Hey everyone, I was just wondering what some other people were thinking about Christians getting tattoos. I have been a Christian my entire life, and I have two tattoos (until I get more money lol). One being a memorial for my father, and the other being hands praying with the words "By His Wounds We Are Healed."

In Leviticus 19:28 it warns against tattooing, but did you also know that this entire chapter was about warning the Israelites (with whom God had a covenant with) to not be like surrounding religions? If you study this passage further, what it is really talking about is to not tattoo like false religious practices.

What are your thoughts?

Oh, and lets keep the argument to tattoos that are morally acceptable... of course we are all going to agree that getting a "Satan Rocks" with a pentagram tattoo is probably not a good idea...

The best info I have found on this and other Bible-based questions is at:
