As far as I know they have never banned or attempted to ban this ancient art practice on human skin. certainly there are designs of tattoos which are obscene ( I saw a copy of one which had a nude Russian Princess being crucified upside down while a poisonous snake makes a beeline for her Private Parts- and the initials ( in Russian ) K G B somewhere on the design- found on a Soviet political malcontent- that is obscene and sacrilegious at the same time- on the other hand a nice wartime separation and faith type of tattoo- a somber but attractive woman looking on as a neatly drawn destroyer makes for deep sea patrol- that is neat art that would past muster with say, American Heritage- if done on our side. it is all in the making- Subject matter could render some tattoos obscene- see the fascinating and rare book- Russian Prison Tattoos, the author was a doctor for- you guessed it, the Police agency.

Why can't Mormons have tattoos?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) can have tattoos, and many do. However, Mormons believe that they should respect their bodies as sacred gifts from God and thus church officially advises against tattooing, even in places such as New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, and Africa where tribal tattooing is common. There is no penalty for having tattoos, it is simply "advised against", and many Mormons having very visible tattoos are faithful, active members of the church.There are some more specific rules for Mormon missionaries who have tattoos. If someone with tattoos applies to be a missionary they need to try to keep these tattoos covered while proselyting. For many this means wearing long sleeves, even while going door to door all day in the summer heat.Here are some links to images of Mormons with tattoos:Al FoxThis guy tattooed Jesus and all the Mormon prophets on his backRen and Bryan KasikNikki YasteMormon has tattoo surgically removed so that he could be a missionary (news story)

Why can't an Episcopalian from high church receive Communion in a Catholic church?
Roman Catholic AnswerAn Episcopalian, regardless of his persuasion (high church or low church) is still a protestant, even if he likes the more Catholic ceremonies of the high church. Holy Communion in a Catholic Church is restricted to those who believe as a Catholic and are in a state of grace (have been baptised, and have been to confession). An Episcopalian is not Catholic, and does not believe as the Catholic Church does. If he does believe what the Catholic Church does, like everyone else, he must attend RCIA classes and be legitimately brought into the Church at the Easter Vigil. Having been a "high church" Episcopalian myself, I know of what I speak!
