Tattoos

Pinned Image

     Well I am not a fan of tattoos.  First of all, I don't know of anything I would want on my body forever.  One time in Mexico, they offered henna tattoos, which are temporary.  I thought about it but I couldn't think of anything that I would want to be on me even for a few days.  Secondly, I am not into elective pain.  Tattoos are a permanent scarring of the skin and that has to involve pain on some level.  Thirdly, if God wanted a certain design on my skin, then He would have arranged my freckles accordingly.  Fourthly, the Bible says not to do it.
     Tattoos are a popular trend at the moment.  If you want to make a forever statement, then use your body as a living example for Christ.  Your actions and attitude speak louder than a tattoo that needs to be explained.

     Leviticus 19;28   '‘Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.''

  2. Good post, Angie. Somehow people don't see this as a problem. It just seems to me that that verse is enough to say, "Don't do it!" But I have lots of friends and loved ones who think it's okay, and even have tattoos. Thankfully the Lord won't keep them from entering into heaven because of them. But I agree--who would want to allow someone to hurt them for no reason at all?
