It's like a crime to have tattoos in Judaism, but not a crime in Israeli law or anything. And because a lot of people around here are religious they may get angry if they see someone with tattoos. Despite the fact that it's really none of their business, haha.So is Judaism against tattoos in general, or does this only apply to jews in Israel?

yeah man, I thought it would be nice to create some threads that are just a question, so everybody can share their answers with everybody. Definitely mixes things up a bitNice Q and A threads you have going on recently, man. Mixes things up a bit. I don't have any, don't really think highly of them or want any. Once in a blue moon I think I might sort of almost like one sort of....then I just think of what it would look like when you're old a wrinkley.
I don't know, man, I was obviously not alive back then and my grandparents aren't holocaust survivors. But no, I don't think there was anything to do with tattoos back then. I also kinda hate to talk about this subject because of how sad it makes me just to think about it. I'm an irreligious jew but my heart is with all of those that died back then.Does it have to do with the fact that Jews got tattooed against their will in the camps during WWII?
YEAH. Definitely. It's mentioned somewhere in the bible that it prohibits to draw on your body or whatever, and tattoos are like drawing on your body so yeah.Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe it is a religious thing that prohibits Jewish people from getting tattoos. There's a line in the Bible somewhere about getting marks on your skin, that kind of thing. SL would know more about this than me... but yea.

HOwever I must say that I'm not religious so I actually can have tatoos on my body. But I just don't want it, not that I'm not ALLOWED to have it.
But in World war 2 there were numbers that JEws were forced to have which is kinda like drawing on their bodies. It wasn't considered as a tattoo back then but it was like drawing on your body which the bible prohibits.
