hehe looks cool.. although.. Mitzvah #348. Not to tattoo the body like the idolaters (Lev. 19:28) idolator!!!! idolatorrrrr!!!!!!!
fuck you, james. Im not a damn idolatar and besides jews aren't allowed to have tattoos and piercings because your body is a gift from god. so you're supposed to look after it.
sorry if i pissed you off with that.. was just trying to be a smartass and know something related to judaism... i wasnt implying anything though, and it does look really cool.. i wanna get a big "life is peachy" along the top of my back in old english styley font.. or something.. meh i suck but yeah my girlfriend has a few ideas of tattoos she wants but i think shes not for it anymore because of the mitzvah.. shes got plenty of piercings though..
nah james.. I was just playing. tell your gf that piercings are exactly the same as tattoos in the eyes of god.
actually, in terms of judaism, it's about being made in God's image and returning to the earth the same way you came from it (ie. unmarked). still a great tattoo...HAHA - cant WAIT to see how your dad reacts: a tattoo, and a RELIGIOUS symbol.....**gasp**
OH - I forgot - (and sorry to come off sounding like a religious know-it-all!) BUT according to the Torah, slaves had their ears pierced (with an awl). Anyway, what I really wanted to say was that the rabbinate in Israel has found a way around nose piercings and ear piercings (most orthodox rabbis wont jump up and down if you get one, but they've found a way in halacha/the torah to make it ok. So dont let your gf mind too much about the religious thing
looks great you bung eye lamington. CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU... better start looking for some music Jesus music for us to boogey to when you get back.
ha ha ha ha classic. i want jesus music. and hey Gloria, you in welly still? or are you busy studyieieyieing? Doug
I am also lookig to see how you "present" it to your dad. How about go to the beach with a bikini top and just say to him "I forgot to tell you, I was drunk at the time, but I really like it". Or you could just leave the house and never speak to him again (the easier way) - lol
Or I could be all "I've got something to tell you... in Israel, I had an accident and I'm now HIV positive.... JUST KIDDING. I GOT A TATTOO!"
Even better, you take a trip to Israel after you get home and send them a letter about this being your choose and that this is who you are!
