Hi, Perg!

Actually if you look up the words (Strong's 5414 and 7085) they are "print" and "tattoo".

Modern practicing Jews have an interesting take, in that they say it was/is forbidden as your body is on loan.

BTW, when I was in PNG we were in an area where the old women all had missing joints in their fingers. I was in my young 20s, and it really freaked me out; if figured it was some sort of gender related disease or something. Then I found out that when a man died, his female relatives would bite off one of their finger joints so show sorrow. They didn't want his ghost to think that they didn't mourn his passing enough!
Best
Tim
