Answer 1

Oh, I'm sure he'll be honoured that you put the tattoo in the first place. Or put something like "I <3 God". Then he won't get mad.  

Answer 2

I wouldn't get religious tattoos. They will haunt you when you find out that everything you were told is a lie.

Answer 3

we rescued an elderly couple some time ago from a single vehicle accident.  This woman(must have been 80) was tattooed over 75% of her body(more than likely)

most pitiful thing I ever saw, old wrinkled, baggy saggy.

Answer 4

My religion teaches that it is wrong to mark or deface your body because it is a temple.  But it's up to you...that's what free will is all about.

Personally, I find myself automatically regarding people I meet with tattoos as being...undesirable....as neighbors, mates, teachers of my children, or in any professional status.

If I saw my Reverend or Doctor had a tattoo would I find another...yes, I would.

Answer 5

No. Why would he?

Answer 6

No, it's fine to get a tattoo.  

Some will quote Leviticus 19:28.  If they quote Leviticus, then they are wrong.  

Because, we are not under the law.  If they're following the law on that point in Leviticus, then they are debtors to keep the whole law PERFECTLY, and they already failed.

We have liberty in Jesus.  Get your tattoo if you like  :)  Jesus loves you  :)

Answer 7

First of all why do you want to scar your body? Once it is in under your skin that's it!!! My Dad was in the Royal Navy and this was the stupid craze amongs the sea men in those days. But he died from skin cancer..why? all because of tatoos.    

Now lets get back into the meat of your Q. If you call yourself a Christian, then you don't own yourself, God and His Holy Spirit does, so would you offend Him by scarring His temple?

Your call!

Answer 8

My mom, a christian,  would always say that you shouldn't get inked because the body is the lord's temple. That being said the Sistine Chapel would look pretty bad with bare walls wouldn't it?

Answer 9

No, I don't believe He would get angry! There is actually a Scripture in the Bible (sorry, I'll look it up for you later...don't remember where it's at) saying God has our names printed in His hands. My pastor actually wrote a book called 'God Has Tattoos' by Dave Diyanni.

Some people will say not to get a tattoo because our body is a Holy Temple, which it is, and they say it is destructive to get one. But a church is a Holy Temple as well and just because a church might be torn-down on the outside, with paint chipping off, and weeds growing around it doesn't mean that there is not amazing Worship going on inside that church, you know what I mean?

Hope that helps! Get that tatto girl :)

Answer 10

our body is the temple of the holy spirit..

im not going to tell you if its right or wrong to have a tattoo... i mean for example Todd Bentley. he has tattoos and hes an evangelist.

Answer 11

Matthew 6

33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Answer 12

Read Leviticus 19:28 in several translations, then you tell me.
