My daughter asked me some questions today about tattoos. After thoroughly explaining reasons as to why NOT to get a tattoo and my hopes of her NOT getting tattooed when she is an adult, she then proceeds to ask me "Does the needle go in your skin?" I firmly respond "Yes." She then asks "What if you got one right here?" (as she points to her chest.) "Where?" I ask. She says "Your heart." A concerned look must have come across my face. She proceeds by saying "Would it hurt God?" My response "How so?" And without hesitation she adds "You know, because God is in your heart."
The answer to that: Quite possibly so, my dear. Quite possibly so.
