In the Jewish faith, the body is the temple of god and to mutilate it deliberately in any way is a desecration and profanation of the image of its' creator.
I'm not saying I necessarily accept this myself, but it is Orthodox law. I have no tattoos myself, but it's out of personal aesthetic preference, not religious scruples. Errr! Circumcision. I guess like all religions the Jewish one is just as much full of its own foibles, contradictions and hypocrisies.
I don't get the tattoo thing, or why people would want to do it. People can go overboard and it is born out of negative mindset and image of self\body for the most part I feel. They don't look so good once the skin ages.
