In the sabbath year/jubilee year when servants were freed of their debt to their masters, they could CHOOSE to stay with their masters and would get an ear or nose piercing to show their loyalty/willingness to stay subserviant....<br /> (My mom said I could get my ears pierced if I talked to the rabbi and still wanted to after. I got my ears and belly pierced.)</p> <p>BUT I don't have any tattoos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-have-a-tattoo#post-249301 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 09:09:10 +0000 mrs. bird 249301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love that HB has do many bird related tattoos! Mrs bird is pleased ;)</p> <p>@artbee: How interesting! I'm not Jewish, but I worked at a JCC and they always said no tattoos &amp; no peircings. It's cool that your temple is a little more relaxed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-have-a-tattoo#post-249293 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 08:59:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 249293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pink flower on the small of my back (18th birthday random "mistake") and a blue butterfly on my left foot that I love. It represents my cousin who passed away at 8. </p> <p>I have talked about geting something for my children, but I have no idea where I would want it, I think I would want their names printed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-have-a-tattoo#post-249289 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 08:58:08 +0000 Shimmer 249289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't but I've always thought about getting one for my kids! I'm a big chicken though - a nurse who is afraid of needles! Does it hurt? Do I just think I'm a bigger wimp than I actually am? lol</p> <p>I love it when tattoos have such beautiful art and meaning! My ex-BF from college got a serpent tattooed on the back of his neck just because his sister and her boyfriend did it! This coming from the guy who never wanted to be inked! Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-have-a-tattoo#post-249286 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 08:54:38 +0000 chopsuey 249286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: love the walk by faith tattoo!<br /> I have 2, looking to get 1 of them removed though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-have-a-tattoo#post-249283 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 08:51:45 +0000 ladyfingers 249283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this exact tattoo on my back left shoulder. Well actually, the artist added some shading and subtle variations where it looks even better! I knew I wanted a winged music note (I love birds and music) so two years ago I google'd "Wing music note" and this came up, and it was exactly what was in my head! </p> [attach=231/12/m8c6i9.344x292.tat.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-have-a-tattoo#post-249226 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 07:53:27 +0000 heffalump 249226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Maybe I should ask the rabbi..... but honestly I like not knowing the real answer because then I can tell my LO she's not allowed to have a tattoo because she can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery :) It worked on me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-have-a-tattoo#post-249224 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 07:49:19 +0000 JoJoGirl 249224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Ah yes..i think the tattoo thing is more cultural than 'because it says so in leviticus' or whatever. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-have-a-tattoo#post-249220 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 07:47:28 +0000 heffalump 249220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I'm pretty sure it's just a myth. It must be..... my mom let me pierce my ears, and that shouldn't be ok either if you're supposed to leave this world the same way you came! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-have-a-tattoo#post-249217 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 07:46:05 +0000 regberadaisy 249217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning to get one for M soon. I've decided it'll be a winding dragon with her english &amp; chinese name weaved into it. We've always said we'll get a tat for our kids. It's about the only thing I would want permanently on my body. My husband will probably get a dragon too for M.<br /> I'm trying to find a tattoo artist to design it for me.</p> <p>@cyndistar3: did that hurt??? That's one of the locations I'm thinking of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-have-a-tattoo#post-249215 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 07:43:47 +0000 JoJoGirl 249215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Wait, that 'you can't be buried in a jewish cemetary' thing isn't true after all?</p> <p>ETA: I just took to google - fascinating how people are divided on this topic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-have-a-tattoo#post-249214 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 07:43:01 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 249214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one.

So I've become obsessed with birds. We use the ceramic birds from our wedding on our mantel now. And we chose to do DS's room in owls.<br /> When/if we have a girl, we'll use the rest of our bird memorabilia in her room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-have-a-tattoo#post-249128 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 00:09:20 +0000 Sweet T 249128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a butterfly on my shoulder. It's beautiful, but I hate that I spent so much money on it and it hardly ever sees the light of day. I want to get one for DS, maybe a little giraffe. I'm undecided.</p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7121/7723093980_e7a7e52f61_n.jpg" /> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-have-a-tattoo#post-249116 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 23:51:12 +0000 mrs. bird 249116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do!
