>religiously inappropriate tattoo
why's that?
Hebrew?
On a scale of chill to autistic screeching, how upset do you get when a random Sup Forumsster replies "I'm a goyim"?
Tradition dictates that Jews do not write the name of God, except in the Torah. Even in English, Jews observant of this practice will write "G-d" instead of "God", for example.
In Hebrew, the name is usually replaced with "elohim" or "adonai", as appropriate.
Tattoos are routinely forbidden.
>לא תתנו בכם. אני יהוה.
>Do not tattoo (lit. mark) yourself. I am God.
That's not to say Jews didn't still tattoo themselves. It got to the point where some rabbinic authorities said that you were only forbidden from tattooing God's name on yourself and others said that any tattoos were straight up not allowed. The latter opinion was followed but pretty much every single Jew would think this isn't appropriate or acceptable. Even Jesus would have thought you were an aspie or idiot if you did this.
now why would i be upset about that?
with no flock the shepherd has nothing to herd
ok.. but that tattoo says 'I'm that I'm', right.
k.. so the whole process of tattoo is fofrbidden.. not the meaning of those particular words.
He means that it's grammatically incorrect

Not necessary if you're on a computer. Computer typing isn't writing because it's not permanent. Your screen has a refresh of at leas 60hertz a second which means that every frame it is redrawn. Plus, web pages get created, destroyed, and modified all the time.
Furthermore, you can't write אלוהים or אדוני or any holy name on a parchment if it is planned on being shredded up or discarded later. You totally can write יהוה outside of a Torah script. You just can't shred it later on. Those documents need to be "buried" which usually means digging them a literal grave or throwing them into a huge vault. The Qumran scrolls were disposed of by leaving them in a cave.
No. That's a different phrase entirely. That image also uses the wrong letter twice:

The image says יחוח instead of יהוה.
