There are a lot of religious people who say that people are not allowed to have tattoos because this is against the will of the Lord. When people place tattoos on their bodies, this may seem like they are disrespecting the body that the Lord has given them.
What the bible says about tattoos is located in Leviticus 19:28. It states, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourself. I am the Lord.” It is in the Old Testament where the statement about tattoos has been mentioned. There are no details about getting tattoos from the new testament. This can leave some people confused especially in the modern world that we live in right now. Tattoos are now meant to be symbols of events that meant the world to some people.
In order to know if you should get a tattoo or not, perhaps you can pray to God and ask God if what you are going to do will please him or if you have no intention to disrespect what has been given to you. Nowadays, people are given the free will to choose. As long as they will follow the footsteps of Jesus in doing good deeds, will tattoos still be a problem? Does having a tattoo mean that people are not good enough anymore in the eyes of God? It will be up to you to make a decision. Just remember that you should not do something you will regret later on.
