Leviticus 19:28 “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.”

Being tattooed also means you cannot deny your faith if a muslim
demands to know if you are a muslim or a Christian.

A lot of copts in Egypt have the “N” for “Nazarene” (”Christian”) tattooed
on them. They are marked permanently; which shows a lot of commitment and courage.

Lev 19:28:

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

[Jamestown1630]

I see so many young people with elaborate tattoos these days; and I wonder how those are going to look over the coming decades, when stuff expands, or droops and falls.

Not the greatest way to worship the Lord, IMHO...I think He would rather have our love for Him tattooed upon our hearts and minds.

Tattoo: a permanent reminder of one’s temporary insanity.

19:26 Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

19:27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

Blech! I hate this whole tattoo craze. Everyone wants to be unique. Just like everybody else.

I especially hate seeing a lovely young lady in the prime of her beauty, and then see a big ugly tattoo all over her arm like some fat truck driving slob. So sad.

With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo.
But it’s a real beauty,
A Mexican cutie,
how she got here I haven’t a clue.

I truly do not understand how Christians can ignore what is stated as clearly as the verse in Leviticus. Friends, while yes, it is true God accepts us the way we are. But, He does not leave us in that condition. He expects us not to be conformed to the world. So, if you are tattooed prior to becoming a Christian, there it is. But, afterward, please do not do so.

Tattoos won't keep a person from heaven. Yet, it really should not be done.

Leviticus 19:28 “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.”

[MacNaughton]

I recall reading a few years ago a commentary by Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY, about the Jewish law in Leviticus regarding tatoos. FWIIW, he said that this particular law (1 of 600+ in the Old Testament) was a ceremonial law for the Jews, not a moral one for Christians.

Tattoos are considered by traditional Christians to be idolatrous.
