The bible also forbids eating seafood, pork, unclean animals, etc. Forbids wearing golden jewelry, forbids shaving your head, forbids wearing garments with mixed fabrics, and plenty other things are forbidden in the bible thay ultimately get ignored. So if we get to pick and choose. I choose to ignore the ruling on tattoos as well. I also choose to ignore the whole book in general but thats besides the point.

I really don't thing that will decide weather you get to heaven or not. I'd like to think there's digger issues that determine that.
It depends on some things I don't really want to talk about actually.

Your grandparents grew up when having a tatt was very literally the sign of war or prison, unless they were Mauri, then obvs not. But still, entering that phase of life, in those cultures that tattoo'd their people, made them a whole sht load closer to death. Taking the Mauri's or the Gauls or the Celts for example, if they were male then about 14/15 they got a tattoo and were 'warrior' cast, females were 10-12 and then just legitimately married off and became pregnant. So the point is that a tatt casts an aspersion of death. Superstision YES, but it follows generationally. Ask Yourself, how long is 100 years when you're gonna die at like 30.
There is legit nothing you could do to remove the forgiveness you received as a gift from Christ, short of not wanting to be forgiven.
God is going to judge you in what you did right in your life, not what you did wrong. That's what forgiveness is, it's the oppertunity to refocus your life to doing good for God instead of avoiding evil.I think it depends on the content of the tattoo, someone once told me they could be a lack of wisdom sin. Having a tattoo of something diabolic, or something provocative because your body is sacred. I'm a catholic and I have one tattoo, its a sunflower and it has a deep meaning for me. But I probably won't get another tattoo. Because even though I like it a lot I appreciate more the beauty of an inkless skin. But that's just my opinion.
The Bible even says women shouldn't have braided hair and y’all Christians be having that so who cares at this point
Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.
1 Timothy 2:8-15
y'all religions folk do whatever you please and the things you don’t like are automatically sins.God gave you your body in his image, altering or destroying it is infidelity to the temple that God gave you to spread his glory and wisdom. Even if you get christian themed tattoos, you're flaunting your faith which is also infidelity.
Since heaven and sin are just terms of an overblown fairytale, I don't think you have to worry about that. I would worry more about how it looks on old saggy skin with faded colours. If you have a pentagram on your forehead or you have a butterfly on your ankle makes quite a bit of difference, I would think.
It's just a skin art. As long as it's not controversial and it doesn't affect anyone. I don't think you're bringing your tattoo with you when you're gonna get eaten by maggots or burned to ashes if you die anyway. Assuming we have a soul, those tattoo artists must be so talented to even tattoo our souls.
Who's to judge what's inappropriate? I mean do you hear yourself? -- Don't you think personal expression in the form of body art is probably low on the totem pole for your 'god's' criteria for entry into his magic castle? I mean come on.
Do you realize Jesus himself has a tattoo on his body, if God is ok with his son having a mark tattoo why not us mortals. Just to let you I think tattoos look stupid, but my opinion. If you like them then they look fantastic.
I was taught by my religious parents that yes it is because your body is a temple and that by getting a tattoo it's as If you graffitied a temple. But it is one of the more minor ish sins.
The Bible could not be more clear about God’s dislike of tattoos.
See Leviticus 19:28 and Deuteronomy 14:2.
Tattoos are utterly unacceptable to God.Look at Paul who prosecuted many people of the early church and killde them, he didn't have a tattoo, but a sin is a sin. God found him and was able to use him for his purpose.
A tattoo doesn't matter, everything that matters is what is in your heartProbably, I heard people say "god has made you perfect". So changing it and making it maybe "less" perfect in their eyes is probably a sin.
But I've never read the bible.the only reason i don't have any tattoos is because i would be stuck looking at it for the rest of my life and if i were to get it removed it would leave bad skin scars on the part of my body where it got removed. the skin would be extremely disfigured looking
Tattoos are not a sin... and what does that mean provocative or inappropriate? My Playboy Bunny tattoos are not preventing me from getting to Heaven !
1) I don't believe in heaven.
2) If you want a tattoo, be my guest, it's your body.No I don't see tattoos as a sin, but I don't see them as an embellishment either,
But I have seen beautiful women who got hooked on being tattooed and it detracted from their beauty.The bible talks against them, but I would say because you do that, you do other more serious things that sends you to hell.
Just don't go putting satanism on your skin and you're fine with tattoos
No. Even the primary passage used against tattoos is really a reference to marking one's body as part of ancestor worship.
