Back in fifties and sixties, seeing a man with a tattoo was a little rare.  Women with tattoos were almost unheard of.  Only pirates and women wore earrings.

For tattoo artists, business seems to have picked up.  I can’t imagine them fighting over the competition.  Nowadays, men without tattoos are getting rare and it appears the women are trying their hardest to catch up with them.

I guess it’s not my business.  However, if I were hiring folks to work for me, it just might help me in determining who not to hire.  Some might object to me not hiring folks with tattoos, but some of my customers might not like tattoos running up and down a woman’s arm.  As a side note, there are some folks who find it unappetizing to be served by someone with a ring hanging on his or her nose or lip.

Certainly, I do not see that any tattoo brings anything to any business.  It also tells me something about how the person plans.  If they think of their future, they just might realize that the wonderful tattoo just might make it difficult to find it a little more difficult to find a respectable job.

All that aside, I have wondered just why all of a sudden all the increase in disfigurements.  I mean, why all of a sudden the change in morals?  What purpose do they serve?  What has made them so important? Indeed, some will fight desperately for permission to get a tattoo, even though they know it is virtually permanent.

I am familiar with all the childish reasons, to be different, to fit in, to attract attention of that special other person.  I am sure there are a few I left out.  Oh. Yes.  “I just really liked it so much.  I felt it would look so great right in the middle of my forehead.”

Here lately, I think I am starting to figure it out.  It’s not totally new.  There are many who have thought about it before me.  I do believe I’ve managed to connect some of the dots.

There are some that believe that the tattoos will have something to do with the sign of the beast spoken of in Revelation, in the Bible.  I have been told by those that would know that it would be possible to put a unique bar code on the hand of every person on the face of the earth.

Without going into all the details, this would solve most of the worlds crimes problems.  No ID thefts.  No need for credit cards.  No credit card fraud.  It goes on and it really does sound like a good idea, but for one thing.  Satin will be behind it and he will use it for his purposes, to take total control of the world.

A few decades ago, it would not have worked.  Most would not want a tattoo.  Now it is different.  The vast populous would hardly think twice about it.  People are getting used to tattoos, for almost anything by almost anybody.

Hence, the stage has been set.  When Satin is ready, most people will be ready for him.  Most will take his mark.  However, some won’t.  For those that don’t, it will become a very hard thing.  Without the mark, buying and selling of anything will be at the least, nearly impossible.  That means no food, no shelter, no anything.

For those of us that have been saved prior to the rapture, we will not be faced with the problem.  We won’t be around to see it. I think it is a good reason to seek salvation.  It is a good reason to talk others into seeking salvation.

The part about the tattoo is speculation and I have been told not to speculate much about the Bible.  Right or wrong about the tattoo, there will be a mark of the beast.  You can read about it yourself in Revolution.  Better to be saved now, before you find out if my speculation is right.  No real benefit to stick around to find out.
