Is it okay to get a YHWH tattoo?

Asked by patg7590 (4608points) August 2nd, 2009

I am thinking of getting a tattoo “YHWH” shoulder-to shoulder accross my back, (using the hebrew letters of course). And i am wondering- is this okay? Is this blasphemous? I am a christian and I mean it as a sign of devotion and branding. I am pretty sure an orthodox jew would object, (the sacred name movement, G-d, etc….)

Could I get some (informed) opinions on this?

ps- I am not concerned about the arguments for/against christians getting tattoos in general, but for these letters specifically.

thanks
