Tattooed Jesus on Texas Billboard Has Residents Talking
http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/tattooed-jesus-texas-billboard-residents-talking-214214393--abc-news-topstories.htmlA billboard showing a tattooed Jesus Christ has stirred up quite a bit of buzz in the heart of the Bible Belt.
The ad, which is the work of the website Jesustattoo.org, popped up along a West Lubbock, Texas, highway, and it's got people talking. It shows a man, ostensibly Jesus Christ, with outstretched arms tattooed with such words as "Outcast," "Addicted, "Jealous."...
On the website, a video casts Jesus as a tattoo artist and shows several tattooed individuals approaching him to reveal their sinful markings. A woman with "Self Righteous" tattooed on her chest and a young disabled boy with the word "Outcast" tattooed on his body come forward....
Over the course of the six-minute video, Jesus goes to work on the plagued tattooed victims and changes each shameful or negative word or phrase into something positive. The woman in the video breathes a sigh of relief when her tattoo is transformed from "Self Righteous" to "Humbled." The young disabled boy shows pride as he goes from "Outcast" to "Accepted."

Tattoos and Jesus in the same thread!
I'm on the pro-tat side of that one. 
I find this particularly 
-worthy because of the biblical quote provided.
I'm a pro-tat person myself.
