Religious tattoos prevent masturbation
Posted by Julene on September 11th, 2009Over the weekend I happened across an article from the Dallas Atheism Examiner about Brian “Head” Welsh. If that name doesn’t ring a bell, start thinking 90’s nu-metal groups. Deny it all you want, but I know you’re at least quasi-familiar with the band KoRn. Only a super-fan might be acquainted with the fact that Brian “Head” Welch left the band to handle his drug problem and get in touch with God a few years back. I could summarize the events that transpired, or you could watch this interview he did with CNN back in 2005.

I have no problem with either of those things, for the record. What I do find interesting is his continued heavy use of guy-liner and his faith-related tattoos. I keep trying to find the words to appropriately express my thoughts on this quote:
“For example, the Jesus tattoo on my hand keeps me from masturbating and I haven’t been with a woman since my ex-wife left me almost five years ago. I go to those extremes to be like Christ and it works for me.”
Welch published his autobiography, Save Me from Myself: How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, and Lived to Tell My Story, last year and is currently on a solo US tour.

His right hands says “Jesus” but his left hand only says “Love.” So if “Jesus” keeps him from masturbating then I guess “Love” just doesn’t do it for him. Here is the link to his visit to LA Ink: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WOnoOskWDY
Dude’s apparently never read the Old Testament:
“You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD.” Leviticus 19:28
Fuck Nu-Metal, fuck religion, fuck this clown.
cheers to that, Justin.
Haha, relax, Justin… You’re the jerk-off here.
