Tattoos and Jedi?

I have wondered, what is the temple's stance on tattoos, branding, and other body modifying practices? or is up to individuals to decide?

It's all good :silly:

There are many members here with tattoos, piercings etc etc.

Typically speaking, the Temple has an "it's your body, do what you want" policy.

Well, actually it's more of a "you are a unique expression of the universe in this instant" policy, but you get the idea.

I see thank you for clearing that up, I have a few tattoos myself and plan on getting more.

out of curiosity are there any forbidden or taboo symbols or imagery?

I'm guessing you have something in mind... but no.. the things you do to your body are yours to appreciate and/or live with!

I'm assuming this is comfring from certain Abrahamic religions rules, policies, beliefs on tattoos etc. For example, in the Jewish religion states if you have a tattoo you can not be buried in a Jewish cemetery. I do not know what the Temple's policy on tattoos, however I have not seen any. I personally have several tattoos, so if there is a policy, I'm screwed. Lol!

Hahaha no no no nothing like that just wondering because of the people I know have some risque images, and I know I will have to talk them about my change in religion and they may some interest in joining as well.

Again, your body is yours for as long as you're in it, but no one ever went wrong thinking very thoroughly about what is in the bounds of good sense.

Several of us have Jedi ink.

The temple has few policies and rules....

Mostly they concern with activities on the site...

I too have ink, and earrings... Been thinking of gauging up... But not sure the Mrs. will go for it, lol...

I doubt I will...

But maybe...

Nah...

Well....
