Tattoos

Are tattoos sinful? How does the Lord view them?

Obviously putting a goat head on your back is a no go, but what if I wanted something like a tree or a name of a loved one?

My assumption that it might be a bad idea is that we are attempting to make improvements to the Lord's work which is something I wouldn't want to do, but is that statement accurate?

Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you.

Straight to the point, this is why I love you guys. Thank you.

According to Catholicism, Eastern and Oriental Orthodox it's not inherently sinful and can be used a sign of piety.

Appreciate the input, but I'm a good christian lad and have full intentions of getting into heaven.

Yeah it was pretty much a gentile practice in the eyes of the ancient Hebrews so they probably sought to differentiate themselves from it and avoid it. It is still practiced by some near eastern peoples today and has been until recent periods.


I mean with the special dispensation things like sculptures acquired you can see how it could come to be overlooked as well.
Anyone who has become immersed in the faith might not want to be too keen on it though.

Come on

It's just a derivative of Nabataean Aramaic and quite aesthetic at that. It's also distantly related to the Greek and Latin alphabet.

Coptic Christians have been getting tattoos for literally thousands of years as a sign of their faith under Muslim rule and Christians have been getting tattoos as a sign of a complete pilgrimage but I'm sure your personal interpretation is the true way and the one God agrees with.

Well Copts and their ancestors were probably getting tattoos for thousands of years before that so that might be one reason.

leviticus also says not to eat pork user

That proscription has been interpreted to have been lifted even though some classical Churches are said to avoid pork too.

The issue with tattoos however is that it allowing one tattoo for any reason could than grant permittance for other markings and potentially cause one to be led through a road of carnal self idolatry i.e. worship of your own flesh.
If it's for commemoration of something couldn't you find some other way to do it. It's also very likely that the drive for getting them is largely for showing off which is pretty much something that should be avoided religiously speaking.

Temple graffiti ; degenerate.

...

Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, so treat it like you would a temple.

non-traditional tattoos are garbage. just using your body as a billboard. since there's no tradition of getting tattoos in Christianity you shouldn't get any

You are in my prayers, I hope you find salvation. No one deserves hell, but degenerates aren't allowed in heaven.

Its the mark of the heathen and the degenerate.

On the contrary everyone deserves hell but God is merciful
