Our lives should be lead by the holyspirit. I just don’t see the holy spirit leading me to a tattoo parlour, but if i yield to the flesh I can surely end up their while claiming my faith as an excuse. Your body belongs to God let him determine what goes on it. If you had it before giving your life to the Lord then fine, but if you desire it now where did that desire come from? Is it from above or from below??? The influence does not come from Godly roots and unfortunately we are emulating ungodly people in their pattern of living. I pray that we can discern whether tattoos please God or our selves. Shalom my sister. I pray for you that you will excel in the knowledge of the one who called you for he is holy (set apart).
I disagree with this. I know MANY believers when it comes to tattoos and this passage (Lev 19:28) who say context is key and I agree context IS key! But with this passage we CLEARLY see tattoos stem from demonic roots. The word of the Lord does NOT change. We are called to be Holy and treat our bodies like His temple. At the end of the day tattoos is glorifying YOURSELF! You can have an “innocent” tattoo on yourself but you’re doing what your flesh wants. And as believers we know our bodies are not OURS it belongs to God! Ask yourself this if Christ was with you would He sit with you while you’re getting tatted? Lol I’m sure He’d have something to say.
I am with you 100% I also disagree (strongly) I myself have many tattoos covered right to the finger tips on one arm and a full sleeve on the other, their on my neck, back, legs, everywhere except my face. I got them all before I repented and I know I will be forgiven but I would never ever get another tattoo in fact I warn others not to get any and I also believe Leviticus 19:28 to be a direct command from God as the scripture follows through with "I am the Lord." Our bodies are holy temples and we should not be vandalizing them and soiling them with ink. As one lady once told me a long time ago "All tattoos are ugly because "evil" itself is ugly" she proceeding to say something like "if only these poor people would soil themselves with the blood and love of Christ" and she went on I don't remember the rest as I hadn't yet repented but it was really enlightening what she said and hit close to home because I knew what she was saying was the truth. Also that is a great way to put it that Jesus would not be OK with people getting tattoos, if he was here I would be on my hands and knees begging him to pls remove them for me lol.

Revelation says Christ has King of Kings Lord of Lords written on his thigh. And also that he has another name that no one knows but himself. Ntm it says he already has said name written on his garment so why would he have it written on him when it's already on his white garment? Probably because the garment is not apart of his body and he won't be wearing the same thing all the time. He probably owns many garments each with its own unique creativity, yet the names written on him represent his authority which is everlasting.
This is exactly why I want God to just erase my personality and use me like a robot, having free will is a fat load and this is evidence Why even be born if the only reason is to be a robot for God?? Human free will is a crock of crap and i call everyone who says differently is a lier

The question you should be asking is... Does it feel like tattoos are from The Lord?.. I've asked many people this before, and mind you.. I have many tattoos.. No, one could tell or convince me, that tattoos are from a good place.. or from the Lord. . Tattoos are a gateway.. or a door.. or what ever you would like to call an opening in your spirit.. and sometimes, you can't handle, what you invited though that door

In my opinion I think it would be okay, but you should have a positive message behind it. Like my mom's favorite animal is a butterfly and elephant but she also has cancer so I would get something to represent her because she means the world to me but not more than God does. In conclusion, yes it is okay for tattoos but be careful what you want on your body.
It's a yes and no situation, it is a sin, however, if the person who didn't know about this, comes seeking Christ, I won't be all over him just because of the tattoos, rather would go and help him seek Christ.
@@JoTokutora it's not on "loan only" because no where does the Bible talk about how my body is then returned to God and God repossesses it. I'm a child of God, I'm God's servant yes.

@@vegandollsI want to come at this from a friendly standpoint as a Christian who has tattoos and who currently at this moment doesn't know where I sit on whether it's right or wrong. When you say it's a verse that doesn't win anybody over my friend. Throwing the book in someone's face doesn't win, especially if they're not a Christian or if they're a baby Christian who isn't into the full context of Christianity yet, especially with the prevalence of protestantism nowadays where there isn't as much structure in the church. Even as a Protestant, we're not very orderly and that's part of why a lot of people like us, but it also allows a lot of deceit. And if you want to come at this, you have to be nice and loving like Jesus would be. Also by your same argument people will bring up the verse that says don't shave your beard or don't wear certain clothing. By that metric me shaving just a couple hours ago means I sined.
No it is not ok to get a tattoo. You are comparing apples and oranges. First you need to find out where tattoos originated and what is connected to. Blood letting and Idolatry is what its connected to. Last I checked idolatry is still wrong!!!
By that nonsense way of thinking, receiving any kind of medical attention is sinful since a lot of practices we use today stem from our understanding of primitive practices such as bloodletting.
Just because something is connected to idolatry does not make it idolatry in it by itself. For example I can bow down and worship false Gods, that is idolatry but that doesn't mean that because it's connected to whatever then that's a sin it's the complete opposite when we do it for the Lord. It's called perversion. I'm pretty sure that cutting yourself up for these reasons is not very good.. But a lot of people choose to tattoo things about the Lord. Now am I promoting tattoos? No. Because the Bible isn't clear on it especially when we read in context. So all I'm doing is showing why your argument can't stand. That doesn't mean that I'm saying tattoos are good.
You are doing it yourself, comparing apples and oranges. Idolatry IS wrong. If you are idolising the wrong scriptures of God it would mean you are idolising a god that is not God himself. Just as i would believe a false rumour about someone or simply believing or following an idol is the way they will always be when they perform on stage. The verse is from when pagan practices mourning. Egyptians were branded by their gods marking them as belongings to the pharoah. During these times there were idolatry of other gods. This is why "idolatry" is wrong (still is). They dont follow the true commandments let alone the true god.
Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
I believe if you came to God with tats no problem. I think if you're spirit filled and you get a tat for me this person can forfeit godly enfluence for myself but at same time gain it with a nonbeliever. But like you said god looks at the ❤ heart
Be careful of what you feel and what actually is. You’re assuming the role of God and adjudicating on his behalf. God is timeless…just because times have changed, doesn’t mean God does. Would God bless someone that has tattoos? It depends. If it was a sin committed long ago that you’ve repented from, that’s what God is concerned about. Also, ritual prescribed in the word are important but faith without works is death.
Tattoos were rites and ceremonies with which people expressed their sorrow at their funeral. The heathen did so to pacify the infernal deities they dreamt about, and to render them favorable to their deceased friend. God commanded that this must not be imitated by His people. His people, whom the God of Israel had set apart for Himself must not receive the image and superscription of these worthless deities, and therefore must not make cuts or prints in their flesh. Such practices were signs of rebellion against God Himself.
It is a ceremonial law for that specific time and people. It being abolished is crystal clear in the New Testament. By your self interpreted theology, men must not trim their beards, and we must not eat a medium rare steak. Even though Jesus Himself says it is not what a man puts in his mouth that defiles him but what comes out of his mouth (speech). I noticed that your beard is trimmed.
Point well-take on context, but that doesn’t apply. The book of Leviticus prescribes tithing - are you suggesting we shouldn’t tithe either? The Bible is full of warnings against sexual immorality, are we to assume that no longer applies?
I don't think that necessarily is comparing it well because in her statement it was referenced to a specific group of people that God was talking to. Or that God was prescribing that too. While we all know about the story of Sodom and Gomorrah being destroyed and sexual immorality is stated multiple times in the Old and New testament of the Bible as being wrong. And there's consistency for everybody for baiting them from sexual immorality. It's not a proper analysis if you will.
Not to mention she is still saying that getting a tattoo for Self-Worship or vanity and sinfulness is inherently wrong. And is still sinful or if you get it for idolatry I know people who have ruins because they're Nordic pagans. And those are absolutely demonic. But I have a cross tattoo matching with my sister that we both got with our grandmother's favorite verse and I later added roses to mine because I wanted to look better for Jesus. I felt like he wouldn't think it looked nice at the time so I got Rose's added. I wouldn't necessarily consider my motivations sinful, but I can see how the ACT could still be considered. Sinful. That's why I'm in limbo on what I view about it.
Rev. 19:16 “…on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.” When Jesus comes back he will have his name tattooed upon his thigh. Be like Jesus get a tattoo 👍🏻
Its all about treating your body like a temple and with love, last time i checked cutting your body up is not love or treating your body with love. Your harming your body, your destroying a part of your temple just to build it up again later.
God don't want you to have tattoos IN ALL CONTEXT. Out bodies are Gods property is loaned. Cherish it and care for it. Tattoos serve to practical purpose anyway. You want a Tattoo, get a temporary one, but do not damage something is not fully yours

I talked to god About it and I t I Told Him I know im Sinning Father God I Just Wanna represent you … My Tattoo Means Something To Me And He Knows… I Just Wanna Thank The Almighty ⚡️🫴🏾 Love You Heavenly Father ✊🏽

Tattoos are unequivocally wrong and contrary to God's design for the human body. The Bible clearly states in Leviticus 19:28 (KJV): "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD." This command is not a matter of belief, but a divine decree from the Creator.The human body is a sacred temple, not to be defiled or marked. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV) declares: "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." Tattoos desecrate this temple and show disrespect to its Maker.Those who have tattoos must repent and seek forgiveness from Jesus Christ. Repentance involves acknowledging the error, turning away from it, and seeking restoration. 1 John 1:9 (KJV) assures: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."Jesus Christ is not a religion or belief system, but the living Son of God who came to earth, died for our sins, and rose again. His existence is a historical fact, documented not only in the Bible but also in non-biblical sources. The transformation of lives throughout history and the fulfilled prophecies in Scripture testify to His reality.People must surrender their lives to Jesus Christ because He is the only way to salvation. John 14:6 (KJV) records Jesus' words: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." This is not a matter of choice or preference, but an absolute truth. Surrendering to Christ means acknowledging Him as Lord, repenting of sins, and living according to His teachings.The urgency of this decision cannot be overstated. 2 Corinthians 6:2 (KJV) warns: "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." Tomorrow is not guaranteed, and the consequences of rejecting Christ are eternal. Those who accept Him gain eternal life, while those who reject Him face eternal separation from God.
You don't know what you're saying. The biggest problem with Muslims is that they're not studied in Christian theology or church history. Did you kiss the black stone to hopefully have your sins forgiven yet?
You first. It is a ceremonial law for that specific time and people. It being abolished is crystal clear in the New Testament. By your self interpreted theology, men must not trim their beards, and we must not eat a medium rare steak. Even though Jesus Himself says it is not what a man puts in his mouth that defiles him but what comes out of his mouth (speech).
Something nice and tasteful, a cross with Gods image on one side, jesus's on the other and the holy spirit around all three It's an honor to have His likeness on my flesh, i know worshipping images is a sin so i won't worship my ink, however i will smile with joy whenever i see it It will remind me of Him daily, nobody is worthy to be on my skin, nobody but Him I will repent, a tattoo isn't an unforgivable sin, taking my own life is I am a fool in His eyes and Only He can forgive me
So you’re basically saying that, “well if this sin is legit then all the other sins that you do that you don’t think are sins…you have to consider those as sins too.” This is one of the most evil interpretation of scripture I’ve ever heard. You should NOT be advising anybody about biblical matters. At all!
I would definitely say do not let your own conviction lead u to ur decisions because if you want it enough you will convince ur self it’s ok. God makes it clear and simple he says don’t do it and then he never says to do it for him so if God don’t even want you to do it for him self why would u do it for anyone or anything

This is wrong. God told Israel that he had tattooed them on the palm of his hand in Isaiah 49:16. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. Also, see Ellicott's Bible commentary concerning this verse for clarification.
I don’t agree with the tattoo the hair cut and shaving around the beard is in the Old Testament the New Testament has new laws and I’m sure we should be allowed to shape up love the message
I know it's been 5 months but I have four tattoos. One tattoo is of my dog Lucky that I grew up with. I cried for 2 weeks when he passed away. He had saved me from suicide and I thought God sent him to protect me and above his picture is a verse from a song that helped me cope alot when I was depressed. I thought God had set to me. Then I have my dog buddy who I also grow up with who helped support me through that time. Then I got a matching cross that I have with my sister and it is some 23:1 which is our grandmother's favorite all-time verse. And I had roses added on to it to make it look much nicer and put together. All of these were motivated at the time in my mind for God and I thought it would be a good thing. I'm starting to see how that wasn't a good decision and how I influenced my mom and my sister to get tattoos and a few other folks and how I'm starting to regret that. Even though my motivations were for Christ, they may have still been sinful. But in my mind at the time I didn't understand that. So since you haven't gone through it and haven't really gotten the want for tattoos that comes when you get them cuz you just want more. It's very addictive thing. I would advise for you to not get those tattoos. There's a lot of things you can do for your parents. You can get a nice beautiful necklace, beautiful rings that have your parents names. You can get picture frames and things like that to commemorate your parents and how much support that they give you and so much love. A tattoo just isn't necessary. I hope this helps from someone who is in the same boat as you. Or that you would be joining the crew on the boat?. If you have any questions, I usually see my comments. I'm one of those people who rereads them.
Leviticus 19:28 is a direct command from the Lord.
It is NOT OKAY to get a tattoo as a Christian!
Amen
Hallelujah
I take it you follow Leviticus 19:27 as well

Exactly what I was thinking
God has a tattoo
You should not get tattoos, just think about any situation like this “What Would Jesus Do?” Would Christ get a tattoo no, should you get a tattoo, no.
“And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name inscribed, “KING OF KINGS, AND Lord OF LORDS.” [Deut 10:17]” - Revelation 19:16 AMP
Revelation says Christ has King of Kings Lord of Lords written on his thigh. And also that he has another name that no one knows but himself.

Throwing the book in someone's face doesn't win, especially if they're not a Christian or if they're a baby Christian who isn't into the full context of Christianity yet, especially with the prevalence of protestantism nowadays where there isn't as much structure in the church. Even as a Protestant, we're not very orderly and that's part of why a lot of people like us, but it also allows a lot of deceit. And if you want to come at this, you have to be nice and loving like Jesus would be. Also by your same argument people will bring up the verse that says don't shave your beard or don't wear certain clothing. By that metric me shaving just a couple hours ago means I sined.
This us a question that i get "Axed" so much 😂
They judge me because I have tattoos and they even tell me I will not make it to heaven because of the tattoos thank God that I see this message
No it is not ok to get a tattoo. You are comparing apples and oranges. First you need to find out where tattoos originated and what is connected to. Blood letting and Idolatry is what its connected to. Last I checked idolatry is still wrong!!!
By that logic please explain the beard trimming and meat eating because that makes no sense
By that nonsense way of thinking, receiving any kind of medical attention is sinful since a lot of practices we use today stem from our understanding of primitive practices such as bloodletting.
Just because something is connected to idolatry does not make it idolatry in it by itself. For example I can bow down and worship false Gods, that is idolatry but that doesn't mean that because it's connected to whatever then that's a sin it's the complete opposite when we do it for the Lord. It's called perversion. I'm pretty sure that cutting yourself up for these reasons is not very good.. But a lot of people choose to tattoo things about the Lord. Now am I promoting tattoos? No. Because the Bible isn't clear on it especially when we read in context. So all I'm doing is showing why your argument can't stand. That doesn't mean that I'm saying tattoos are good.
Wrong. Idolatry is literally bowing down and worshipping something in place of God.
You are doing it yourself, comparing apples and oranges. Idolatry IS wrong. If you are idolising the wrong scriptures of God it would mean you are idolising a god that is not God himself. Just as i would believe a false rumour about someone or simply believing or following an idol is the way they will always be when they perform on stage. The verse is from when pagan practices mourning. Egyptians were branded by their gods marking them as belongings to the pharoah. During these times there were idolatry of other gods. This is why "idolatry" is wrong (still is). They dont follow the true commandments let alone the true god.
Luke 6:45
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
Thank you! Please keep on posting your videos on RUclips as I don’t watch tik tok. Thanks.
Tattoos are connected to Idolatry and witchcraft thats what makes it wrong
I believe if you came to God with tats no problem. I think if you're spirit filled and you get a tat for me this person can forfeit godly enfluence for myself but at same time gain it with a nonbeliever. But like you said god looks at the ❤ heart

Be careful of what you feel and what actually is. You’re assuming the role of God and adjudicating on his behalf.
God is timeless…just because times have changed, doesn’t mean God does.
Would God bless someone that has tattoos? It depends. If it was a sin committed long ago that you’ve repented from, that’s what God is concerned about. Also, ritual prescribed in the word are important but faith without works is death.
Tattoos were rites and ceremonies with which people expressed their sorrow at their funeral. The heathen did so to pacify the infernal deities they dreamt about, and to render them favorable to their deceased friend. God commanded that this must not be imitated by His people. His people, whom the God of Israel had set apart for Himself must not receive the image and superscription of these worthless deities, and therefore must not make cuts or prints in their flesh. Such practices were signs of rebellion against God Himself.
Context is definitely key in reading and understanding God's holy Word. Well said, Cassie.

If u accept jesus christ as ur savior u cannot tatoo anymore. It is a sin if u know christ n tatoo again. Do not hear the lies of rhe devil.
It is a ceremonial law for that specific time and people. It being abolished is crystal clear in the New Testament. By your self interpreted theology, men must not trim their beards, and we must not eat a medium rare steak. Even though Jesus Himself says it is not what a man puts in his mouth that defiles him but what comes out of his mouth (speech).
I noticed that your beard is trimmed.
Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Would you paint graffiti on you church building?
Point well-take on context, but that doesn’t apply. The book of Leviticus prescribes tithing - are you suggesting we shouldn’t tithe either? The Bible is full of warnings against sexual immorality, are we to assume that no longer applies?
I don't think that necessarily is comparing it well because in her statement it was referenced to a specific group of people that God was talking to. Or that God was prescribing that too. While we all know about the story of Sodom and Gomorrah being destroyed and sexual immorality is stated multiple times in the Old and New testament of the Bible as being wrong. And there's consistency for everybody for baiting them from sexual immorality. It's not a proper analysis if you will.
Not to mention she is still saying that getting a tattoo for Self-Worship or vanity and sinfulness is inherently wrong. And is still sinful or if you get it for idolatry I know people who have ruins because they're Nordic pagans. And those are absolutely demonic. But I have a cross tattoo matching with my sister that we both got with our grandmother's favorite verse and I later added roses to mine because I wanted to look better for Jesus. I felt like he wouldn't think it looked nice at the time so I got Rose's added. I wouldn't necessarily consider my motivations sinful, but I can see how the ACT could still be considered. Sinful. That's why I'm in limbo on what I view about it.
Rev. 19:16 “…on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.” When Jesus comes back he will have his name tattooed upon his thigh. Be like Jesus get a tattoo 👍🏻
Its all about treating your body like a temple and with love, last time i checked cutting your body up is not love or treating your body with love. Your harming your body, your destroying a part of your temple just to build it up again later.
Why would God say it’s okay to engrave something pretty much permanent on our bodies if it isn’t so good for us health wise?🩷🤍
Everything good can be unhealthy to our bodies when abused. Do you eat food with added sugar or prefer your meat medium rare?
God don't want you to have tattoos IN ALL CONTEXT. Out bodies are Gods property is loaned. Cherish it and care for it. Tattoos serve to practical purpose anyway. You want a Tattoo, get a temporary one, but do not damage something is not fully yours
It is a ceremonial law for that specific time and people. It being abolished is crystal clear in the New Testament.

You don't get tattoos
I talked to god About it and I t I Told Him I know im Sinning Father God I Just Wanna represent you … My Tattoo Means Something To Me And He Knows… I Just Wanna Thank The Almighty ⚡️🫴🏾 Love You Heavenly Father ✊🏽
Yeah nah tattoo is a sin ! Clear as day I’m getting mine removed when I got it done I was young but I was fully aware it was wrong
Its not a sin, clear as day. It is a ceremonial law for that specific time and people. It being abolished is crystal clear in the New Testament.

@@Saiyan585 thanks brother I some what agree but it scares me hell fire so I wanna get rid of my tattoo regardless
Tattoos are unequivocally wrong and contrary to God's design for the human body. The Bible clearly states in Leviticus 19:28 (KJV): "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD." This command is not a matter of belief, but a divine decree from the Creator.The human body is a sacred temple, not to be defiled or marked. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV) declares: "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." Tattoos desecrate this temple and show disrespect to its Maker.Those who have tattoos must repent and seek forgiveness from Jesus Christ. Repentance involves acknowledging the error, turning away from it, and seeking restoration. 1 John 1:9 (KJV) assures: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."Jesus Christ is not a religion or belief system, but the living Son of God who came to earth, died for our sins, and rose again. His existence is a historical fact, documented not only in the Bible but also in non-biblical sources. The transformation of lives throughout history and the fulfilled prophecies in Scripture testify to His reality.People must surrender their lives to Jesus Christ because He is the only way to salvation. John 14:6 (KJV) records Jesus' words: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." This is not a matter of choice or preference, but an absolute truth. Surrendering to Christ means acknowledging Him as Lord, repenting of sins, and living according to His teachings.The urgency of this decision cannot be overstated. 2 Corinthians 6:2 (KJV) warns: "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." Tomorrow is not guaranteed, and the consequences of rejecting Christ are eternal. Those who accept Him gain eternal life, while those who reject Him face eternal separation from God.
I HOPE PEOPLE ARENT "AXING" YOU... SO DANGEROUS...
LOL.. YES I KNOW YOU MEAN "ASKED"
Biggest problem Christianity.
Christian does whatever comes to their mind or heart' because they believe Jesus Peace Be Upon Him Died For Their Sins
You don't know what you're saying. The biggest problem with Muslims is that they're not studied in Christian theology or church history. Did you kiss the black stone to hopefully have your sins forgiven yet?
Leave the Bible interpreting to those who are called and have been sent by GOD! Please! Thank you.
You first. It is a ceremonial law for that specific time and people. It being abolished is crystal clear in the New Testament. By your self interpreted theology, men must not trim their beards, and we must not eat a medium rare steak. Even though Jesus Himself says it is not what a man puts in his mouth that defiles him but what comes out of his mouth (speech).
Yes it is a sin cause if look into the history it was started by pagans and heathens and it’s still associated with them till this very day
bible interpretation is an art, no two are alike, perfect example this young lady, and pretty much anyone that draws "wisdom" from ambiguity
Something nice and tasteful, a cross with Gods image on one side, jesus's on the other and the holy spirit around all three
It's an honor to have His likeness on my flesh, i know worshipping images is a sin so i won't worship my ink, however i will smile with joy whenever i see it
It will remind me of Him daily, nobody is worthy to be on my skin, nobody but Him
I will repent, a tattoo isn't an unforgivable sin, taking my own life is
I am a fool in His eyes and Only He can forgive me
So you’re basically saying that, “well if this sin is legit then all the other sins that you do that you don’t think are sins…you have to consider those as sins too.” This is one of the most evil interpretation of scripture I’ve ever heard. You should NOT be advising anybody about biblical matters. At all!
I would definitely say do not let your own conviction lead u to ur decisions because if you want it enough you will convince ur self it’s ok. God makes it clear and simple he says don’t do it and then he never says to do it for him so if God don’t even want you to do it for him self why would u do it for anyone or anything
My mom has a ∞ tattoo is it ok? I want my mom and my whole family to be with me in heaven if i get in heaven... Wish my love ones were there.. :(
It literally says or tattoo marks😂😂😂 people at this point just make something from it because they want it to be true💀😂

how about temporary tattoos?
it would actually be glorifying G-d NOT to disobey a law that was meant for ALL His people.
Take this down false teaching down!
This is wrong. God told Israel that he had tattooed them on the palm of his hand in Isaiah 49:16.
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
Also, see Ellicott's Bible commentary concerning this verse for clarification.
Imagine someone getting that verse literally tattooed on their skin.

Is it ok to put my parents names on
I know it's been 5 months but I have four tattoos. One tattoo is of my dog Lucky that I grew up with. I cried for 2 weeks when he passed away. He had saved me from suicide and I thought God sent him to protect me and above his picture is a verse from a song that helped me cope alot when I was depressed. I thought God had set to me. Then I have my dog buddy who I also grow up with who helped support me through that time. Then I got a matching cross that I have with my sister and it is some 23:1 which is our grandmother's favorite all-time verse. And I had roses added on to it to make it look much nicer and put together. All of these were motivated at the time in my mind for God and I thought it would be a good thing. I'm starting to see how that wasn't a good decision and how I influenced my mom and my sister to get tattoos and a few other folks and how I'm starting to regret that. Even though my motivations were for Christ, they may have still been sinful. But in my mind at the time I didn't understand that. So since you haven't gone through it and haven't really gotten the want for tattoos that comes when you get them cuz you just want more. It's very addictive thing. I would advise for you to not get those tattoos. There's a lot of things you can do for your parents. You can get a nice beautiful necklace, beautiful rings that have your parents names. You can get picture frames and things like that to commemorate your parents and how much support that they give you and so much love. A tattoo just isn't necessary. I hope this helps from someone who is in the same boat as you. Or that you would be joining the crew on the boat?. If you have any questions, I usually see my comments. I'm one of those people who rereads them.
