Let’s put it simple, if you as a human being don’t like some food you simply dont like it, no matter if it is cooked here in America, China or where else. It is what it is,you don’t like it. If you get tattoos before coming to the Lord, he will forgive you, but if you are getting tattoos after being christian you would not make God any happy because HE DO NOT LIKE IT no matter if you are Jew or Gentile.
Don’t try to make God fit your vanity.

Wow! Im a 42 year old Christian woman and have been debating about getting a tattoo. I definitely believe and know that I am under the covenant of grace but Jesus came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it. I also believe that we are not to defile our temples by putting bad things in them or on them as stated in the new testament. I know also that whatever is not done in faith, is sin.”. And finally, I’ve been told that if you don’t have peace about something, then don’t do it. Therefore, my decision is NOT to get the tattoo. At least not right now anyway. My conscience is not allowing me to and until I am “fully persuaded” in my own mind, I simply cannot do it.

Why are people trying to justify getting a tattoo? I’ve got 3 tattoos from before I became a born again christian, and I feel guilt everytime I look at my tats. I’ve prayed about tattoos, and this is what I’ve got out of it: Use the tattoos as a reminder of what NOT to do. Not once have I heard any good feedback, through prayer, about getting tattoos. To anyone trying to say, “I’ve got my kids name on me”, or, “I’ve got a beautiful creature on my body”, think about what you said… You’re trying to manipulate the word of GOD to suit your needs. Do you think God the father has a tattoo of Jesus on him? Pull your head out of your ass, ok? We are made in HIS image, and HE told us very clearly NOT to get any markings, whatsoever on our bodies. There’s only one more thing I have to say about people… we are sinners, yes, we can repent, but did you really think about it? We will sin everyday because we’re humans; we were all sinners as soon as we were born, but when we’re born again, and we keep pursuing what our past selves would want, aren’t you reverting back to what you were before you were saved? The only difference is this: You can’t outsmart God, don’t fool yourselves. God will judge EVERYONE when we die, but isn’t it easier to save yourself money, follow what the bible says and quit lying to yourself? Getting a tattoo is like, slapping what Christ did on the cross, right in the face. It doesn’t matter what the tattoo means to you… what does that tattoo mean to God? And trust me, you can’t justify having bible verses on your body as pleasing to the lord, I have a cross on my leg that stares at me daily will regret… I’ve only had that feeling, on all my tattoos, since I’ve been a born again christian. If you need to have a bible verse that you love to represent, use your brain, memorize it.

In reply to Christine. Thanks for your comment :-) To go by the Leviticus law is to nullify the work of Christ. In Acts, the early Christians asked the gentile believers to abstain from sexual immorality and drinking blood. They agreed that was all the gentiles needed to follow of the law. Our "law" as gentiles is Christ. God bless!

God made it very clear that people that follow him, should not get
tattoo’s, or cuttings on thier body, its an insult to his creation.
Its beginings are in Paganism, and Nature worship, so its a spiritual
sin.

And if you get so called Christian Tattoo’s thats even worse, its an open
sign of Rebellion and Rebellion is the original sin.

I am so glad my children do not go to your campus! ‘Sounds as if you would say to them to do anything against God’s Laws written in Leviticus. Shame on you! You are teaching false doctrine! God says in His Holy Word;
(Romans 3:31) Do we then cancel out the law by faith? Absolutely not! On the contrary we uphold the law.
(Matthew 5:17 – 20) Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of of a pen, will by any means disappear from the law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Repent!

Well Leviticus 19:28 tells you not to get them! He is a forgiving God but why knowingly go out and do something when it’s clearly stated that its sin. The first tattoo was Cain and he was marked so people would no that God would judge him not others. The bible says your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit and for you to tattoo it up is like putting graffiti on the outside of your house. No one wants to live in a house that’s marked all over. But by Gods grace and mercy we are forgiven if we repent but we can’t continually sin knowingly or you’ll be turned over to a reprobate mind. Down through history tattoo’s have been used as a mark to show who you belong to. Belonging to YHWH you are marked by the way you live. Who are you marked by?!

I do have mixed feelings on this subject. I do have tattoos and I would like more. But I wasn’t exactly living in Christ when I got them. I will not go to hell because of my tattoos. I also won’t go to hell for eating bacon, etc, etc. But, if it isn’t glorifying God should I do it? And does he really want me to put a bible verse on myself permanently? I haven’t reconciled the dichotomy in my mind, therefore I haven’t added more tattoos.

Having said that, I must admit, if Christians are going to use the argument that tats are marring our temples, I challenge them to pay attention to what they consume everyday. Few people adhere to healthy eating and drinking habits anymore and I can scarcely believe that stuffing your faces with excess fat and sugar is honorable to your said temple of God. After all, tattoos aren’t responsible for heart disease, liver failure, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, kidney failure…I think you get it. No, the food and drink that we consciously and willingly consume day in and day out are responsible for it. Tell me then, how do you folks outwarding judging people with tats plan to answer for doing all of THAT to your temples?

Everyone agree that in the Old Testament, God forbid his people to paint there bodies. So if you did it was a transgression of the law of God. Now fast-forward to the Cross. We also agree that the Cross of Christ redeemed us from the law. Now, why do you want to go back to what God has set-us free from. I’m just saying…do what you please but God paid a heavy price for our redemption…lets give him more respect than this. Love you all, in Jesus Name.
