Rendering Unto To Caesar: Man Sought After Running Out on Payment for a “Only God Can Judge Me” Tattoo

Police in Denton, Texas are searching for a man with a usual piece of identifying information: a tattoo reading “Only God Can Judge Me.” It was indeed the tattoo that is the cause for the arrest warrant: the man took the meaning to heart and ran from the parlor without paying for the tattoo.

It may be due to the limitations of space on his arm, but the bible makes clear that one must “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” In this case, Caesar wants payment for the tattoo and the courts will judge the non-payment. Of course, this felon may claim that the tattoo was warning enough, but I doubt that will be a very successful defense.

It appears however that this theme is quite popular and might require a line up of the divinely optimistic.

Sometimes tattoos make police work much easier as in this father and son combination mugshot. These characters are Floyd Bebee, 48, and his son Justin Bebee, 21, who were arrested last year.
