Russell Moore on the Wisdom of a Teen Getting a Tattoo


Russell Moore has a great response to a question about whether or not a teen should get a tattoo. You can read the whole thing here.


His conclusion:


"One more thing: a tattoo won’t stop you from wrecking your life, no matter what it says. The rebellious heart gets what it wants, and will do what it takes to get there. An immoral man can easily scoff at the tattoo, or even blaspheme as a result of it in the throes of his rebellion. Instead of working to embed the gospel on your skin, embed it on your conscience. Cultivate repentance, confession, and seeking the life of Christ. The answer for you isn’t your own skin ink but Someone Else’s nail scars."
