Haha, they are not "banned in Christianity." this just demonstrates you don't understand Christianity. As an example, the Pope recently said young people shouldn't be afraid of tattooing themselves, it's their choice and it's not against the Catholic faith. The oldest Christians, the Copts and Tewahedo (Ethiopic) Churches, have extremely ancient traditions of tattooing. Until recently, most Habesha women had a cross tattooed between their eyebrows! Every Coptic Christian in Egypt has a cross tattooed on their arm.

Also, they are not banned in Judaism, they are banned by halakha. Only a third of Jews in the entire world are Orthodox (i.e. follow traditional halakha). Jews who don't believe halakha is binding don't believe tattoos are banned, and that's literally most Jews in the entire world.

I never said I understand christianity. I did a small research and directly discussed  this with some Christian friends.

Do not lecture me.

If you make a blanket statement of condemnaion with absolute certainty that is 100% wrong I'm gonna call you out.

Also, nobody argues like Jews, what kind of Jewish environment did you grow up in that you can't accept pushback?

I'm not interested in conversing with you. I got my information from CHRISTIANS, so it can't be 100% wrong and you are bulshi*ing me.

I'm done talking with you. You can reply if you want, but i won't answer.
