thoughts as I see so many, especially with asian symbols of honor and goodness tatooed on themselfs who live hypocritically to those very characters
Symbols of honor and dignity Inked into the pores of your flesh Where is that honor in every day living? Do you lose it with your temper, Is it a �Whenever it�s convenient thing?� Your actions articulate more loudly Than those permanent marks in your skin

To me it's art, though the Bible clearly forbids them. I understand your point Karen, and I can agree to it as well.
Good write,

Aw, those "permanent marks in your skin" are much more telling that first thought . . . We tend to exaggerate to the extreme . . . We advertise our demons, for the most part, although disguised as something other than demons. I speak from experience and have finally come to terms with all my demons, and, actually after the first numbing shock of awareness it is a pleasant feeling. The tattooed demons are still there, but they have been neutered. A knowing write . . .
