As for someone who got tattoos before Jesus found me; I say to those who are thinking of getting one: Don’t. I regret all 4 tattoos I have. Even if it’s a memorial; there are better ways to remember a loved one.
Facts I think tattoos are cool but I wouldn’t want to them unless the honor the glory of god ☦️
A memorial body marking of any kind is specifically mentioned by God as a sin for the children of God.
Telling people not to though because you got some before Jesus and now regret it Is very subjective though, I myself have a full sleeve and I love it, it just depends on what you get tbh, none of my tattoos are marks for the dead or worship other idols, just cool imagery and Christian artwork that that I like.
@@lordpepe6605 definitely, but I'm not sure it would ever come to give glory to God. The huge majority of people who get tattoos come to regret it later in life. Think of it this way when people go through some sort of spiritual change it's purely that spiritual. So you shouldn't need a physical marking on your body you should trust that you've moved forward
@@matthiasknerl4272 I could say that in your opinion. In my opinion symbols and scriptures give veneration to the most high so that on the body wouldn’t be much different all up for debate though haha much love man
Could someone please pray for me?,i fell off the scooter and hit my head with the street,please pray for my healing,thank you guys.
How are you doing now?
How are you now?
bet
Well said, sir.
I'd say tattoos aren't sinful, but aren't recommended. Our bodies are God's temple, after all.
But we shouldn't instantly judge those with piercings and tattoos like you said
I got my tattoos and piercings before I was saved. I took out my piercings but thankfully my tattoos are of nature and I love them still
@@dreamyxseahorse506 I have 6 piercing and they don't affect my love of the Lord in the slightest. I see nothing wrong with them.
@@danielparham5232 before I was saved i wanted to be a "suicide girl" and my value and identity was deeply rooted in how "hot" i was. This is def more of a personal conviction to separate myself outwardly from my old self before Jesus 🌻
Your body is not a “temple.”
1st Corinthians 6:19-20 is just words on paper.
What about ear piercings you got as a baby?
I have a cross tattoo on my right forearm that I got shortly after being born again. It's a testament to the permanence and dedication to my faith above all. I also got it im the orientation I did (long side towards my wrist) so that when I help someone up off the ground (both literally and figuratively) and they see the cross from my arm extended, they'll see the symbol of Jesus extended towards them and see that it's a disciple of Jesus helping them and that's something special to me, that I can represent him in all I do.
AMEN
That’s awesome!!
I have the same tattoo for the same reason! The orientation was a special part of it too for me! 😁
I believe that God will never not allow us to glorify him an spread the Gospel
What about when you, yourself, look down at the cross tattooed on your arm? What are your thoughts on seeing the cross appear upside down from that perspective? Likewise, what about if or when throw your hands in the air while praising our Lord? Does the idea of the cross being upside down in that instance mean anything to you? I personally am troubled by the idea of having permanent ink on my skin and would like to comprehend other people's thoughts on the subject.
I have tattoos from before my walk with Christ, and I wish I never got them. We're in the world, but not supposed to be of the world. I personally do not advocate for Christians getting tattoos.
This is my point exactly. I think they are a great testimony though to show where God delivered you from.
@@justabunneh6490 Oh no doubt, absolutely. Not to mention it's a good icebreaker to help me evangelize to non-Christians. In the modern world tattoos are a norm and it makes secular people (especially those with tattoos) feel more comfortable talking to me about Christianity and salvation because I'm not what they expect a textbook Christian to look like.
That’s not exactly what being of the world insinuates
@@iamjulian2810 I mean in a sense it can mean that as well because Jesus and his deciples reference culture and traditions as something that can turn dangerous. We are reminded time and time again not to be influenced by those (which are worldly things) because we are to be influenced from the inside out by the Holy Spirit. Science can even corroborate the fact that when people have tattoos, the tattoos themselves can tend to hide skin diseases or illnesses/ issues that we would normally be able to see without the tattoos there. That doesn't even include the possibilities of gangrene and other illnesses you can contract from the healing process or uncleanliness of the tattoo artist's practices during the process. As Christians we are supposed to treat our body as a temple and take care of what God has gifted us with. That means being careful of what we put in our bodies, AND on it. And just because tattoos aren't really a religious thing nowadays for most people/ culture it doesn't change the history of tattoos and where the practice came from. As Christians we are called to be careful, and hyper vigilant/ skeptical of everything we come in contact with. It's important to discern because we want to please our heavenly Father, and choose His will over our own.
The aesthetic in a every tattoo parlor seems unholy imo
I got one tattoo before Jesus found me: a small dragonfly on my wrist as a reminder that things get better, and that bad situations are temporary. There's a story behind it that I'd rather not type out, but I don't regret it. I think tattoos are one of those things where your intention behind it matters. Are you getting it to honor someone or something in your life, to remember something, or just because you thought it looked good? If it's the last one, maybe reconsider. Paul in 1 Corinthians 10 says that all things are lawful, but not all things are good nor helpful. Later in 1 Timothy 2, he says that we are to adorn ourselves with good works, not gold or costly attire (I think we can safely lump tattoos in with that). Does the tattoo draw attention to yourself, or does it honor God?
I don't think we can or should judge those that have tattoos. Tattoos or the lack thereof is not a Scriptural nor a salvation issue, and I think that each person can have their own opinions on the matter. Just think about why you're getting one, and if it glorifies God.
Totally agree.
> Paul in 1 Corinthians 10 says that all things are lawful, but not all things are good nor helpful
I know that this is a nitpick, but Paul never said that "all things are lawful" -- the Corinthians said that as a slogan to justify their sins, and Paul is responding to them.
I have a dragonfly on my arm for a similar story!!
It explicitly says in Leviticus 19:28 no tattoo marks. Plain and simple. There should be no confusion here at all. It’s a straightforward verse like “do not steal”. 🕎 Yeshua(Jesus) didn’t get tattoos and neither should we.
@@Steel-101 You my man hit the nail on the head. You can't create a false image of god in your head and think that that god is accommodating towards your beliefs. God is just and doesn't bend in his rules. If you have a tattoo fine but don't get one while you're born again and think it's okay.
@@rufuspretorius6455 Amen brother 😎🕎👍🏼🇺🇸
Amen brother! Don’t judge!!!
I have tattoos all over my body, gauged ears, even my hands are tatted. But that doesn’t change how much Jesus loves me!
My advice to people without tattoos who would be considering getting them though would be the same, just don’t do it. There are tons that I regret getting from occult symbology to band logos. I do have Jesus written down my arm, and YHWH in Hebrew on my hand (the only ones I truly don’t regret getting if I was going to get any). I love my God. But if I could go back and not get a single one I would.
Yes, God sees the inside but man sees the outside, we should never judge someone’s walk with Christ by their appearance.
I agree with you! But I don't regret a single one of mine, most of them are meant to glorify God, and I have a few more on the way. As long as they are not glorifying to the kingdom of darkness I think they are just as okay as piercings.
amen brother
I have a half sleeve of a cross praying hands and a dove. I still don’t regret it to this day.
So what else in the Bible that god says is bad are you ok with?
"You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord.
"
-Leviticus 19:28
@@AtiShard16 “for the dead”. Context, context, context. Tattoos don’t have the same pagan use anymore. Stop trying to bind the consciences of those who are free in Christ.
@@Window4503 Cuts for the dead. The tattoo marks are not specified to be only for the dead.
@@AtiShard16 I'm like a year late but do you follow leviticus 19:27 too?
Nice :) i am God-fearing Christian with no tattoos, but i have 5 piercings. Three in my right ear, Two in the left ear, One on my left nose :) i love them so much!
@@alexlopez515 Why can't you love your piercings? They can enhance your natural beauty by highlighting a beautiful feature on your face.
I was saved in May and I’m covered in tattoos.. major regrets! I took out my piercings and need to get a few removed or covered, if I could go back in time I would remove them all! I have a new age tattoo covering my entire chest 🙃
Awe babygirl I’m sorry for that, but immGlad Jesus encountered you! May I ask why you regret the piercings as well?
I never ever judge a person by their tattoos if they're repentant and born again. I think they're a good testimony. On the other hand, I don't think Christians should get them, especially if they're for the dead (memorial) as that is SPECIFICALLY mentioned not to do in the Bible.
Yeah, we can get tattoos though.
theres nothing wrong with memorials im sure you have relatives buried, and or pictures to remember them?
Well said!
We are meant to glorify Christ through our bodies too! We are meant to be holy(set apart) from what the world adorns. Christians, you are beautiful and wonderful! You don't need any extra beauty to adorn yourself.
@@upzyys9286 Deuteronomy 14:1 says not to *cut yourselves* for the dead, tattoos are made by cutting into your skin. Other stuff like burials are mentioned several times in the Bible with positive connotations.
@@nocx4592 thats talking about making tattoos for false gods which was happening during the time of the Israelites read verse 3 it also says not to eat any abomination so by your logic you should be keeping the dietary laws aswell
Something to think on: many pagan religions markup and disfigure the human body, while cultures influenced by Christianity have avoided this.
God made us in his image, and the beauty of the human body points to this.
For what reason are we cutting and painting ourselves?
If you have a tattoo, I am not saying it was definitely sinful. But, I ask this why is marking up the human body a GOOD thing?
Why is it beautiful to cut the body, and why OUGHT we to do it (beyond the reason "art and cool pictures are neat")?
Because you are your body. Theyre not separate things. It's a fun opportunity to express your individual interests or story. Just like how many Christian women enjoy makeup. The motives might be deep and wrong for one person, but we should draw a line to not project that onto everyone.
Not everyone just gets tattoos for “cool art” many get them as a memory for loved ones or various other sentimental and personal reasons. It’s not all bad or selfish intent which is also something to think on.
being made in his image has nothing to do with our bodies btw
I have tattoos from before I was a christian and after I was saved by Jesus. There are some I regret from my past, but those I got after I became a christian I don’t regret. I have the date God came into my life tatted on my wrist and it has been a blessing for telling others what happened that day in my life. My advice? If you’re going to get tatted do it thinking in evangelism and use it for the glory of the God. If not then I believe you should think about the motivation of your heart. God bless you all 😃
I got all my three tattoos when I was saved and don’t regret them at all, it’s been 10 years since my first one and 5 since my last one. Not sure if I will ever get anymore, that’s up to God.
Amen Isaac! Fair and balanced, and most importantly, loving. God bless you brother! (my advice? DON'T GET A TATTOO!!! YOU'LL REGRET IT! you have been lovingly warned, God bless)
I don't think it's a sin if it's not worshipping anyone or anything. Many people get tattoos to remember loved ones.

And probably more have tattoos. Some often for God.
Genuine question, what if it’s like a bible verse tattoo?? Can there be “Christian” tattoos?
Another question can females have their ears pierced then? I’ve had mine since I was a baby.. or is this more for like facial/body piercings
@@nicoleayala4153 we aren't bound by old testament law. It's far more common for girls than guys to do it. I'm not a massive fan of men doing it since the majority I've seen lately makes them look effeminate.
@@nicoleayala4153 I'm not a Pastor Nicole, but this is my personal opinion based on the Levitical law and passages like Romans 12 on your body being a living sacrifice to the Lord. So many people I've talked to and heard testimonies from have wished they hadn't gotten a tattoo including family. You can't change it without an expensive 'undoing', and I think it is more God honoring to have the verse 'written in your heart, that you might not sin against God' like the psalmist King David said (Psalm 119:11).
On pierced ears, my current understanding is that it is OK, if you are not being flashy, ostentatious or showy to garner inordinate affection or solely for attention seeking, and one must have 'a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price', as your priority, first and foremost, when deciding what you will wear. Jewelry, like anything, can become an idol of time or attention, vanity even, and not something that truly honors God (1 John 5:21).
1 Timothy 2:9-10 "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works."
1 Peter 3:3-4 "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price."
Pray about these things, stay in scripture, and ask your Pastor and brothers or sisters that you think have good judgement. But again, speaking personally I prefer women that do not wear make up or jewelry, or at least very limited, but I still prefer none, and I strongly discourage tattoos. May the Lord bless you and guide your heart in these choices Nicole, in Jesus' name.
Somebody once told me that we need to be wise with that kind of decision not only because of us but through those decisions we would be an influence for others new believers and maybe we have really strong convictions and wisely oriented but for us are unknown theirs. Also, we wouldn't have the authority to tell them not to make any decision related... For the love of others more than ourselves.
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 verse before says not to trim your beard... Leviticus 19 was for the Israelites at that specific time... not for Christians.
I’d like to add something. We as followers of Christ have to be careful when discussing Gods law on any subject, prefacing it with “Old Testament,” or “Jews.” If the word isn’t seen as a whole, unchangeable and spirit given we run into creating an (us vs. them) doctrine. We also may find that we’re stumbling into Marcionism
and/or antinomian doctrine.
BTW: I have gauges and tattoos
I got a tattoo of the Virgin Mary (2018) before I was saved and I’ll never forget the moment I was saved (March 2021) I looked at it and automatically knew it was idolatry. I repented right then and there for all my sins. I regret getting them now but God has forgiven me. Treat your body as a temple for the Lord 🙏🏼♥️ God Bless
I always planned to get a tattoo of Mary as part of a sleeve. I was saved before I did though. Not trying to make you feel bad- I’m just trying to say I understand how you feel. I regret my other tattoos still, but it’s not something I dwell on. God saved you, tattoos and all. You are right! You are forgiven, as we all are for there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Love to you in Christ.
I find this very nice to hear bc someone I know has a tattoo of Virgin Mary and I hope this person would change it
I love the new editing and style of your videos! It's very entertaining and makes it easy to keep watching
I know right?
Well you’re body is a temple. Which means in the eyes of god changing it for personal or public reasons is a sin in gods eyes. Yes you should never judge anyone for having it. Not should you judge based on you’re own understanding. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that tattoos “being permanent” are a sin. Being a temple it should be treated with the same cleanliness that you show god.
If God banned tattoos amongst the Israelites partly so that they would be "In the world, but not Of the world" then we should do the same thing. Christians should stick out of the crowd as people with strong, set-in-stone morals. So while tattoos are not explicitly a sin for the modern Christian, I think it is wise to not get one for many reasons. But because it is a gray area, everyone considering getting tattoos should certainly pray about it and make sure that the tattoo glorifies God.
This is the same mindset at the Amish. Remember. Different audience. Different context and culture. Same heart behind the principle of standing out as a positive reflection of Christ.
I have always thought of “in the world but not of it” as more of a heart-thing and of spiritual condition rather than applying it literally to things like whether or not to get tattoos. Christians are already criticized for being super judgy to others that I think claiming that tattoos are “of the world and that’s why I won’t get one” comes off as unnecessarily high-horse and pretentious which are objectively horrible ways to connect with other people and bring them to Christ. We stick out of the crowd by having a light around us that radiates from us when we are filled with the Holy Spirit. People are drawn to that and want to know what’s going on with us, how are they so happy, why so positive despite x,y,z happening in their lives, why so hopeful? And that is our chance to say “It’s because of Jesus.” Go light the world!
Revelations says all tattoo bearers shall go to hell tho
@@sunhands1745 I really don't pay much mind to how the world judges us Christians Because we don't base our lives off of what they think is right. It's clearly written that what they believe is wrong. So we should only judge ourselves based on God. Therefore, if we're in right standing with God, that's all that matters and if the world thinks that's too "judgy" then that's on them.
@@marana.th4 Provide the verses supporting that claim.
And if I remember correctly, Jesus in Revelation has a tattoo on His thigh. So does that mean that Jesus is going to hell?
I got advice once... "if it's a stumbling block for someone else rather don't do it"... it took a while to register... to cut a long story short, i never got a piercing or tatoo...
People really tend to over complicate this issue. The obvious answer is no to piercings and tattoos. Regardless of why you get it. I good way to think about it is “Will we have tattoos/piercings in the new heaven and new earth?” I would be inclined to say probably not.
You know that's something that's also always confused me though. If we're going to have glorified bodies and the old one's would pass away, then what is the issue with tatoos/piercings?
@@cherishschocolatecrackers221 Thanks for the the reply! While in theory we that logic makes sense; that’s kind of like saying “If we going to live free of sin in the next life; then what’s the issue with sinning now?”. It matters because God calls us to live to a higher standard; to reject the world’s ways and live as he would.
@@cherishschocolatecrackers221 We’ll have the same body, it will just be glorified. Using the Bible’s analogy, it’s like planting a seed. A tree isn’t like a seed at all and yet they are the same plant; the tree is the fully formed, mature version of the seed.
Biblical culture suggests otherwise. In weddings, what did the bride wear? Piercings. God even uses a nose ring in his imagery for marrying Jerusalem in Ezekiel 16:12. We can’t impose modern Western sensibilities of what’s considered appropriate especially when the Bible speaks for itself. Who knows, maybe we won’t, but I’m inclined, based on Scripture, to say that it will be acceptable in some form just as it was to the Israelite ideas of beauty.
Possibly one of the best explanations I've heard. well said brother!
You're so wise. Way to go, man.
Amen 🙏 love your videos keep staying Christ centered, Praise Jesus
I appreciate this and many other videos you make. Before I came to Christ I got many tattoos on my body, such as an entire sleeve and others. It makes me sad it is sinful and I honestly hide my tattoos all the time. (At my previous church no one knew how many I had but I'm sure they questioned why I wore sweaters in 100 degree weather, haha) However, I don't want people to see my tattoos and get the wrong idea of God so I hide them and am immensely ashamed honestly (as a 24 year old woman it also makes me feel less feminine), especially since I have a pagan past.
I'm not sure if you'll see this comment but I have thought about getting them covered with Christ centered art, but I'm not sure if that's sinful as well. Getting them removed is way more expensive and almost impossible. What are your thoughts on this? I love your videos brother, you help me so much.
First and foremost, if you regret the designs and motives, you use them as a reminder of how amazing the gift of the death and resurrection was to include your tattoo mistakes amongst the sins that were paid for. Don't be ashamed of them anymore.
Secondly, don't underestimate how God orchestrates. There are tons of people out there who were saved after making similar mistakes. Satan wants to use anything he can to make us feel excluded from being in Christ with one another or sharing the gospel. Believe in a God creative and big enough to be faithful in completing His work you in you and through you anyway.
Third, if you like the more culturally feminine aesthetic, you could look into body makeup. Personally, I like to see all types of women represented in the church.
@@RachelDee You are such a sweetheart. Thank you so much for this, Rachel. I'm tearing up honestly, haha. Nevertheless, you could not be more right. I think me feeling so ashamed is just feeding into Satan's scheme. I know I am forgiven, I just feel so ashamed since I have so many and some are pagan.
Additionally, it doesn't help when fellow Christians bash me either or say how ugly tattoos are, it makes it hard to show them. I do know, however, that my tattoos can be used as a testimony for Christ. And I probably should treat it as such!
Do you think I should cover them with makeup or would it be okay to cover them with "new art"? I just don't want to be a disrespect to Christ. I'm very weary of my actions these days.
I want to thank you for you kind words, you have no idea how much it means to me!!
They are a beautiful testimony to show God's work in your life not only to yourself, but to other people who came or are coming from a similar past.
I’m a Christian with a full sleeve and covered chest. I do not regret it and no it is not sin. If you don’t care for it anymore because of personal taste, that’s different, but it’s not sin. Besides, Christ emphasizes being holy on the inside more than outward appearances.
Hi Shelby, I think it's only sin if it is to your own conscience. Like Isaac explained there is a difference between the old and new covenants. With that being said though because the new covenant is one of the heart, it is between the Christian and and the Lord what they decide, and great wisdom should be used when picking a tattoo. I personally have an almost full sleeve that I got before I was saved. Parts of it I still really like and there are other parts that I think I should have definitely thought more about. Let those be reminders of the grace that the Lord has shown you in Christ, and the weight of the cross will become bigger and bigger. God bless you Shelby 😊✝️
Even though he didn't say anything about "Do not get a tattoo", but rather not to judge someone based upon what you can see ON them, there are still so many people in the comments spewing their personal doctrines surrounding tattoos. There are many laws that Gpd gave the Israelites, exactly for the reason my guy said in the video. Those laws were specific for them at that time. But, all the decisions we make now should be wise and done in love, according to our faith and love of Him. So, MY advice would be, if you want to get a tattoo, make it a wise decision. Let what you get be a part of your journey as a Christian, just as a story you would tell. Have what you get STILL glorify God. Tattoos aren't wrong, in my opinion, just used wrongly.
They are wrong dont foul yourself
@@thenameofthegame4037 Can you support your claim biblically?
@@tostondepuracepa5376 I want to see all these people citing Liviticus post photos of themselves, so I can see how they have never cut their hair or shaved their beards...
I have a question if God made these rules for his people shouldn't those rules been applied to when he let the gentiles aka us to follow him and worship him?? T
@@josue2662 It really is a valid question, and one who's been boggling Christian minds forever. We sometimes forget that Jesus said He came to fulfill the law, and when the Pharisees asked Him which one of the laws was greater, He introduced a "new" law, summarizing all the laws (commandments) , i.e. Love God and love your neighbour (Matt 5 & 23). The laws given in Liviticus were specifically only for the Israelites at that time. And as someone in the comments also said, those laws were for the Israelites to distinguish themselves from the ungodly nations. So, if we want to break it down, we should just ask ourselves, are we distinguished from ungodly here and now? What makes the Christian different from the non-Christian? Personally, outwardly looks are just as superficial as they come, because many a "Christian-looking" people are just not believers, and you get disciple-believers who look like prison junkies. To me it's about the circumcision of the heart that counts.
If you feel comfortable in your faith doing it and your heart isnt telling you otherwise than go for it! Personally I don’t feel comfortable doing such a thing because the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and why would I want to defile my temple? That’s how I look at it. God bless ☺️
I would never judge someone who has them but would encourage them not to purse them, since it is no longer us who live but Christ who dwells within us. These could be a step back for some pursuing a relationship with Christ
I disagree, it’s something that could glorify God such as sharing their testimony, then it could be a step forward. I would encourage them to pray and ask God about it, that’s what I did with all my three tattoos and God gave me a peace. God is not so black and white like us humans, he’s very complex and understands us all individually. It may be a sin for one person to have a tattoo and not for another, it all depends on our individual sins.
I’m getting a tattoo once I get older, although I’m kind of like you: My view of art is always changing so I’ve been keeping a list of things that really resonate with me. I already know people are going to be like “iTs A sIn”, but if you’re worried about getting a tat, my advice is to listen to your heart and not the opinions of others. Nowhere in the Bible does it say it’s a sin for us.
I would recommend prayer and fasting first to be sure your conscience is clear. Do a Bible study on it through the Old testament and see if that changes your mind. Also keep in mind that weaker brothers who see the tattoo can then have a judgement of you making you testimony or teaching be questioned. just things to think through.
God bless.
why are you getting a tattoo? genuinely asking
amen. i have my right nostril and a central labret but no tattoos. i’ve prayed on it and felt convicted on tattoos, but not piercings, though i’m sure it’s different for everyone
Debating this is up there with debating alcohol or celebrating Christmas for me. There's some clear cut boundaries and potential heart issues, but it's such a micro issue not worth gatekeeping over most of the time.
Drinking isn't a sin, drunkenness is.
And for Christmas no its not pagan and neither is Easter, Halloween, or any other holiday that is commonly celebrated and assumed pagan. th-cam.com/video/IffNsK_fdoY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/fu-5BmAzbrU/w-d-xo.html

I do agree with you on drunkeness, though.
@@justabunneh6490 then the burden is on you to prove the holidays are pagan since I provided links proving they aren't.
Yeah same thing with me. I don’t judge people with tattoos. They are a lot of great Christian brothers on TH-cam who have tattoos and I still listen to them but it’s just not for me especially since it’s permanent.
I got a verse tattood on me like 4 months after being saved , I felt a conviction upon me and just so many things that got in the way that I felt like God was telling me to not get it , I remember my spirit felt down and I knew exactly what it was and and It can also cause people to view you in a different way when u have tattoos as in a lustful way in a different way if you know what I mean , God bless ✝️
I have 23 tattoos, all gotten as a Christian. I don't regret any, though I have a couple I like less haha. Most have deep meaning and are reminders of how God has worked in my life, things I want to live my life by, etc. They've also sparked questions and I've been able to briefly share the Gospel. So.
Dead on! Thank you Brother. God bless ✝️
I got two tattoos and I’m a Christian on is on my wrist and it’s small it’s a turtle and says paz y Algeria which means peace and joy and one small one on my rib that says faith. Everyone says I should feel convicted and bash me cause I got them while I’m a Christian but i haven’t had that conviction… I wouldn’t get anymore tattoos though I never minded the small ones 🤷🏾♀️ that’s all I’ve ever considered getting
Even though I'd probably never get one because I'm lazy, I'd love to get my whole back done of the hill of Golgotha with the 3 crosses empty and it just says pardoned above it.
I got a satanic tattoo on my chest and regret it so badly, I feel like it is spiritually blocking my heart. Like; there feels like a very grey/ black cloud surrounding my heart. I believe in the "power" behind sigils and such, so it makes it worse, to me. I wish I never went through with it, I wish there was something I could do. I'm about to cut it off
It is sin. Doesn't mean that you should hate people with tattoos or that they're going to hell. But to say it's not sin is wrong.
No its not. It can be a heart issue, but it's not explicitly one.
@@RachelDee It is. I'm not going to sit here and argue with you about it all day. It is a sin against modesty. It is a sin against God because our bodies belong to him. We are created in his image. It is a sin because it's paganism and promoted by pagans. You want to be pagan and world like go ahead, more power to you. I'd rather be Christ like. Have a nice day.
@@JCisKING20 I've said it before, Christians have already stolen so much from the pagans, I see no reason why we can't make an exception for tattoos too
@@JCisKING20 yall get on the internet and just say anything smh
@@JCisKING20 You are not being Christ like at all. I will pray for you, everyone needs to examine their own hearts, please do:
I love you Isaac and I wholeheartedly write this, and I do because God says we got to love each other as He loves us, so the world will know we are his children when they see the love of God in us loving one another.
You said something very precious at the end of the short that so is so deeply rooted in me as the introvert that I am... You so beautifully and simply explained what the "outward" really is, and how we as Christians should focus more on the "inward" of people (and ourselves) more than on the outward.
When God brings people into our lives for a short or long period of time (God decides), I realized that at times are people we feel uncomfortable with because of some "external" aspect (like tatoos and piercings as examples), so we put into action God's love in us, in the people's inward as we do not know what their life story is behind the individual, God's grace should flow through us when we interact with people irrespective of their outside appearance, to gain them for Christ, not to torment them finger point them and judge them...
When I was 17 i so wanted to have a tatoo!!! :D and I clearly wanted a butterfly in blue colours at the back of my shoulder (hahahah I had it all planned in my head!!) The reason behind it, was purely because I love butterflies and they are very meaningful to me (that has not changed!!) so... what did I do? I came across a sticker tattoo of a blue butterfly one day AND i put it on just as I wanted. It lasted a few days, but that made me reconsider if it was really necessary (as its meaning is in my heart and mind I can speak about it, no need to tatoo it on my body) Also, I thought about how God created us without tatoos... if these were necessary, he'd given us our own, ... at that moment, I realized I was somehow questioning God's perfect creation of my body... so I then asked God to forgive me for that, He has made me fearfully and wonderfully... nothing to add nor remove, who am I to question Him? He makes no mistakes. Since then I decided no tatoos and I would not recommend them to anyone. That is my little tatoo story for you all!!
When I see someone with tatoos, I get curious and if the situation allows it, I ask about their meaning to them, I ask about the story behind them... I find out the person's story... and always the opportunity to talk about God's love and Jesus :) It is a beautiful opportunity, let us love more, show mercy and compassion... be the light in a world full of darkness!
Thank you Isaac. Sending you a big bear hug full of God's preciuos love :)
Personally I won’t get one
Mostly because I don’t like needles. Medical syringes, like for flu shots, is painful enough for me. Why would I need stand still for a long period and have a piece of art on my body?
(More power to those who can do it. You have an amazing power of endurance and patience than me.)
Tattoos seems like a worship of self. I could make that arguement. But anyways Jesus didn't abolish the laws but accomplished them. I believe the laws are still relevent and should be followed.
Galatians. All of it. Read it. Please. This is the exact conclusion the apostles were against.
lately I've been wondering if it's okay to wear earrings as a Christian man. I've gotten them when I was a bit younger and still like wearing them actually. Shouldn't I perhaps?
Thank you so much for advising against it while also letting those who have them and regret it, know that God is merciful and faithful to forgive us of our sins.
The answer is simple:
"You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord."
-Leviticus 19:28
Yes it is sin.
I got baptized years after i got a tattoo, can i still be saved
@@rumrain838 I mean yes you are saved if you repent of your sins, entrust in Jesus for salvation, and believe that He is God and was raised from the dead. Getting a tattoo is a sin but so is fornication, murder, theft, and deceit. People who have committed the most egregious acts have been saved. My point was that saved believers shouldn't get tattoos when God clearly doesn't look kindly on such a thing.
It is not, pay attention to the context. “For the dead.” It was for idol and ancestor worship. Tattoos aren’t used that way anymore.
As Christians if get a tattoo of a cross then we can never do handstands ever Again
Why couldn’t I have had this man as my big brother, Lord? Would be amazing! I have to meet you in person someday, whatever side of eternity that may be😄
Shouldn’t have tattoo, He said
“Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.” You see that word “nor” in others word “or”. So if I tell you don’t cursing or talk to the dead I’m telling you two things!! Read The scripture right! Stop getting tattoos. The Spirit didn’t told you to get a tattoo, the flesh did. Rather if you have a scripture , that doesn’t please GOD because you can’t please him in the flesh. GOD Bless✌🏽
So based. So true.
Last sentence make me sense🙏💕
This is what I was talking about to my friend. Even though he has a different taste of art than me. I don't care if he has tattoos or not, I want him to go heaven.
Well said brother 🙏💜
Just subbed, I needed some Christian asmr thank you ,may god bless you ☦️💙💖
Awe yay, so happy to have you join the Fam!🥰✨
I'm tired of this topic amongst christians lol. This is such a non issue in every sense. I think it's not even worth pondering at all
It really isn't. I would be more open to discussion on this.
@@justabunneh6490 it isn't what?
@@justabunneh6490
Everything should be discussed. If not clear in scripture you have to go by conscience. There is alot to think through and we should have this discussion with charity for other believers
Can you do a full video and deep-dive into this topic, PLEASE?
Got mine before I was saved , I kinda want to get them laser removed...at least one of them
I’m planning on getting a tattoo that says Hebrews 11:1 or the actual verse itself.
My first tattoo is my absolute favorite because it has been one of the most perfect and permanent reminders to me daily no matter how deep I am in pain or sorrow of my disability, I look down and always feel the hope and strength of God within me to keep moving forward even if I'm having to crawl with my bloody nails in the rocks to inch forward moment by moment.
I got it in 2017 as a birthday present from my parents on my right wrist in line with my thumb after my most recent battle with my chronic illness disabled me physically again and I've never once regretted it!
It's just simply "Plilippians 4:13" and every time I glance toward it I'm instantly reminded that no matter my current struggle, God is always with me and I need not fear(which has gotten me through a ton of panic and anxiety attacks which are part of the chronic Vertigo)!
It's also been a wonderful witnessing tool because it being simply the verse title I get asked often what it means and what it means for mylife and I love that part most of all because there are millions always struggling out there so to be able to plant a seed through my testimony of how God is always there even through strife and sorrow it really strikes a cord with others!✝️🙏
Good info
Great video!
If you know anything about the supernatural/spiritual realm and demons. I would NEVER get tattoos.
You are right and amazing
I'm covered in tattoos that I got after I got sober but before I got saved. Now I'm a Christian stay at home mom with 3 kids. God pursued me even with my ink, my mohawk and my motorcycle; I won't be ashamed of something when despite it, he called me to love him anyway. My church full of beautiful, conservative, non-tattooed women who love me anyway. No one has judged me. Use your past in testimony to save others who are doing the same. If you cover up your sins, you can't show others God's gift of grace.
i have no tattooes or piercings, I don't smoke, drink or do drugs. AND I'm still single...
So are you saying you’re owed a relationship?
@@Window4503 nope.
Technically God has a "tattoo"
Revelations 19:16. Written on his robe and THIGH. King of Kings and Lord of Lords. If it brings glory and honor to God. I see no reason why it isbad. Also a great way to spread the truth of Jesus our Lord and Savior.
Hope this helps
@@josue2662 this says God not Jesus. And you're still ignoring scripture. It says thigh and robe. So, it's like a tattoo but it's not. So Jesus when he was fully man and fully God. Here on earth probably doesn't have that. But once again in revelations 19:16 God does have something like a tattoo on his body. You can not ignore that.
I started a tattoo before I was saved. My husband did it. With having four kids, we have put it off through pregnancy etc. now that we decided on “no more kids”, he mentioned finishing my tattoo. It’s a Japanese theme with a hennya mask. Would this be ok to finish?
So sweet! I have a cross on my back that says stead fast! I love it because this word is a characteristic of God that my mind will never comprehend but is sooo evident and sweet in our Lord! Also it’s a sweet reminder of His constant presence in my life and hopefully a way for God to use it to glorify Him in giving me opportunity to evangelism and talk to other about what my tattoo means!! 💖 intention is everything!
I don't think intention is everything, although it matters. It's a sin to get a tattoo, and you can show your faith in other ways that definitely aren't sinful. That's why i've avoided getting a tatto, but I have done many other stupid sinful things so im not saying i'm better than you.
@@tayzk5929 I don’t feel that tattoos are a sin! That was mosaic law before Jesus came and fulfilled it by dying on the cross!! The only time where I feel tattoos would not be great or seen as sinful is if it isn’t glorifying to God!
@@madelineshank4683 Christians feel a lot of things, i'm more interested in Gods word and how He tells us to treat our body. I know our own feelings often cloud what God wants for us.
@@tayzk5929
“ So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.” Galatians 3:24
The verse about tattoos was in Leviticus and there were many laws before Christ came to fulfill it and now we don’t do many things that used to be practiced like strict laws that the Jewish did on Sabbath. Even when Jesus came to us He didn’t take part in the laws which can be found in the gospels Mark 7:13, ESV: “thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.” This verse talks about how the Pharisees were mad at the disciples for not following the law but Jesus was speaking about how Gods word is above mad made law and rules… God will and His glorification is above all rule made by man (Mosaic law)
Does this make sense?
I have 2 tattoos specifically for missional purposes. I personally think it’s a great convorsation starter to share the gospel with someone.
That's a whole lotta truth in one sitting
I kinda want a tattoo but I'd only get a temporary tattoo like one that lasts a year
Our body is a temple for the holy Spirit.. if you had a tattoo before it's okay. But when you found Christ it's better if you renounce to those things ..
Amen! Glory to God in Lord Jesus Christ name!
Message should be simple
1 Its a sin,
2 Dont do it
3 If done, repent
4 Thoses who didnt, dont demonise who did. For the time and hereater the judgment comes from god, you may guide but not judge
Amen 🔥🔥‼️
I have many. Some I still like, some I regret, but they still tell a story of what I've been through. I've searched the Bible for discernment on tattoos, and I don't read anything specifically against all tattoos, all I see is, "don't mark your body with cuts or tattoos in rememberance of the dead". If it is a sin?, I know I've committed much greater ones, but have been forgiven through repentance and supplication in prayer. Tattoos or not, I know Jesus loves me, forgives me, and I know He knows I love Him.
I love this guy
What is the definition of sin? 1 John 3:4 says sin is the transgression of the Law. By that definition, tattoos are sinful. We should be careful not to twist scripture to fit our own desires and cultures. The point is to be set apart and holy.
To say gettin toxic ink placed into your skin that your body is continuously trying to remove is not a sin is to conform to the world.
Also a great point. They fade because your body is continuously rejecting them, breaking them down and fading them.
@@justabunneh6490 Exactly.
the people i meet who are “christian” and against tattoos. end up revealing all there hypnotically dark secrets through there exposure and lifestyle. the biggest gossipers, slanders and liars.
OK question, ive had talks with my mom and she has said stuff like this before where some stuff in the old testament was designed for the Israelites, or as my mom would say, it was designed for the cultures of their time. At what point are these rules no longer a cultural thing? Like for example, why is women wearing jeans okay now because of "our culture" but homosexuality or other sins like that are not? Culturally it is okay to do drugs or other sins so why aren't those okay? I'm not trying to defend any sin or whatever I would just like some clarification maybe.
Thank you
I've been curious cause I got my ears pierced before I became a Christian and I've wondered if I should not wear earrings anymore. I've worn them a lot less because I didn't have a sure answer. And about tattoos, I wanted one but never got one because I was unsure. I have a teacher who has the reference James 1:2-4 on his arm. I've wondered if that was okay or not
I wouldn’t recommend getting tattoos or piercings because of their association with pagan worship of false gods, and also because the body of a believer is God’s temple.
I genuinely wish I never got any tattoos
People say no because thats the old testament as well..... well, the ten comandments are in the old testament too 😮
Where does it say in the OT law to not get piercings?
It doesn’t. The Israelites had earrings and nose rings. In fact, that’s what Abraham’s servant gave Rebekah before they married.
Pastor Daniel Adams on TH-cam has a good video on tattoos if you are indecisive on whether or not you should get a tattoo as a Christian I pray that you will follow the voice and the will of the Lord and lean not on your own understanding. If you got tattoos in your past I understand but should Christians now get tattoos the short answer is no.
Does ear piercing is also a sin?plz reply me because I am very confused and I am about to do so...
Amen 🙏
I recently got a beautiful tattoo of "mat. 6:33" on my hand. No regret 😇
The law of Moses said honour your father and mother. I got one small anchor tattoo on my left ankle that’s hidden with socks on. I got this tattoo because it meant something to me I’m a sailor and it represents that I am anchored in my faith and it was a good memory with my friends when getting it.
I also did this against my parents wishes and my pastor said broke that commandment. I still love and respect my parents and pastor guidance and teaching.
I moved away to another state in Australia from country Queensland to the big city smoke of Sydney New South Wales. I no longer see or even talk to my parents on a regular basis.
I contemplate if this was the right thing to do. I could use some wisdom right now from you Issac or you daily disciple audience.
I want to get another two tattoos in the Hebrew language “Ahavah” and “Shema “ that is the words in translation to English “Love” and “Listen” represents my love for God and I have to listen to him daily.
What book and scripture verse in the bible can help me make my decision ?
Praying for you Issac and your ministry. Please pray for me with my life choices and life’s difficulty
Id say there should be three rules when getting tattoos. The tattoos have to be appropriate, beautiful, and in moderation.
What about being a tattoo artist ?
Amen❤️🔥
Amen!
There’s more in depth of a reason why God stated not to make those marks on yourself. Most symbols people get tattooed are literally pagan origin. My friend had gotten a tattoo of a heart with a dagger going in with the number 23 inside, oddly enough when turning 23 she got her heart BROKEN. It made me think, these might have spiritual meanings etc. Then again I have other friends who have tattoos that reminds them of their relationship with God which makes unbelievers curious. Everything you do it has to be based on intention. Some people justify their tattoos when theyre getting it to be sexually appealing even if it’s a cross! still weary on tattoos though being that I think it’s a deeper meaning than just a simple image.
WHAT PPL DONT REALIZE, is that the new testament has forgiven some of the old "laws" of the old testament... Which is where Leviticus is ... Jesus himself never spoke of tatoos in that way
Is it just me or has had a boom in production quality
I always wanted to have "ליהוה" (The LORD's) tattooed on my right wrist, as a reference to Isaiah 44:5, but I know I'll never regret not getting a tattoo
Piercings varies such as ear piercings if you got them very very VERY young
