Let me start by saying I'm not a fan of tattoos.
We were at the local park with our grandson, just trying to get him to enjoy the swing, slides, etc when this wild looking woman stuck up a conversation. She too was at the park with her kids. They were several years older than my grandson, but they were just kids running, chasing, playing and of course laughing and having fun. This wild looking woman had dyed hair and was covered up in tattoos across her arms, back, legs, chest, I mean she was covered up. She looked like she belonged in the trailer park, honestly, she gave me the creeps. At first I was sort of standoffish, thinking I'm not here for you lady, I'm here for my grandson. Anyways, she turned out to be the kindest, funniest lady, laughing and cutting up and such. After we spoke to her for a while, her husband drove up to pick them all up. He too was covered in tattoos and looked like a convict. After they drove off, my wife reminded me of a guy we both know who'd dress up sharp, even attend church and lead the choir, preach at funerals and yet is currently being investigated by the District Attorney's Office for Child porn, Child molestation, sexual battery and a whole list of other stuff.
This really made me take a step back and rethink my assumptions about people. The folks who were all tattooed up were the normal ones, while the sharp dressed "Christian" was the one who'll be headed to prison upon his conviction for the 11 felony counts Paulding County has on him.
Talk about a case of being judgmental, I suppose I need to go re-read that section of the Bible.
PS" Neither me, nor my wife, nor my two adult sons have tattoos, but both of my daughter-in-laws have multiple tattoos.
