I read this and thought of my dad and how red his face turned when he noticed part of a tattoo sticking out from top of my tee shirt when I was just 21. The first thing he said was, I'll never be able to be buried in a Jewish cemetery. Stubborn me said good because I was going to be cremated.....yes, strike two with my dad. I now own 3 very old tattoos from my rebel days of defying dad.

My rabbi told me that there is actually no prohibition to being buried in a Jewish cemetary if you have tattoos. Cremation well yes that is a deal breaker. I do not have any tattoos though.

I have three. My first is a rose tattooed over my heart; as it was my great grandmother's favorite flower. My second is my boxer Chelsea's paw print with her name under it on my left thigh....getting ready to do my right thigh with Miranda's paw print; my boxer I lost last April. My third is a tattoo that says "Butch", on my right hip, just above the wasteline of my boxers.

Yep, I have tats. Love them! Mine are symbolic and represent an era , an event or are representations of my character and my interests.

I'll post my two faves in the gallery.

Love tats and am always thinking about adding. I've waited for years before committing to them. Not because I'm hesitant about the permanence of them, but because I tend to work either the design or the placement of the art I've chosen until I'm satisfied with the final decision (placement and art).

I cant say enough about consultations with the artist prior to sitting for your piece. Placement, size, color (or not) and an artists ability (is it suited for the piece you want?) all dictate a certain amount of time before the actual event !

Not me. Thought about it 30 years ago and didn't. Glad I didn't.

Thanks for partaking, people!

Seems like we have a majority of inked BFP'ers!

I have 4. 3 of which are small, homemade tatts I gave myself in h.s. The only professional tattoo I have is around my right ankle. A vine with 4 lavendar roses. I got it in college after writing an article about our local tattoo shops for the student newspaper.

TexasCowboi · 02-18-2010, 03:55 AM

yep..... I have 'em..... lots of 'em

UofMfan · 02-18-2010, 05:49 AM

No, thanks.

As far as on others, I can admire from afar, but I find that I usually dislike them on those close to me.

Gentle Tiger · 02-20-2010, 02:13 AM

I don't have one at the moment. But I am seriously thinking about it.

SassyLeo · 02-17-2010, 01:54 PM

I have many Jewish friends who have tattoos. I have several myself.

We are not prohibited from being buried in the Jewish cemetary.

The Torah states that it is prohibited and I think being a Jew with tattoos depends on your beliefs, i.e., are you Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist?

My Turkish Jew grandmother totally did not approve of my cousin and his tattoos (she may have spoken sternly at him in some Ladino expletives )

He is older than I and she never knew I had any...she has died...however she did not disown him or love him any less
