I am getting a tattoo.?

Question

I want to find verses that back it up. I want the picture to reflect on the verse. If it helps the Lord transformed my life. I am a mother, daughter, wife, and follower of Jesus. The lord is my light!!! For those who don't want to answer this with a verse don't bother. please

OK. I already have one and I want to get one to glorify the Lord. So if you are going to judge me then forget it. I know what I am doing. how about people answer my question as asked

Oh and by the way how many have their ear's peirced? Is that not cutting the body? Putting a hole in it?

Answer 1

I hate to break this to you but......

Why would you want to mark up your body like a pagan?
I'm not saying that getting a tattoo will keep you out of heaven......all I'm saying is that it is pagan in nature.

Answer 2

Perhaps you should reconsider.
How does God feel about such things? The Bible tells us at Leviticus 19:28--"You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD."

A tattoo is a permanent mark or design on the skin made by cutting the skin to produce scars or by inserting coloring matter under the skin. The Israelites were forbidden to engage in this practice, one that was common among some other ancient peoples. For example, there were times when the Egyptians tattooed the names or symbols of their deities on their breast or arms. By complying with Jehovah’s law not to disfigure their bodies, the Israelites would have stood out as different from other nations. (De 14:1, 2) The prohibition would also have impressed upon them a proper respect for the human body as God’s creation, to be used in honoring him.—Ps 100:3; 139:13-16; Ro 12:1.

Answer 3

How about this? I am getting a dove tattoo with an olive branch in it's beak to represent God's goodness in reascending the flood water's and giving humans a second chance. You don't have to use this idea, I just really find this verse moving.

Ge 8:11
When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.

Answer 4

My Donkey says this to Love not Hate:

The verse you need is two parts, and deals with desecrating your body, made in God´s image:
Lev 19:28
¨You Shall not make any cutting in your flesh for the dead, nor tatoo any marks on you: I am the Lord (BOSS).

Blessings, Balaam

P.S. The marks Jesus had on His body were made by others, those cuts where the crown was so mockiingly forced on His noble brow, those lashes on His back where He took our beatings, those pierced feet and hands that went everywhere there was need to heal the needy, and that pierce mark in His side where his crimson blood was shed that humanity might live. And that is in a Bible code that tells you more at www.revelado.org/revealed.htm

Answer 5

Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
Leviticus 19:28

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your body."
1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Answer 6

If you get a tatoo of an eagle you can use this scripture!
Isaiah 40:31

They that wait on the Lord shall renew their own strength, they will mount up with wings like an eagle. They will run and not get weary, they will walk and not faint.

Answer 7

There is no verse to back it up.

Only a verse against it.

Your body is a temple, created by a master artist. There is no way to improve upon it... only desacrate it.

Focus on your heart instead, for that is what makes the most difference to him.

-EDIT-

Oh Goodness.. Its OK if you already have one. I have one. I just don't chose to celebrate it, or add to it.

Accept that you sinned, and move on, he will forgive you.

Do not take your sin, run from him, and add to it.

Answer 8

Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
Leviticus 19:28

(here is a verse, against tattoo's )
keep that in consideration

Answer 9

what you need to do is pray about it, but also remember that you don't have to mark your body to show your devotion to Christ...Your actions are far more important. How you live your life and how you treat others, and the words that you speak will let your light so shine. When you allow God to use you people can not help but to notice you. be blessed my sister!

Answer 10

I do not recommend it, but if you do insist, remember, it will be there for a long time.
There was a time when I seriously considered a cross in front of a star of David. Instead, I hope to have that on my grave marker. Oh well.

Answer 11

Le 19:28 - "'Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.

That would look good.
