WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT TATTOOS?

by Betty Miller

The Bible warns us against tattoos in Leviticus 19:28 (Amplified) which says, “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord.”

I know some will have a hard time receiving this teaching because tattooing has now become an accepted practice in our society. However, just because society approves of something does not make it right in God’s eyes. Our society at large, also approves of abortion and divorce as well. However, the Bible makes it clear that God doesn’t approve of these things.

In sharing this teaching, I am not trying to condemn anyone who already has a tattoo; but rather to warn those who are considering getting one. God loves us, and even when we make mistakes in poor judgment, He doesn’t condemn us, but rather tries to help overcome the consequences of those mistakes. Having a tattoo will not keep anyone from serving the Lord. We know some very godly people who have tattoos and are serving the Lord and their tattoos do not interfere with what God is doing through them. Anything Satan tries to use for evil, God can turn and use it for good when we commit totally to Him. God takes us as we are and uses us if we will yield to His will. God will use any of us when we come out of the world and start serving Him with our whole hearts to do His will. Our past is under the blood of Jesus and the sins and mistakes of the past will not hinder our God in our serving Him. Only a hard and unrepentant heart keeps us tied to the old life.

There are many dedicated and sincere Christian people that have tattoos. This article is not meant to say they do not love the Lord. God not only can use them, but does use them. The issue is not whether God can use someone, but rather should Christians pursue getting tattoos? Just because something is popular does not mean it is right. We should always examine things by the “roots and the fruits” of the thing in question. @

TATTOOING HAS WITCHCRAFT “ROOTS”

In addition to the above verse, Scripture also warns us not to disfigure our bodies in following verses:

1 Kings 18:28: “And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.”

Deuteronomy 14:1(Amplified): “Ye are the sons of the LORD your God; you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness on your foreheads for the dead.”

In reply to Therese Kean. Thank you Therese for your comment, and you are right when you said, "The Lord brought me out from under the catholic religion into pentecostal movement actually those two have proved to be very similar in a lot of ways" They are in fact the same see here: Vatican II Evengelisation program

Thanks for this article and in fact all this site offers. There is so much deception out there. Sites like this and others I’ve found have affirmed what The Lord has been showing me. It’s as if all I have “experienced” through the last 30 odd yrs has to be filted through The Cross and allow the Lord thru his Spirit and word to confirm His way not man’s way anymore. The Lord brought me out from under the catholic religion into pentecostal movement actually those two have proved to be very similar in a lot of ways. I’m just so grateful for my Lord that He is the lamp to my feet and light to my path. Regards Therese

Mike Evans,

Thanks for your comment Mike.

Indeed, we are living in the time of the great falling away from the truth and its very sad. Many people are being drawn into mysticism and don’t even realize it.

Great article Tom. I believe the Lord used the parade of false prophets and ‘New Agers’ on Sid Roth’s pathetic excuse for a ministry TV program to draw me out of the Charismatic train-wreck…oops, movement.Roth was supposedly delivered from the New Age (like other mystical types such as Patricia King). I think it’s painfully obvious that many “ministers” with occult backgrounds are still operating under the same old spirits and are likely to never have been genuinely saved. (If they were saved, could they continue practicing and preaching mystical-laced ‘Christianity’?).
Roth’s show should be re-titled “It’s Supernaturally Non-Christian!”, “It’s Mysticism!” or “Let’s Not Test The Spirits!”.
I think if all the ‘new revelations’, ‘formulas’ and ‘steps to take’ to release supernatural increase in the life of a believer were compiled, “there would not be enough room in the world to contain them”. And a good thing too regarding this heinous, ungodly trash)
