Tattoos vs. Purity?

A few weeks back, a friend asked about what he felt was a contradiction between yoga practitioners and the popularity of "spiritual tattoos."
"Aren't yogis supposed to be 'pure'?"

Here are my thoughts on the matter...
First of all, while the practice of purity (Sauca) is a tool we use in yoga, I wouldn't say yoga is *about* purity.
Yoga is about finding FREEDOM from the illusion of our separateness.
In addition, I believe that tattoos are a form of self-expression.  It's art!  There is nothing impure about getting inked (assuming you are having work done by a professional, of course).
I think repression and conforming to someone else's idea of beauty is much more detrimental to our peace of mind.
The beauty of our yoga is the lesson we learn about Divine Connection.  Male or female, tattoos or not, two legs or four paws, we are All ONE.

We come together through celebrating our differences. 

A great article on this and other spiritual misconceptions by Chis Grosso:
