Though I agree that as Christians we should not have tattoos as we are called to be different from the world, I would just like to point out that you have taken the verses from Corinthians referring to our bodies as being temples of the Holy Spirit out of context. They are referring to sexual promiscuity and have nothing to do with tattoos, smoking, drinking, drugs, and the like.

It’s amazing how the urge to tattoo oneself AFTER they are saved has BECOME such a big thing. When the bible clearly states that as a Christian you should refrain from looking like a HEATHEN.

People who are blind will never see. It seems this website is only up to criticise a specific opinion and no one else is able to say anything other. Please write that next to the topic next time, for then i will not have to read through shallow and self-righteous words from people who hide behind the internet. Getting fresh air will do wonders for your health. And education to divide the Word of God in the correct context would be advised. I do not think that anyone of you here that commented have their accredited doctorates. in theology, history, ext.. You would learn a lot, and then hopefully be able to answer when someone has asked a simple question of whether one can divide the law… And side stepping does not count. Hope all of you receive peace from Dad because it seems you are in need of it. I will not give another comment about this, because I do not want to waste my time on self-righteous thoughts. So please do not even respond.
Thank you
P.s loved the page on CRC of Ps At, thought this will be a positive website to get people working together to see an end to such evil, but it seems I was wrong.

I’ve fought with my weight all my life, don’t like the look of being prematurely grey and traditional eyeliner turns me into a racoon, looks I don’t care for. Therefore, I work out, color my hair and have eyeliner tatooed. Am I vain? Have I allowed myself to be dupped, influenced and misled by the world? I get my worth from the Lord, but will try to improve my health and stay appealing for my husband-to-be if so blessed.

wow, just read this statement. Can’t believe no one said anything bad about her comment?
What??? Is it okay to color your hair? Not sure where you get your hair color from, but as far as I know every one of the companies that make hair color supports animal testing.
In other words your supporting a product that supports the killing of bunnies (animal cruelty). Nowhere in the Bible says that it is okay to treat animals with cruelty or to kill them for pleasure or your own beautification.

Proverbs 12:10 Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast,
but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.

Exodus 23:5 If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying down under its burden, you shall refrain from leaving him with it; you shall rescue it with him.

1 Sam. 17:34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep sheep for his father. And when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb from the flock, 35 I went after him and struck him and delivered it out of his mouth

Just some verses. We are supposed to care for the animals, for God’s creatures, not support the companies who harm them.
I agree with the tattoos, it is bad for your blood or it can contaminate it or give you hepatitis. If you’ve ever donated blood you will see on the form that you can’t donate if you got a tattoo for around a year.
So if your parent or brother or sister gets leukemia or needs a blood transfusion and you just got a tattoo, then sorry, you can’t save them.

In this article:
Donating blood platelets or plasma has always been a noble pursuit to help those in need. In recent years, finding suitable donors has become increasingly more difficult, causing a drastic supply shortage. The American Red Cross has been encouraging more people to come forward, but a lot of willing donors are being turned away.
Determining your Eligibility
One of the reasons for this is because of the increasing popularity of body art – if you’ve had a tattoo or piercing within the last year, you are not eligible to donate blood in most states, according to their rules.

In reply to Bill. Ruoall No you are not doomed. But if you are getting tattoos while calling yourself a Christian I would question your Christianness.

Hi,
This is something I have been wondering about for a while now.
I have a tattoo, what now? Am I eternally doomed?

Of course not… and don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise.

I know, I also pondered and still do at the ‘dangerous statements’ comment.

Daniel, your comment is puzzling. Dangerous statements? I appreciate the thought, but if your mindset is not spiritually attuned, I don’t want your prayers.
