Is this considered a sacrilege act?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 at 1:10 pm

I am a believer in God (mom and dad are catholic). When I was younger I went to church all the time, as I grew older and busier with work, school, etc. I was not able to attend church but am looking back and do want to go to church again especially now that my b/f and I want to get married. The thing is, I love tattoos and my mom and dad have learned to love me regardless of what I do (casual sex, tattoo, etc.) and I know that no religion is against tattoos or am I wrong?

Just recently, I found a tattoo that I want to get that has a very beautiful design of a cross and in the background and down below the cross, there is a tribal design. My cousin believes that this is a sacrilege act. She says that the lord was crucified on a cross and should be just that, no dragon, no tribal, etc. I believe that it’s just a matter of design but it is not a sacrilege act to get such a tattoo. She has a tattoo of the Archangel on the side of her arm, and I told her that if she believed that she is going to heaven because she has that tattoo, she is wrong. The real gateway to heaven is through God and nothing more.

Do you guys believe that this is a sacrilege act if I get the tattoo with a tribal design around it?

This question is not intended to be of any nature, harmful towards a religion, or anything like that so please don’t come with stupid answers or calling me a heathen, atheist or judging me because that’s not what I am looking for. I am looking for serious answers to my question.
A tatto DOES NOT change your body. Tattoo is considered art... and if I want to permanantely get art on my body, why would god be mad? I wont be allowed into heaven?
