Of all the reasons I can think of to not get a tat, quoting the Bible is about the least compelling to anyone who is even thinking about doing it. And saying your kids won't do it is pretty naiive. Kids can't legally get tattoos and by the time one can do so, they're no longer a kid.

However, I recall a Curb Your Enthusiam episode where Larry's recently-departed mother could not be buried in her grave plot because it was discovered that she had a tattoo on her rump. Conversely, I have known a few Holocaust survivors, who were Jewish, and made no attempt at all to hide the numbers on their arms. Others might even have seen those tattoos as a badge of honor. Everyone can rationalize anything one way or another, which makes any argument other than personal preference pretty weak, IMHO.
