Now I read the blogs of a few of the guys who have done this and I don't believe they used the person as the gimmick but that someone in church is getting a tattoo. I think these people who got tattoo's got what they wanted not some sermon or series graphic or church logo. But to say all that I think we need to watch how we exploit people for our own gain in any situation. Chris, I agree we shouldn't make a habit of using humans as a gimmick.

I've seen and been present at churches that have artists on stage painting or doing other creative types of things on stage during teaching times. As someone with a tat, I don't have problems with with people who do or churches that use it as a creative element during their message. I think it could be distracting with the buzz from the needle and depending on who is getting the tattoo their facial expressions might be more interesting than the message. Not in a bad way but it's another gimmick, which we all use them or wish we did. It's a way to create buzz around your new series and to get people in the door, which are not bad things as long as we make the most out of every opportunity and not skimp on preaching the word of God.<br><br>You asked for our opinions, what's yours?
