People have gotten tattoos for a variety of reasons, but one of the most notable ones is to honor a loved one. Did you know the bible speaks against getting tattoos? Yes it does. Leviticus 19:28: "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord." The phrase "print any marks upon you" is a reference to tats, or tattoos. Tattoos have always been associated with devil worship.
Why would God forbid this act?
Those who believe in Jesus Christ are called to be witnesses for Him. We are to stand apart from the world, not engage in sin with them. Yet getting tats are one of the many ways we believers of Christ have acted like the world. Remember, followers of Jesus are supposed to be His temple. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17: "(16) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (17) If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: (19) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." 2 Corinthians 6:16: "And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
The purpose of posting those last couple of bible passages is to show you that believers of God, individually, and as a whole, are the temple of God. He wants us to be holy and act accordingly in our daily living. We were bought with a price. We belong to God.
Notable Celebs with Tats

(Kobe Bryant)
(Machine Gun Kelly)
(Ke$ha making a satanic gesture with the one-eye tat)
(Angelina Jolie)
(Rihanna making a devilish gesture with the Shhh tat.)
This gesture symbolizes the false god (demon) Harpocrates.
(Miley Cyrus with an "evil eye" tat) Note: an evil eye don't ward off evil spirits, but invites then in. The only way to fight evil is with God and His Word.
(Katy Perry) She's actually mocking God with her Jesus tat. John 4:24: "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." So no pics of Jesus, no tats of Jesus, no statues of Jesus, not even a Jesus piece. Those are idols. God forbids idols. Jesus is to be worshipped in spirit and in truth. Note: when we "idolize" celebs & athletes we are guilty of idolatry because only God is to be worshipped.

Conclusion
To conclude, the bible forbids followers of Christ from getting tattoos. Our bodies are to be a temple for the Holy Ghost. Tattoos are a satanic form of expression. Since the bible forbids us from getting them, then getting them is being disobedient to God. This was expressed under the Law, but the Law didn't save anyone. It was a schoolmaster to lead us to Jesus, the Messiah. Galatians 3:24: "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." Christ died on the cross not to end the Law, but to fulfill it. Matthew 5:17: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." See Christ didn't come to destroy the Law but fulfill it. He was sent to complete a task or should I say the Promise. This promise was for Christ to die on the cross for the sins of the world. A person can now receive salvation if they accept Christ as Lord and Savior. It's about faith in the Messiah. So a believer of Christ is now under grace, the law of the Spirit (Holy Spirit). Romans 8:2: "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."
So just because believers of God are under grace, it's still wrong to commit adultery, steal, kill, get tats, etc. Please take heed to this message. God bless.
