What does The Bible have to say about: " Tattoos "?

An interesting example of A Christian Tattoo.

As ( so frequently ) happens these days, I often have to look no further than My Own Email Inbox to find a subject that is worthy of truthfully addressing. Such as quite honestly happened this morning, when I actually discovered an interesting email from Tom Brown Ministries in El Paso, Texas.

Meanwhile, of course, the tagline simply read: " What Does The Bible Say About Tattoos? "; and being more a product of Berea [ that means: " The Well-Watered Garden " ] than that of Thessalonica [ which means: " That Dry, Barren, And Rock Strewn Land " ], I just couldn't stop myself from clicking upon his own link to that article.

And, indeed, Here's The Interesting Response That I Found....

" Bible Answer: The main passage that is used by some Christians to forbid tattoos and body piercing is Leviticus 19:28: "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.” Sounds like a clear prohibition, doesn’t it, until you recognize this is part of The Mosaic Law that the believer is not under obligation to follow. Before one uses this passage to forbid tattoos, they should take a look at the previous command: “Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard” ( Lev 19:27 ). I haven’t seen many Christians with uncut beards, have you?
 
The issue of tattoos and body piercing falls under The Category Of Disputable Matters mentioned in Romans Chapter 14: “Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way” ( verse 13 ). Now simply because you feel like there is nothing wrong with tattoos is not a reason to put one on you. I do not personally feel anything is wrong with a Christ-centered tattoo, however, I know it might offend others for me to have one, so I refuse to even consider it ( of course I hate needles too ).
 
Someone at this point might argue, “Well, I just think that God is absolutely against us putting tattoos on our body, because our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.” Well I understand your position, but remember, according to The Book of Revelation, God will put his name and number on our foreheads. So, even He will put a mark on us.
 
Marks on bodies have signified for centuries what kind of person an individual is. In The Book Of Revelation there were some that had the mark of the beast which signified the kind of people they were, so God counters and gives His mark to His servants to show the righteous character of His people. In the end, no doubt, a Christian should only have a Christ-centered tattoo if he is going to have one. " - Tom Brown Ministries ( TBM.Org ).
