What is music without harmony? Verily it is not music. Life without goodwill and fraternity - what is it? Indeed it is not life. He has not truly lived who has not lived for others, in sympathy and in harmony with his fellows.

This question is directed toward all you christian colunists. I'm planning to get a tattoo soon and I'd like to get the opinion of other christians. So if you are a christian, I'd like to know how you feel about tattoos. (link)

I am a Christian and, unlike some other Christians who have answered your question, I have never felt or been led to believe that getting a tattoo is a sin or is a way of rejcting the way God made you. A previous responder to your question brought up a Catholic belief that "[getting a tatoo] says to God 'you did not make me perfect.'" I feel this is bad advice and a very warped point of view because God DID NOT make us perfect. Getting a tattoo IS life-changing because it is a (more or less) permanent mark on your body.
My advice is to you is to not let the fact that you are a Christian dissuade you from getting a tattoo. However, be sure that the tattoo you get is truly meaningful and is something that you will enjoy in a few decades as much as you will when you first get it.
