No it's a sin. In Leviticus the Bible forbids placing any type of mark on the body.

good thing the Bible is just a book.
-
Ever read Revelation? There are multiple times that indicate God himself has tattoos.
-
God also created the human race
-
That's also where it says that if a woman has her period she has to bring 2 turtles to a temple so she can be clensed. Oh and anything she sits on or touches is considered unclean. Just saying.

Edited by Unanimate Objec: 7/22/2016 11:04:38 AM*cracks knuckes* Time to get dirty. In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul says "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not" 1 Corinthians 10:23 If you read the New Testament, Jesus went around the place, not condemning sinners, but the religious rulers instead. Jesus knew that the Pharisees were living a life of absolute hypocrisy, demanding others rise to live a sinless life while they themselves living in unspeakable evil. Master Chief's name and callsign come into play here. John 1:17 says "The Law came through moses, but grace and truth come through Jesus Christ." Jesus said the Law (Leviticus/ Governmental legislation) was meant to expose man's inherent evil and need for a savior. Here's where things come full circle. By knowing and believing Jesus Christ, all things are allowed. Everything. Potential for abuse there, right? Here's the kicker: People who believe Jesus understand some things aren't beneficial to them. Who wants to be eaten alive by their conscience? But when Christ came, he fulfilled the law and became the last sacrifice. The law was no longer needed, because man no longer needed to sacrifice offerings when the last offering was sacrificed. There's a tendency to twist what he's done and place rules on things that are no longer rules, but held together by grace. Jesus said "The Sabbath day was made for man, NOT man for the Sabbath." Placing rules is worse than the freedom of living by God's grace. The religious leaders seriously screwed up and placed bars on people they themselves could not reach. Christ's desire is to have EVERYONE believe. If that's the case, do you think he'll approve or reject my tatoo of a Bible verse about hope for the suffering. When I share the verse, do you think he cringes when nonbelievers here HIS WORDS, or do you think he says "Well done, good and faithful servant"? Faith isn't religion, it's relationship. To kick people out because they're passionate about ink on their body is short sighted and cruel. Jesus died and rose again for the ungodly. That's everyone. And if the goal is to share the Gospel, more artistic methods are better than less. Period.

If you take every verse of the bible literally, you sin multiple times a day anyway. Leviticus especially.
-
Yes and I punish myself every day for that.
-
It also says you can't shave so throw out the razor.
-
Already done.
-
Same here. Haven't shaved completely since October 15th, 2005 but not because of religious reasons. I just look damn good with a beard and I'm lazy.
-
What if I were to get that passage from the bible tattooed on me? Boom, mind blown.
-
Still a sin.
-
Fair enough
-
The Bible forbids a lot of things I'm sure you do anyway. Also, how many Jesus tattoos do you think are out in the world?
-
Too many. Sinners.

-Shrugs- to each their own.
