Amare Stoudemire, a professional basketball player and practicing Jew, has a Star of David tattoo. In an article at ProBasketballTalk, Kurt Helin calls this tattoo "ironic." But he links to a well-researched article that does not clearly define whether or not Star of David tattoos or tattoos in general are in fact banned in Judaism.
What is the current perception of tattoos in Judaism and does that perception change based on the content of the tattoo?
Is Amare's tattoo indeed ironic?
