Hope not. Probably a matter of who you ask.

No, not if they are of godly things. And just think, having them inked on can be like a form of penance. Just imagine that Nightcrawler guy from X-Men. Now there is someone taking flogging to the next level! My own godly and saintly father has a whole sleeve set and so in cannot be wrong.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:12- that you are allowed on earth to do anything that you please but everything is not helpful in your walk with God and also that your body belongs to Him. You can not mixed the things of this world with the things of God. 2 Corinthians 6:14-16 says, "For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer an with unbeliever?And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the Living God." Things that you do to your body should glorify the Lord. That does not mean getting a tattoo of "GOD" on your body. Getting a tattoo is a form of idol worship because something or someone has that much pull in your life that you make yourself property of them. Love God in you heart and Trust me He will be pleased.
GOD Bless!!

I don't think it is right or wrong. It's just some people's personal preference. I like some people's body art; many tattoos are beautiful. I don't have one simply because I can't find an image I love so much that I want to see it on a daily basis.

Only when you're hammered. You wake up the next morning with a hangover that a bottle of advil can't cure and say "What the f*@k?"
This is actually a true story from college. If I were sober, then Yosemite Sam would not be on my shoulder.
Ces't la vie. I like my other three.

It depends on your religion, or lack there of. If you belong to a religion which considers altering the body in any way to be sinful, or graven images to be wrong, then tattoos would be wrong. If not, then you're good to go.

You ask people who have tattoos and most will likely tell you that it's about self expression. Creating art on our bodies, for whatever motivation, is simply all it is.
I'm a professional woman and have 3 myself - simply because I think they are wonderful and I enjoy looking at them.
Art is Art...does it really make a difference where it is - on canvas or on one's back?

some are downright tragic.
but the concept of having a tattoo is perfectly fine. I love mine.

I've seen some that were "wrong" but as a general rule I'm all right with them.
I prefer artsy tatoos not names.
But I even avoid logo shirts. That is one of my freakish personality quirks. You have to pay me if you want me to advertise for you.

When something means something to you you don't have to get permanently tattooed on yourself. Only if you have Short Term Memory Loss.
