Dear Friends

It is a belief , If everything seems Anti-Gurmat.

Then we should do the following :

Those who want to be a Purest of Purest Sikh Should Visit a Desert :

Sit There with gloomy Faces,
Stick a Tape on the Mouth so that neither good words nor bad words can be spoken.

Plug the Ears Nothing could be heard
Plug the Nostrils , so that while breathing the viruses or bacteria not enter , as it will be ..........
Tie a Black Cloth on your eyes so that nothing can be seen ........

Plug your back so that no bad thing could be eased out .

Plug all your exit parts ............

Do Nothing , Speak Nothing , Hearing Nothing , Listening ...........

Now , Nothing will be against any Religion ..............

False.

Unless of course, the tattoo is going in a secluded area of the body.

Sorry, gonna play the devils advocate for a mint.

Keeping your above statement in mind, so then why did the Guru Ji's adorn themselves w/jewelry?

Also what about jewrly in and on the turban? How do people choose a turban colour, is just the first one I found this morning like socks, or do we colour co-ordinate?

If we do the latter why? So that we look good, present ourselfs better? Look majestic like Sikhs of older times?

Again, please show me where God tells me I cannot get tattoed, where God tells us that it goes against Gods will? Other wise I see it as no differant from wearing smart cloths, or doning a fancy turban, or wearing makeup, or jewlry

YOu are right Dear Lee that God never tells us where we cannot get tatooed or anything else.

It is constantly said that we should respect what God has gifted us .

Did God Gifted us with Clothes ?

To those of you who have gurbani tattoos, how do u clean ur bum

I think tatooing a khanda is totally wrong, because you shouldn;t go against the khalsa if you want to wear a symbol of the khalsa. Ek ONkar is slightly different because it representes the oneness of God.

i dont think a tattoo is that bad its no worse that the amount of make up that many sikh ladies use.and certainly better than the amount of gold that you see hanging off a lot of british sikhs. if the tattoo is to show others that your a sikh whats the problem with that, if its to glam yourself up then u should think about something less permanent
