Tattooed Jesus On Billboards Sparks Controversy In Texas (VIDEO)

Billboards emblazoned with images of a heavily tattooed Jesus Christ are causing quite a stir in a Texas city.....

"The message is a simple one, Jesus' love is transformative," Ashleigh Sawyer, media relations coordinator for Jesus Tattoo, told the Post of the campaign. "He loves us unconditionally and no matter what you've been marked with, faith in Him and love for others will transform us."

As an atheist, it doesn't mean anything to me, one way or the other but what do the christians here feel about this?

If it doesn't mean anything to you, why the fuck post the link and ask the question? Are you trying to stir up an argument just because of the hate in your heart?

Not for nothing, but wasn't Jesus the most Jewish of Jews and did everything Jews were commanded to do? Now, if Jesus strictly followed the law and part of that law said no tattoos, then why show Jesus with a tattoo? Might as well show Jesus eating a BLT and wearing a poly-blend hoodie and mowing his lawn on the Sabbath.

It sounds like emergent church stuff.

It doesn't matter if Jesus followed that law and said no tattoos, what the billboard is saying is that Jesus loved everyone, whether tattooed or not.
