Yeah, I'm sure that's what god invisioned.
Okay I'm about to rant. Just fair warning. If you are easily offended don't read this, but if you annoyed by hypocritical-over-zealous-WWJD-bracelet-wearing-Christians, then enjoy.
My brother-in-law was playing in a church related softball game. I was there because I'm staying with my in-laws and they wanted to go see him play. So I went mainly so I wouldn't be rude. And there was this guy with a badly done 3-D tat of a cross. And my first thought was "Oh, god." And my second was "Exactly."
I'm sorry but I think cross tattoos are bad decision making at its worst. (I have nothing against tattoos. I'd like one my self.) I get it you're a Christian. Even if I weren't a recovering Christian (my step-dad's a minister-'nuff said), I would never get a tat of a three dimensional cross. Ugh, one it's disrespectful to your Christ-faith of choice, two if you're religious enough to get one your parents would beat the shit out of you (I don't care how old you are. In the south, there's just some things you don't do. Yep, it's that ass backward here.)
However, if your religion embraces tattoos, henna work, or other body art that is obviously different. I'm talking about Billy Bob the redneck who drank half a bottle of Southern Comfort one night and thought Jesus would love him to get some ink done of a Roman torture device. I know that to get it was his decision but what if in a week his life changes drastically for the worse and he decides there is no god.
