This channel should do a debate on the morality of tattos. That would draw quite the audience!
Debate the morality of the Fifth Commandment? No. Tattooes are a form of bodily mutilation, and that's a sin. There can be no debate. (Unless for some reason they are used to identify a body for some specific purpose, such as soldiers in combat, for when they are killed... then again, that's pretty discreet.) Otherwise, they are immoral. (And ugly, in all cases, especially for women)
@@dogueerrant1151 I don't disagree with you. I read in a Examination of Conscience that excessive tattos are a mortal sin, I just think it's interesting that Mr. Fradd and Mr. Lesnefsky are so comfortable with them. I don't necessarily want a debate on morality as much as their thoughts. My apologizes if my comment was making it seem otherwise. God bless.
@@emmadumais2337 I see. Sorry if my comment seemed a little venomous. This kind of thing just drives me crazy. God bless, and have a good week.
@@dogueerrant1151 Interesting that you see it as mutilation
@@dogueerrant1151 Can you lay out the argument against tattoos with each premise because I don’t really understand the argument?
Trippy... Briefly spoke with my brother just a few hours ago about my great dislike for tattoos and this pops up right as I am heading to bed.
Maybe the phone is big bro and can hear and see everything
@@tabiripetrovich517 it's certainly true that the phone is listening to my conversations and adjust ads and videos based on that, but I'm sure Pints with Aquinas didn't know about that when they decided to upload the video (since my convesation with my brother was before this video got uploaded.)
It's kind of weird how tattoos symbolize permanence of ink and impermanence of life in this unglorified body... Or maybe I've been listening to Jonathan Pageau for too long.
Too many levels of meaning in existence!
Nonono. You're right on the money, Fr. Brown.

Most people regret their tattoos later in life
“Lack of profundity”-Jonathan pageau
I really like this video after minute 5:22 when Matt says, "I feel like tattoos are like your child's names. You never want to admit that it was a mistake."
Lesnefsky: "Oh wow."
I would just like to add, for any youth considering becoming the next illustrated man or woman, the following; Lesnefsky used the word "permanent" more than a few times. Now that's the big problem. Getting tattoos is like seeing a really awesome shirt in a really cool store. Then buying it, wearing it, and having to wear it for an entire month, unable to take it off night or day. That month turns into a year and that year turns into 50 years. Very quickly you realize that you have surrendered a very significant part of your free will. You chose, of your own free will, to put on the awesome shirt, but now you cannot choose to take it off. Ever.
I don’t know if I can get on board with that. Feels flippant. Doodles on the temple indeed.
the temple had *many* "doodles" on it. the Lord knows we are compelled to scribble on every in sight. if the nature of life is any indication, it's something we get from him.
Devoted Catholic man with sleeves checking in. This dude is great. He has a great attitude and he is doing amazing things with kids in the city. That is awesome and I think Jesus would agree.
Honestly, I strongly dislike tattoos. I know there are sincere reasons behind why some people get them but I just feel like they make people look like they need a shower 🤷🏻♀️ I don’t know if there are any cases where they’re sinful (apart from profane tattoos) but they’re just not my cup of tea.
Bodily mutilation is a sin against the 5th commandment. Getting a tattoo is certainly, according to (traditional) Catholic moral teaching, a form of that. So it is always sinful, according to the traditional teaching of the Church. Fr. Ripperger explains this at some length on some video over at Sensus Fidelium channel(if they're not banned again?).
Impass0124, I'm interested in your avatar as I've seen someone else use it. What does it signify please?
@@lovejesuschrist3063 it’s the Arabic letter that’s equivalent to the letter N and it stands for Nazarenes which has been used as an insult against Arab Christians. It just signals support of oppressed Christians in Muslim-majority countries.
@@impasse0124 Wonderful, thanks for letting me know. God bless our persecuted brothers and sisters.
So people without tattoos dont ever look like they need a shower? 🤔
I’ve never seen a tattoo I thought improved the look of a person. To me it’s like slapping a bumper sticker on a lamborghini miura.
I once saw a photographic documentary on women who survived beast cancer and where badly scared. They decided to have tattoos done . The images were incredibly expressive and thoughtful. The art of the photos and the tattoos have stayed in my mind for years. They were nothing sort of victorious and full of hope.
By the same logic, an untattooed body is like buying a Million Dollar House and hanging no art inside it, never painting it, not even putting furniture in it. Sure the building itself has intrinsic value but its a hollow cave of wood, drywall and brick until the owner decorates it and makes it a home.
@@Jack-hd1znin that case, tattoos are a toddler’s drawing on the walls and your clothing choices are the paintings you hang around the house
i have a few concerns about the tattoos. I've heard an exorcist saying that some of the inks are devoted to demons. the tattoo artist propably doesn't know that when they are buying the ink but it's still possible and as it turns out it's not that rare. what's more aren't tattoos a form of cultivating pagan traditions? I mean lots of native tribes practice tattoo art as form of their religious rituals and ect. i by no means want to judge you guys but i think it would be interesting to bring up the moral aspect of tattooing in one of the podcast, the Church's teaching on that matter. God bless you ❤
Very well said. I think tattoos can be good if they are meaningful but we have to think about what we are permanently marking our body with. A tattoo of a money bag might not be the best idea since it is marking us for the world rather than give glory to God. If one is to get a tattoo, plenty of time and thought needs to go into it so that it isn't some last minute thing.
@@thethreefriends3002read my post brother. Can you bless(say your grace) and eat the food offered to idols? Can you chant Jesus instead of the mantras/slokas and do Yoga? Can you mix a little of evil with good?. As a rule of thumb always go to the root or origins of the matter. Personally I wouldn't put even the face of our Lord with crown of thorns or the Crucifix. Should I then complain to the Lord when I have lots of problems ( like a heavy cross or crown of problems) in my life. God wills our obedience and our sanctification. God bless
It is interesting to note that, for example, it is an extremely old tradition among Coptic Christians to receive tattoos of a cross on the wrist (I have heard of some on the forehead perhaps?) as a way of showing their faith. I say that to say, it isn’t simply pagan tradition!
I think that specifically what you're talking about could be henna. Most people see Henna as fine because it isn't permanent, but it comes specifically from a fertility goddess ritual thing. I don't know if any other tattoo inks now in use are linked to stuff like that. Regardless, I don't personally believe that people should get tattoos except in grave cases. I think that Thomas Aquinas makes them only ok if it is something needed to identify a soldier or prisoner etc. But I'm not sure
If you look up the word "Tattoo" in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, you wont find it. Because Tattoos are not discussed in the Catechism. Or in any Encyclical or Magisterial Church Document. This "issue" is one Mother Church feels confidant that the faithful can choose and decide for themselves. So for any of you claiming, "The Tradition of the Church states..." no it does not. Just stop it.
Tattoos are not evil, otherwise they would be stated as such. They arent made with "Demonic ink" or used to make the Temple of God, "Dirty". They are artistic expression, plain and simple. Or, are you all against Art too? Do you support the smashing of Holy Icons too?
If we arent meant to adorn or decorate our bodies, then ban makeup too. And hair products. No nice clothing either, must not distract people from their pursuit of God's Grace. Jewlery is out too, so much for wedding rings (Promise rings too!). No watches either. And definately no smoking of any kind- Cigs, Cigars, pipes, e-cigs, etc.- now THOSE things do so, so much more harm to the body than tattoos ever could.
So unless you plan on setting the example of a Tattooless, Cosmetic-less, plain clothing wearing Catholic who owns no jewlery, consumes no tobacco products and has no personality outside being Catholic, then your arguments are void.
I have intrinsic bias against tattoos Most people I see with tattoos have no creed and there is superficiality to them, feels really sad to see people covered with them.
Cool clip! Going into a more wider range of topics!
And as an artist I am fascinated with the art people choose to make permanent on their skin as canvas. I have seen some beautiful portraits of Jesus . I mean stunning.
Tats are great for conversation, expecally for me with Social Anxiety. And Ink is one of the three subjects that if I get going on I have to try to get myself to shut up lol If anyone's wondering the thee subjects are Ink, music and Jesus.
I advise against tattooes because most people who consider getting them will ABSOLUTELY regret it. But lots of people are responsible and will get tasteful and sensible tattooes. Never get the tramp stamp. Never get the butterfly on the ankle. Never get your girlfriend's name.
My Mother's Uncle had a naked lady tattooed on this forearm when he was like nine! His uncles took him out and got him drunk, and had him tattooed, this was like 80 years ago, but could you imagine that happening today?!? 🤔😳🙄🥺 The little guy's mother was horrified, to say the least!?! 😪🙄🤣😅🤣😅
If the idea of nude women in art offends you, i wouldnt go to St. Peter's Bascillica in Vatican City, or St. John Lateran in Rome, or pretty much any church built before 1750
@Jack-hd1zn I wasn't referring to the nudity but that he was 9 years old at the time!?! 🤔🧐😳🙄🥴 If that happened in today's world, I'm sure they would be arrested, both the Uncle's and Tattoo artist! My post was way over your head! 🧐😳🥴
Great video Matt. You have very tactfully counselled against tattoos. If I have understood your intent correctly. And your guest, who is very gracious, said the word "permanent" several times. Perfect.
Keep order is better, keeping order with your body and spirit. Why adding ink on a skin that was given to us by God? When I used to be world/worldly I wanted a tattoo, now that I am living my conversion, Thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, I am very happy that I never got a tattoo. One less scare to worry.
Don’t agree friend. I’m a Marian Catholic and getting tattoos Catholic one’s so as to evangelise through them! God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!! Please watch these videos - the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins. The Papacy can NOT be destroyed. Following Padre Pio. Don’t call protestant’s Christian.
@@simonslater9024 it sounds very similar as if someone that likes drinking a lot, wants to make a bar with a bunch of Catholic images to evangelize through it. It just does not make any sense, but people can do whatever they want with their lives. They have free will. God bless you!
Honestly, tattoos look like bad graffiti that can never be washed off or painted over.
Being from the same area I knew Bob was from Philly, love it
Dude! Love the tatts!
We got our first tattoos at 36. Husband wants new ones all the time now. I have three that are meaningful to me and no strong desire for more.
Tattoos do not violate the telos of the skin, they are not immoral. They have the potential to be of course but there is nothing intrinsically wrong about them.
Fr. Ripperger says it is a mortal sin while all to one non-traditionalist priests say it is not a sin at all. @pintswithaquinas, has the Church ever anywhere anyhow condemned tattoos?
What is going on in this world? Tattoo is good???
Matt, we expect more …what it the underlying disordered attachment that has people decorating their bodies …ask deeper questions …
Is it sinful to have that many tattoos though?
I like this guy.
He has a natural aura of confidence and masculinity.
I find him attractive
Some say yes
some say no
I say I don't know
I legit might get into tattoo removal (my last one is less than 3 days old).
Tattoos on a woman almost always signify hurt/damage. Tattoos are the secular mockery of the indelible mark of Baptism.
also "I'm open for business."
She's a non-profit organisation!
What I'm never hearing addressed in all these tatoo videos from Catholic talking heads: Is the Spirit of God really leading people to get tattoos? Or is this a "work of the flesh", an inclination of our sensate appetites that are at war with The Spirit? Interesting that Bob's "in" to "the club" was getting his skin marked/engraved in honor/remembrance of the dead, something that sounds very similar to something that is forbidden in scripture, AND, that he seems pretty ok not fighting his flesh inclination in this are. Throw in a nonchalant "doodle on The Temple" and it's really an appropriate question to ask what is Bob's Interior Life practice and how well does he really Know and Experience Communion with the Indwelling Presence of The Most Blessed Trinity. Whoof. Catholics getting tattoos and loving it. Whoof.
Boy, you must be a hoot a parties...
I feel that tattoos are not in accordance with God's will for how we should take care of our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. Also piercings. I teach my kids it's wrong.
Tattoos really ought to mean something, something about sacrifice or dedication, belief, etc. To amass tattoos that are just "neat" seems almost like a desecration of ones body, treating it like a graphic t shirt or a wall of graffiti.
I've seen Chris speak. He's a cool dude.
HIS DAUGHTER IS IN MY CLASS
If you purposely do something to your body which God will need to fix upon your resurrection, it is wrong. After he makes you whole and wipes away all those nasty tattoos, there will be price to pay--perfect mercy and perfect justice. He will probably ask you after he puts your body back in order, why would you do something to defile what he made as a Temple of the Holy Spirit? Of course, if you get tossed into hell, I suppose you don't care.
Well said Brother.
Who said that tattoos are mistakes? That's a bold claim and certainly not something to be presupposed, especially if it specifically honors God in some way.
@@brandonmason3311 why wouldnt they
@@thomasbailey921 So, I guess you did not read what I wrote? Your defects will all be gone when you face the four last things. That is death, judgement, heaven or hell. Missing teeth, eyeballs, legs, all will be returned to you. If you died old, you will be young again. If you were a child, you will be mature. If you had scars, they will be gone. And your nasty tatts will be gone too. All of them. So again, if it is something God has to repair, how can it be good? Of course, you are probably too arrogant to see it. God has the last word.
@@loveisaih2020 A Priest recently was preaching upon how important each of us are to God and therefore what we do is important to God. Most people, many of us at one time or another believe that if we are doing something privately or to ourselves, then it is not a problem. That just isn't the case. I was a Marine so I know how the tat thing works and how it gets out of control. People would wise up if only somebody in authority would man up and tell the truth.
This just isn't right, it comes down to asking the question, would Jesus or Mary get a tatoo, we are supposed to be working towards the imitation of Christ, so is Thomas Kempis wrong?
While I won't say this is true of all people who get tattoos, I will say that the explosion of this fad is largely because young people today are so desperate for anything that confers "instant artificial character". It's the only way they know how to get it.
I always told my teenage children when we saw people with tattoos, that it was a cry for help! 🤷🏻♀️🙏🏻
So you taught your children to judge people based on how they look but to not actually see if said person needs help.... not a great look.
By the way, we all should be daily crying out for the help of our Lord Jesus Christ, tattooed or not. Just saying...
Tattoos are stupid
And getting one is a form a bodily mutilation, and according to traditional Catholic moral teaching, that is a sin against the Fifth Commandment.
@@dogueerrant1151 bodily mutilation?!
@@thomasbailey921 yes indeed
@@zaidhm5687 What about circumcision then with most American having the procedure done?
First time ever I disliked a video on this channel. And I have always tried to ignore all the booze and cigars. As Catholics we are supposed to fight vice not to make it look acceptable. Onto next I guess.
You'd probably chastise Jesus for turning water to wine....
@@SneakyEmu Brother, we chastise Jesus every time we sin. Vice and sin should be avoided and followed by repentance not encouraged and be put on display.
@@brandonmason3311 I don't there is since the guy without qualification equated alcohol with vice..
@@Abrangendoo so why did Jesus provide alcohol for wedding guests if alcohol is sinful? Seems like you have a limited understanding of what a vice is.
@@SneakyEmu Do our bodies need alcohol, cigars or tatts to be sustained? You clearly don't know what a bad habit is because you probably don't have any. I have many, but I fight them daily and pray others do too. I don't intend to put them for show.
Human beings are not usually well known for their common sense. That's the problem with tattoos
I love my tattoo. I created it to represent that struggles women have in the military. My design is specific to USMC. It is clean.
Who cares? His tattoos have nothing to do with the faith.
It's a sin against the 5th commandment.
Not necessarily true
Brother in Christ read my post.
How do you know? Have you seen them all?
