I think that Jesus isn’t going to damn you to hell if you get a tattoo..I am a Christian by faith, but not practicing right now. I have 7 tattoos and will without a doubt get more and im not at all worried about getting into heaven because of them. The bible was written in a totally different time and some of the stuff in the bible was meant for the people from that time. So with regards to the tattoos I wouldn’t worry too much. But who the hell am I to give biblical advice..lol This is my personal opinion, but if your really that worried I would consult your pastor, preist etc..for the answer. Someone who knows the bible inside and out and can give you real piece of mind. Good Luck..

Well…

Leviticus 19:28: Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the Lord.

It seems pretty clear…but if you take that into it’s full context, then you also have to consider this…

Leviticus 19:27: Do not trim off the hair on your temples or trim your beards.

Given that…is it meant to be taken literally, or is everyone who gets a haircut a sinner?

Answer #3

Answer #4
