My Jewish friends tell me that having a tattoo will prohibit one from being buried in a Jewish cemetery. I assume that this prohibition doesn't apply to those who were tattooed by the Nazis in prison camps.

I never paid any attention to this until a few years ago when one of my friends' daughters was wanting a tattoo and her older sister assured her that her mother would disown her. Not sure if it's religious prohibition, cultural or (as is often the case) both.

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...
