The verse in the Bible that most Christians make reference to is Leviticus 19:28, which says,”You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord.” So, why is this verse in the Bible?
In this way, does the Bible allow tattoos?
And have we been misinterpreting Leviticus? But in the ancient Middle East, the writers of the Hebrew Bible forbade tattooing. … Per Leviticus 19:28, “You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves.”
Furthermore, can we go to heaven with tattoos? Leviticus 19:28 reads, “You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord”. Even devout Christian Mr Folau has a couple of tattoos of his own – so there are a lot of sinners going straight to Hell for this one.
Simply so, what does Apostle Paul say about tattoos?
“Well, Father Paul,” someone might ask, “does this mean that getting a tattoo is a a sin and if I get one, I’m going to hell when I die?”
