Whenever Lori Alexander of The Transformed Wife says something so incredibly toxic that the better part of the online world sits up and says ‘Say what?’ she doubles down harder on her words. The more toxic the idea, the harder she repeats herself. This is certainly true of her ideas on tattoos. Third piece in a week with the allegations that tattoos and body are a sin. She thinks that men will judge you as being sexually available (easy/slutty in Lori-speak) if you have tattoos.

Remind me to show Lori the big old battleship tattooed on my chest. Just kidding. Maybe.

For a change Lori starts out sort of mild, talking about her growing conviction that tattoos were wrong, but that if you already have a tattoo and have repented of this sin that it’s all good. You will not be treated differently by her or others. But then she goes into blaming Christians for following worldly fads and getting tattoos. She shares this scripture:

Hmm, sounds like this can also be interpreted to say that having pierced ears for earrings is a sin as well. Which includes Lori and a million others. Be careful when you start extrapolating modern rules from bronze age books.

Lori follows her scripture with admonitions about how women are to be modest, shame faced, unnoticed. Then says she will not judge someone for having a tattoo. I don’t believe her. If anything Lori has shown us is that she is overeager to judge everyone. It’s the entire point of her life and her Christian path, judging.

She goes on to list the possible health risks of getting a tattoo. Fair enough, there are possible complications, which is why every tattoo parlor I’ve seen makes you sign a release and insists you be over 18 to get skin art. But here we go, Lori’s shaming and blaming bit:

While I will admit I’ve snickered and speculated what guys with extreme tattooing like Motley Crue will look like once they hit 80 it’s never once crossed my mind that tattooed ladies mean more sexual freedom. I have to hope that Lori’s claims about this come out of the same place as the rest of her objections — from the fact that she’s almost in senior citizen territory, that it is generational. I remember my father saying that the only people that get tattoos are sailors and whores, his words not mine, that indicate he was still stuck in his generation.

This is just another one of those things that is seriously only the business of the person gettng or not getting the tattoo!
