Is it wrong to wear anklets or have tattoos as a Christian?

Question

It's controversial, ankles aren't a permanent body modification so I think the intent is where the importance is, if you aren't using it to be seductive then it's only a style of fashion, if you are using it to be fetishized then I'm sure you know how that can be considered a bad intent, as for tattoos, the Bible only speaks against the markings of the body used to worship other gods, which back in the times the people used to use tattoos to worship other gods and use tattoos for rituals, some people still do like tribes and stuff, one can argue all day long about how God sees tatting, but one thing that is mentioned in the Bible that points more against then anything is how God says you should harm your body as it's the temple of God, you poking and tinting the layers of skin I'm sure can surely count towards that.

I know of nothing in Christianity that frowns on anklets or tattoos, let alone bans them.

1 Timothy 2:9‑10 instructs women to “adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty and self‑control,” not with costly attire or elaborate hairstyles, but with “good deeds” appropriate for those who profess godliness.

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

No, maybe it’s better than being a casteist that most Christians are hence they have a rigid caste system. Each race represents a caste and no, they don’t treat all equally. Very often they ask your caste to calculate the amount of respect to give you

It isn’t automatically wrong for a Christian to wear anklets or have tattoos. In the Bible, the verse people quote against tattoos (Leviticus 19:28) is part of Old Testament ceremonial laws for Israel, not a universal rule. The key is your heart, motives, and whether it causes you or others to stumble. Pray, seek peace in conscience, and avoid anything that becomes prideful or idolatrous.

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

Sounds pretty darn clear. All skydaddy nonsense is made up but it is always funny how the religious try to spin everything in their favor.

AngryCarl3 · Answer

Tattoos are specifically prohibited as are all kinds of bodily modification. The Bible throws shade on anklets but there's no specific prohibition that I'm aware of. If a Christian woman wore an anklet I'd be surprised.

Of course if you're a Born Again Christian and you have tattoos already you're stuck.

i've seen a fair number of christian girls with tattoo's , some have crosses or quotes on there side ribs , i'd say its actually fairly common for those girls to do that. is some who of course don't have any but does seem like its more common to be inked now than before

WhitneySnow · Answer

Not at all, though the Jewish faith does teach that wearing tattoos is against God’s will (I think; someone who was actually raised Jewish can feel free to correct me).

Fuck all that religious crap, it's your body to do as you please.

Billlewis · Answer

Although I've always found tattoos patently stupid, I have a hard time believing that they, or an ankle chain would be a violation of a person's faith.

schere · Answer

I don't know if this is considered wrong from a Christian perspective, but as a Muslim, I'd like to give an example from my own religion. We believe that our bodies ultimately belong to God, so we shouldn't harm what God has entrusted to us. However, everyone's interpretation of their religion can be different.

I don't see what one has to do with the other. Do you think Christ is gonna come back and give you a serious noogie?

slatyb · Answer

No, that's absurd. There are 40,000 Christian sects. Pick the one that lets you do what you want.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

I don't know about tattoos, but why would anklets be taboo? It's just jewelry. This is the first time I heard that

The only thing that stops you is really you. You can do good you can do bad but whatever you do there will be consequences.

This is entirely for you to decide even as a Christian.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

You can wear anklets but no get tattoos as God's word says not to mark your skin with tattoos. Only a idiot gets tattoos.
