Catholic Church in Germany is offering free tattoos in order to get someone into the church

The diocese of Osnabrück wants to talk to people and make them curious about the Catholic Church. An unusual event will therefore take place on Saturday in the Johanniskirche in Osnabrück: After a joint service, visitors can have a tattoo stabbed inside. The motto of the day: "When faith gets under your skin."

In order to be tattooed at the tattoo service in Osnabrück, an appointment had to be made in advance. If you got one, you can have a Christian symbol stabbed on the forearm or calf on Saturday.

But spontaneously determined people still had the chance to make short-term appointments. You can choose from motifs such as crosses, a dove of peace or a flame.

At the event you want to talk to the visitors. "Experiences are associated with the tattoos, for example grief or solidarity, that is, life stories. We hope to have a dialogue about this, "explains Martina Kreidler-Kos, head of the pastoral department in the diocese.

But the same thing happened in Austria last year.

I understand that it would have to be a religious tattoo so if they would have sprung for something like in pic below I might be even tempted:



Small symbols don't cut the mustard.


Just joking. I can pay for my tattoos and I certainly wouldn't like to support international pedophile ring called catholic church.

My back piece took 2 1/2 years to finish, and wouldn't be popular in any of their(my old) churches.
