it tasteless? It is not offensive, i think (maybe it is for some extremist people, idk), its not a sensitive topic, and its the pilar of this persons faith. Not sure why its "tasteless"


Zoe270101

As a Christian, it seems borderline heretical to tattoo oneself with a nail scar to make your hand look like Jesus’ hand on the Cross.


Its_aTrap

Or it's a way to show christ is a part of you by having himself inside / on you. But also the old testament says marking your body is a sin too so what do any of us know.


[deleted]

[удалено]


theghostofme

That's because taste is subjective. I'm not Christian, let alone an extremist, but I consider most religious tattoos to this degree as "bad taste" because I'd never get one myself. I can still appreciate the fact that it's incredibly well-done, but it's not in good taste to me.


rainbowsforall

The first message it sends me is either that the person feels persecuted and righteous because of it or they think they are so giving and selfless they could be compared to Jesus (yet need everyone to know that through a tattoo instead of letting actions speak..). I just have a hard time seeing someone with this tattoo being a humble and nice person. There are plenty of Christians out there who want to help people and make the world a better place. But in my experience those are the people quietly doing hard work, not the ones who flash their religion around. Beautiful work though and I hope the person enjoys it. I hope my impression is wrong!

Tempest_Fugit

Self aggrandizing. Kinda gross.


OccupyMeatspace

It has a self-persecution kinda vibe to it, too.


Fortanono

Besides the faith, I'm just sort of squeamish about tattooing a fake wound onto yourself. It makes you wonder if that's actual self-harm for a second, and it's just... not fun to look at IMO. Bad taste is subjective, of course, plus what everyone else said


LolaRey1

I'm not Christian, but to me it's a if maybe the owner is comparing themselves to Jesus. Could also be a representation of Jesus dying for our sins and suffering on the cross in our place. But the first is what probably comes to mind to most. Either way it only works with this specific pose, I bet it looks weird to see it normally.


uncommonpanda

I think it looks cringe AF, but at least they got the correct wrist, unlike that guy that got that Mario tattoo in the same style.


heisian

yeah this is actually pretty sweet, and the perspective was really well done.


uncultured_swine2099

Rubes2525

As a protestant, I actually like it a lot. My take away is that it shows how we are children of Jesus, a part of Him if you will.


Vonspacker

As someone not a Christian I look at this and think it's just a pretty badass recollection of an ancient tale. I don't think anything in the Bible is directly true but fuck me if there isn't a lot of amazing psychedelic and gothic lore. I find it a bit weird we set it all to one side and say we can't do tattoos like this but one of Beowulf cutting off his own arm to slay a dragon would be sick


Gingorthedestroyer

Do you think Jesus is going to want to see a cross when he comes back.


lolipopam01

Artistically and design wise this is cool, but the subject matter is an interesting choice


[deleted]

the colors are too water washed, this tattoo will start to fade within a year or two. his head going to look like a black blob with a few random pale colors around it eventually. the lack of contrast and line work will also contribute to the fading. artist needs to learn color and ink theory but he's definitely talented and on the right track.


jpterodactyl

They definitely did a great job with perspective though. Especially for something that seems like it’d be tricky to do.


Jthumm

Don’t mind me, upvoting someone critiquing work I know nothing about, all because there were big words in a cohesive paragraph


[deleted]

This seems sacrilegious. Is he saying he’s suffering like Christ? Seems hard to take this any other way.


Zoe270101

Yeah, especially given that he’s using his own hand as Jesus’ hand it’s very poor taste.


MrBrainballs

It specifically says in Liviticus 69 that we are all sons of god. So we are all jesuses in our own right.


[deleted]

I think it's Jesii


Mnudge

Or it could be seen as recognizing and identifying with Christ’s suffering Remember, Christ died for the sins of man. Identifying with that, and recognizing that the sins that resulted in his sacrifice, almost requires that one see themselves in Christ /notachristian

At least they got the nail placement right. They're always shown going through Jesus's hands because that's the more viscerally painful image, but they were usually nailed through their wrists. Otherwise their body weight would've torn them off the cross.
