Is it a sin to get them?

Lev: 19-28; Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourself, I am the Lord. I have tattoos and they are one of the things I would rather not have done. Once they are done they cannot be undone and your attitudes might change.

[gibby]

Well, I do have one prior to being saved but I have no plans or desire to get another one. Luckily, it is just a design on my arm that does not mean anything in particular.

I had a fellow SWAT team member get a tattoo on his arm that said, "MCSO SWAT" and then had our department star on it with sargeant stripes. About a month later he quit.

Dear Gibby , if it is a sin , Christ died on the cross for it , so I dont know who is going to judge that because it certainly isnt God

[gibby]

Yes, thanks onesiphorus. I am at peace living with my tattoo, thanks. It reminds me of my life before Christ and how far I have come.

[Onesiphorus]

Yes dear Gibby , isnt it strange that God through His Son remembers our sins no more and yet religion always wants to highlight them , no Gibby rest in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ

[JIP]

And it was an OT law now we have the NT which says nothing adverse either.
So if you already have a tattoo, just relax and if you wanna get a new one, maybe you need to think twice...like what happened to Gibby's friend. Having a tattoo is not going to make one eternally damned.

I have been thinking,,,,what about a tattoo of a scriptural reference, that would be significant to the individual. ?

How about Leviticus 19:28 (ANIV)
" 'Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.
Just being facetious Canny, forgive me.
