Some Christians take issue with tattooing, upholding the Hebrew prohibition (see below). The Hebrew prohibition is based on interpreting Leviticus 19:28—”Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you”—so as to prohibit tattoos, and perhaps even makeup.
Also to know is, does God allow you to have tattoos?
If you take the Bible word for word, in Leviticus 19:28, its exact translation is: ”And a cutting for the dead you will not make in your flesh; and writing marks you will not make on you; I am the Lord.” That is the only explicit mention of body modifications written in the Bible.
- 1 Samuel 18:14 “In everything he did he had great success, because the LORD was with him.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16 “Rejoice always, ” …
- 2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we live by faith, not by sight.” Acts 16:31 “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
