Bible Study Quest
Bible Study Journey
When discussing modern tattoos, most people will quote Leviticus 19:28 as the absolute answer. But is it? Let’s delve a bit closer into the Bible and discover what the Bible actually says about Tattoos.
Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.
Are Christians allowed to get tattoos?
Are tattoos a sin?
Are tattoos evil?
In this quest we delve into the many discussions and arguments on what the Bible says about tattoos. This Quest is broken down into eight sections, each with their own relevant verses, historical and cultural context, and commentaries:
With tattoos being a common form of self-expression in modern western culture, many Christians are faced with the questions "Is it okay for Christians to have tattoos?" This argument has been going on for many years as most will agree there is not a definitive answer. The Bible typically mentions tattoos once, in Leviticus. However, this is the only time the English word "tattoos" has been applied in the Bible - but just because the English word was used doesn't mean these "tattoos" were the same process or from the same cultural or religious applications as ours today over 4000 year later. We need to take the time to really study and understand what the Bible is ACTUALLY saying, rather than applying our modern viewpoints because of how our English translation reads.
