A Broken Heart

I have a tattoo. I got it when I was around 23 years old. I didn't know then what the Bible said about getting one. It breaks my heart now when I look at it. Thankfully, no one else can see it as long as I keep my shirt on, which I always do. I have checked into getting it removed, but it is so expensive, and would leave a big ugly scar. What can I do about it?

Thanks for writing. The biblical prohibition against tattoos refers only to Jews. If you are a Gentile, there is nothing wrong with tattoos. If you are a Jew, you are not required to have the tattoo removed.

Hope this helps.
