Jesus is Modern

Jesus’s face is tattooed here against an upper arm of someone who must have thought that Jesus was modern. It is certainly one of the more unique Jesus tattoos that I’ve seen. The face is drawn against a soft background, with the details patterned on afterwards in a series of circles that act as pixels – in a dot-matrix fashion. Dot matrix is how older printers used to draw text and images – in an table of pixels. The unnecessary largeness of each pixel immediately leads one to think "retro technological", a popular style found in the fashion industry.

I’d like to think that the person wearing this Jesus tattoo wants to tell everyone that he doesn’t think that Jesus and Christianity is a collection of dusty scriptures written in a land and time that are not our own. I think that this modern imagery of Jesus’s face here is telling us that Jesus is timeless. Jesus Christ’s lessons and his actions in his own time are cool and hip even now, in a very basic sense. He is “cool” now not because of his death on the cross, but rather the ideas that he had. His lessons were something for the future, not a relic of the long forgotten past. In that sense, Jesus then was much more modern than we are now – even now.

Stop judging, that you may not be judged.
For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.
Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?
How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye?
You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 7,1-5.
