My oh my
Are people that clueless or just uptight?!
When the commentator wrote "cool" he or she did not mean "oh, that's amazing. I'm running to get one too with 770 on it!"
It was "Cool" as in "that's funny/weird to have a wall wrapped around on arm"
And yes, we all know that a tattoo is against the Torah. Every kid learns and knows that. So calm down.
All this picture is showing is the diverse kind of Jews Lubavitchers engage in on Mivtzoim, people who otherwise would not have been offered to do a Mitzvah; That we put on Tefillim even on such a tinok shenishba.

Shocked
Is this really appropriate to post publicly? Especially without a disclaimer that this is a Torah prohibition?

May be, find an other address...ketovet (ka'aka'a)
Strange that the thrill as to come from a anarchistic and antinomic expression of an individual that is so far that he does not know that for dorot and dore dorot jews were called 'limpie de pelo i sangre' 'pure of blood and skin' as the opposite of the Castillian ymsh 'limpiedo de sangre'. However l'kaf zechut, fix the miss and teach the proper way to look at things, with a building reinforcing observance of the Jewish laws and customs. ELUL, any ledodi vedodi li, Hashem should have rachmanut on our deceptive out look on his beautiful creation,

y'all
what is AMAZING/OR OF INTEREST is that a seemingly not frum jew sports such a tatoo at all1 no one is kashering it or advocating it

may be he is a goy?
It is says a 'man', may be non-jewish. Is tattoo forbidden for goyim too?

Baal T'shuva embarrassed by own tatoo
There is a story, long ago, about a Baal T'shuva (maybe Ger), who, before he became Frum, had a tattoo. He went to the mikva, and noticed stares, which made him very uncomfortable. An elderly Chasid finally calmed him by showing that he also had a tattoo (a number from the C. Camps).

Tefillin Booth
Did he also tattoo the Tefillin stand that is at the Kosel? If he did, he would have put his real Tefillin on his Tefillin booth :-/

The Tattoo Artist's Motto
I once saw a t-shirt on a man, who looked liked a graffiti mural, that read:
"The body is G-d's temple, our job is to put on the wallpaper".
Looks like this guy took it literally.

Gabi will get tefillin on it!!!!
If there is anyone in the world who can get tefillin on that Jew -ITS GABI!! Even Reb Yitchi was amazed by how many tefillin Gabi got in the pretzel every friday on mivtzoyim. Mazel Tov to gabi and Akiva p Boruch.
