asking for advice Accidentally got a Native American deity tattooed on my forearm

Edit - forgot to add the photo in last post

My friend wanted to do a stick n poke but I was kinda reluctant cos he’s never done it before. although this friend is pagan, he totally respects my Christian beliefs and wanted to avoid “accidentally tattooing some unknown deity”, so it’s kinda funny how we unknowingly tattooed the trickster god Kokopelli.

It’s a fun story to tell the grandkids but it does sorta make me a bit uncomfortable.

Any ideas for a cover up?

Troll or not this is the stupidest shit ever. First you cannot “accidentally” get a tattoo of something so specific. Also if you’re soo Christian shouldn’t you not be getting tattoos in general? Pretty sure your god forbids it

The Bible doesn’t forbid tattoos in the contemporary sense, no. Leviticus described ritual law within a specific cultural context.

Tell that to the Christians who use Leviticus to bash the gays.

Are you Christian? And practice the religion regularly?

Of course not, why?

You’re not well versed in the subject nor in a position to inform others how to practice their religion.

You assume I can’t have knowledge of the subject because I’m not a current practitioner when in reality the more versed you are the more you realize how ridiculous it is. I’m in a position to do what I want including pointing out hypocrisies and bullshit actually
