Well, here's the story.
Around three years ago, in class, I was playing around with my brand-new pigment pen [black, uni pin, water and fade proof, .2 tip] when I accidentally pierced my lower palm with it.So in my hand was a tiny black hole: with a mixture of black pigment ink and blood gushing out of it.
The wound has healed now, but there remains tiny yet faded black dot: a remnant of my carelessness.![]()
Here'a s picture:
It really isn't a tattoo, but I guess in principle, it could be... I think.
And I won't get a real tattoo anyway.

A reason why people with tattoos are usually rejected as blood donors is not that "their blood isn't clean because it's got ink." Actually, the real culprit is the popular belief that people with tattoos are more likely to take drugs, smoke, and have STDs and other such "blood impurities".
Injustice? You be the judge of that.

The Bible isn't an only source for rules. Teachings of the Holy Fathers are also
referred to. The logic in my church is that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. We are not to draw upon them or pierce them.

Yeah, that's definitely true.
A person without a tattoo is more likely to get the job.

Well I wish I could find some statistics but I would bet that there are correlations between social status and the rate of tattoos for each group of people. (Maybe I'm wrong but I can't seem to find any statistics on this.)
