Tattoos - what are your thoughts?

How do you feel about tattoos? Do you have any? From a christian perspective, do you think people should get them? Do you think that a person is less of a christian or are they going to hell if they have a tattoo? What does the bible say?

and appreciation for ART! that our creator has given us to express any way we see fit.

[mykedawg]

Our creator wishes for us to express our self's through mind, body and soul. when we are born we are given a fresh mind, body and soul. it is up to us to fill them with what we learn, like , love, and desire. we were born with a blank canvas for us to paint a picture of how we perceive our self's to look, act, and behave. our creator wishes to see how WE perceive life. we are merely recorders for data in God's files. Tattoo's are a visual statement of our inner artist and our love...

@AVIVAH4EVER You are wrong...thought christians weren't supposed to judge..

I just got my first tattoo, it wasn't anythin bad it was a phoenix on my arm with phoenix'05 and i got it for my 6 year old brother. I believe tattoo's are a way to express yourself or feelings for others as i have myself. I believe that body modifications do not change your character. I did it because i wanted him to know that i am willing to go through any pain for him. I love my tattoo and plan on getting more for others i love. I believe also people shouldn't be judgemental.

I personally believe getting tats can become obsessive, like when you see people tatoo their entire bodies, it must turn into some sort of addiction. The passage in the Bible (lev 19:28) is speaking specifically about a heathen/pagan practice of cutting/marking ones body to honor the dead, it's a form of necromancy. In my personal opinion getting a tat cuz you like the look of it & marking your body as part of a pagan ritual are two different things. That's just my personal opinion.

I feel so sad when I see Tattoos. My doughter has a little rose anbd my son a panther, but i feel sorry for them and wished they did not take the mark.

Warning ADOLF HITLER and TATTOOS have the same number 660. So, it MUST be EVIL.

Tell me Scutter, am I wrong ?

@NoFair0nez It also says we can't put gashes in our skin, meaning we can't have ear piercings. If you read all of Leviticus it also says we cannot wear clothes of different materials.

Despite what the crazy fundies say, I doubt that God will condemn someone into eternal Hellfire just for having a skull tattoo on your arm.

[lindamist]

i have that chain around my right arm as well, what does it mean? also i did here that there was other scripture concerning tattoos, do you know them. if however we do live by this law then it also tells us not to cut our hair or beard corrrect?

[karlsjr123]

a tattoo is a form of expression that is neither a sin or wrong in any way. the old testament, in my opinion, should not be used for arguing terms because it's the new testament and the coming of Christ which defines our faith. i honestly don't know much about the bible, but having tattoo in no way shapes the person you are. it instead reveals a part of you that you find important.
