I'm sure I won't be the first person to write about this story, nor will I be the last one. I'm only writing because I just happened to see it not too long ago, so I might as well have a go at it.
The gentleman pictured above, decided to let the world know about his feelings on homosexuality by tattooing the Bible verse Leviticus 18:22 (which speaks against the act) on his arm. I'm sure there's more to the story as to how he came about that decision, but since I don't know what it is, I won't get into it. However, to quote the verse via the New International Version (I usually read the King James Version), it says:
Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
However, I'm sure someone should have pointed to him (or maybe has by now) that he should have kept on reading through to Leviticus 19:28 which states: (American King James version)
You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks on you: I am the LORD.
In summary, that verse forbids tattoos; I don't think that it can get clearer than that. When you're reading the Bible, you don't "pick and choose" what you'll obey and what you won't. I don't think I need to explain any further.
