The endtimes are coming, or so I've heard. Best decide now whether you'd like your "Mark of the Beast" on your head or your hand. Which will be the fashion of the endtimes?
 
Fomr the first two lines, I thought that this thread would be about something totally different.

As to you question, it depends. What is the mark? Is it cool? If not, can 'my head' include under my hair?
 
No, I am avaricious. And proud, and gluttonous, and lustful, and angry, and slothful, and envious. All of which makes me a prime candidate for a leadership position in the Army of the Beast.
 
Where on the head? I mean, hand tattoos are kinda gang. But do we get options for placement on the head? I mean, it would look stupid on the forehead. But perhaps, if the design is tasteful, it could run down the side of the jaw, or maybe the cheekbone. How big is the mark? I know a guy with a tiny tattoo between his eye and his sideburn, it doesn't look too bad there. Back of the neck would be fairly mainstream, but of course that will impact your hairstyle.
 
I've often thought of doing something to the back of my neck, but Ihave such a messy hairline.

I could make an exception for the Mark of the Beast, however.

Apparently getting the laser hair removal thing for the back of the neck is increasingly common. It would cut down on the frequency of haircuts, as it's the back that looks messy first.

And, of course, it would make it easier to put a fun "Insert brain here" tattoo there.

Really? I would imagine so. When I was a stylist, we would do free touchups inbetween cuts, just for that reason.
 
A thought occurred to me. When the whole mark of the beast thing was written, was there any historical precedent for putting marks on one group of people to distinguish them from another group? Where did John get the idea that someone might go around marking?
 
What's the point of getting a mark?

As soon as they come out with the "real" mark, you know it won't take the counterfeiters any time at all to copy it and sell it for cheap on ebay. ;)

See, I thought of that, too, but then I remembered (with a distinct shudder) my own religious training on this subject:

The only ones who won't want that mark should be lapsed Christians who know what it signifies, and what it portends for them if they do take it. (Eternal damnation.) They won't want a counterfeit version, or any version, although there might be some who would sacrifice themselves and take it anyway so they can provide for those they love. Without it, you won't be allowed to buy or sell (although, and I'm serious, I guess that means God hadn't heard of the black market when he revealed all this to John).

Anyone who does want it will be given it freely, so there won't be any need to counterfeit it. Some may, according to Hal Lindsay (The Late, Great Planet Earth), be forced to take it, but Hal thinks God will forgive them.

The rest are intended to be martyrs for Christ. See, they could have gone to heaven in the Rapture, but they weren't right with God. So they got "Left Behind" (another book about all this end-times stuff), and now can only get to heaven if they are dedicated Christians when they die. Which will usually be by decapitation, because those who refuse the mark will be executed.

So, no; there won't be a huge counterfeit market, I wouldn't think.
