Will my non-offensive tattoo prevent me from joining a religious order?

Lily asks:

I was wondering if religious orders have anything against tattoos.  I have one (non-offensive) on my arm--would this be a conflict?
 
Thanks for your time!
 
~Lily

Dear Lily,

Of itself, a non-offensive tattoo would not be a reason for a religious order to turn down a vocation. However, individual orders may have their own criteria so I would say that you should pursue your interest, and once you find a particular order that you think you may be called to, it would be a question of asking them if it is a problem. 

God bless,
