Getting a tattoo

[KFCarter]

Your kilted brethren are right there with you so stay positive and if you like them both, get them both... just save room for more!

[puckhead9]

I agree with getting both - You won't be stopping there anyway!!!

[Bigkahuna]

I concur, get them both. Just be sure you really like the designs as you will have them for a long long time.

How about you decide which one you want first.

Remember to keep the sun to your face and the wind to your back.

I have cancer and it's a nasty one. So far I am still in remission but it could come back tomorrow. So I have made a bucket list.

One of the things I have put in my bucket list is getting a tattoo. I've thought of getting one for years but have been putting it off.

Today I decided to get one. I've been looking at different celtic tattoos and have come down with two that I really like.

Just wondering what the consensus is for the one I should get.

As long as you're not Jewish, the sky is the limit. (the torah or the talmud, maybe both, say you can't get into heaven with a tattoo) Perhaps "I did it my way."

[CactusJack]

I say get both as well. Getting tattooed is almost as bad as buying kilts...

[Catdad]

From my limited experience...tattoos are like kilts, one is too many and a thousand are not enough. I only have one of each, but only finances have stopped me from getting more. :-)

Definitely go for both. Once you get the one and the ink gets in your blood, you're going to want the other, so just decide now what order you want them in.

Get both and stay positive. Celtic knotwork reminds us of the interconnectedness and eternity of life. Maybe next time around you'll be a tattoo artist...wooo!

Hold a moment while we digress......
The prohibition of tattooing is found in the Torah: "You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves: I am the Lord".........But, however distasteful we may find the practice there is no basis for restricting burial to Jews who violate this prohibition or even limiting their participation in synagogue ritual. The fact that someone may have violated the laws of kashrut at some point in his or her life or violated the laws of Shabbat would not merit such sanctions; the prohibition against tattooing is certainly no worse.

To be able to offer advice, it may help to see examples. Barring that, why not get both! One on each arm. Good luck, God Bless.
