To every man his own convictions will come on trivial matters.

There were 2 pastors long ago, the one went to theatrical things on a regular basis, but he saw nothing wrong with it.

the other smoked cigars... but he saw nothing wrong with that.

They said to each other, how can he be a christian if he goes to the theatre? The other said: How can he be a christian if he smokes cigars?

They were both convicted of different things in their own hearts.

Of course, there are matters where we simply can't be divided. For example, I used to smoke marijuana all day everyday, but I was convicted that it was wrong, and when I was born again, I realized we were living in the last days, and Jesus said: "Watch, and be sober."

He came into my life and changed me forever.

This is exactly what Romans 14 talks about.

If your tattoos glorify God, and that is your intention for getting them, then they are not wrong, otherwise, they are, as with anything.

My wife reccomends making the rays go out past the door Looks really good!

tldr...

But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me; my Lord has forgotten me." "Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
Isaiah 49:14-16

God has tattoos.

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
Ephesians 5:1

i would like to type more, but it's hard to type when god's hands are literally wrapped around me...

guns and hooker ftw

the bible just says you can decorate yourself with names of the dead good design looks good though

My friend patrick has lots of tattoos if you want i can have him email you. Hes in texas doing church work.

I see a lot of talking but no one asking...

Did God tell you to get this tattoo?

If the Law is the guardrails on the road Jesus leads us then likely no.

If you get it, He will love you no less.

We are works of living art, why should we bow to become merely a canvas?

No judgment, just thoughts I've pondered.

In fact, the best artist I know irl, works as a tattoo artist atm.

What ever you decide, be at peace with it.
