Just like the discussion we had when one of our classmates presented on it. I find religious tattoos to hold a lot more meaning than people who get the tattoos just because they want one. Tattoos that don't have a religious background but still mean something to the person that got it, have a lot of meaning also. Tattoos are just like the written word and the image of God. They depict something that means so much to one person, however, may not mean alot to another. However, some tattoos may take away from the sacredness of the image that is being portrayed. I myself have 5 tattoos, each of which mean something to me. Although they mean something to me, if others see my tattoos they'll ask why I got it and what it could possibly mean to me. For instance, my angel on my back isn't an ordinary angel, it's very elaborate. When people ask me what it is I explain to them that it's an angel.. and then they'll routinely ask why I got it. I tell them that it's for both my grandma and my teammate because they both died when I was young. My angel represents them and signifies that I may not be able to see them in life and in meaning (because it's on my back), however I know that they'll always be there in spirit and in mind. I know that they are there
