I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine the other day and a subject came up that was quite unexpected. They were thinking about getting a tattoo and wanted to know what I thought about it. Really, they were wanting to know if the Bible says there is anything wrong with getting a tattoo. I fumbled around with an answer and tried to rack my brain with a scripture but nothing came out that made sense even to me. Obviously it s not a central doctrine of the Bible.
Tattoos are wrong.
Man, now I was messed up. Surely something is wrong here. Since there is no strong biblical New Testament stance on the subject, I think we re gonna have to use our common sense and be led by the Spirit of God. First, let's look at why someone would do it and why someone wouldn't do it. First, they would not do it as a fashion statement.
