Leviticus 3:18, "a mark on the body whether caused by pox marks or defilement by the works of ink are an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. For verily I say unto you, the Lord thy God made you in his own image, and for you to forsake this likeness is the vilest blasphemy."

Some tattoos are bad some not. It is not against the Catholic religion it's just that it is not good for you. I mean forcing ink into your body is not a healthy thing.

I know many Catholics that have tattoos, so i presume it is allowed.
Should you not know the answer to this already if you yourself practise the Catholic religion ?

As a Catholic you are not suppose to do anything to harm your body. Except for drink a lot of alcohol.

According to the Catholic church, getting a tattoo IS bad. Because your body is a temple and you are defiling it by marking it for life... besides, tattoos become disgusting when you get old.. yuck!

As a Catholic, I say go for it. I, personally, have no problem with it and haven't found a priest who was against it either. I have found a few nuts in my church who are, though, but they don't count.

Catholics generally consider getting tattoos to be bad. They consider it to be a defilement of the body.

Yes, you can get a tattoo if you are catholic. They are not "intrinsically evil."
