  • Are tattoos sinful? Will I be viewed a rebellious? Is it satanic? Can a Christian get a tattoo? In today's video, Jon talks about common misconceptions that many believers have about tattoos, and unpacks what the Bible really teaches about body art.

    You had me at "tat-mooooo".
    In having this conversation a time or two, I usually refer also to Mark 7:14-23. Yes, Jesus is talking about food here, however, the same argument can be applied to tattoos; “there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him.”

      Roadside Reasoning Tattoos are sin because of bloodletting and shamanism which is witchcraft. Cutting the flesh, branding, tattooing are spiritually covenants. Leviticus's 19:28 says for the dead, (COMMA) NOR PRINT ANY MARK. Two different things are being said. This guy took the scripture out of context. Pastors have casted out demons connected to tattoos and Christian tattoos. Tattoos is apart of a lot more than idolatry, but is also apart of witchcraft, cutting the flesh, and being rebellious against God. Those who have tattoos as Christians should repent and ask the Holy Spirit to break any spiritual covenants in the name of Jesus.
      God Bless

    Being "branded" with tattoos while using the word of God doesn't make you a better Christian or draws you closer. In my opinion like you gave yours in this video, you wanna draw closer to God and show that you've been branded by him, it's by showing his love, doing his work and being a living testimony not a drawn one. God isn't moved by our tattoos but by our actions on how we live our lives as born again Christians. I think this will cause more confusion to those uncertain of this topic because it's your interpretation of the Bible. We view things the way they're convenient to us as it's our human nature to justify what we shouldn't be doing.

      Smh brainwashing is REAAALLLL.
      Read your Bible.. he has good arguments because he isn't taking them out of context as you are.. just saying, perhaps a year later but still.. your ignorance is palatable.. When you HEAR someone but don't LISTEN, you are stuck in that ignorance.
      BTW.. Nice earrings.. you defiled your body.. pretty sad hypocrisy there bud.. lol
      Oh.. and another, small issue with your stance.. you uh... say that God is moved "by our actions" but Jesus himself told us that we can not enter heaven but by having Faith.. it is by HIS GRACE alone we are saved.. good works won't do it for us... good deeds useless.. to be accepted by Him is to let go of your hatred for those who don't believe as you do and allow them to it with the FAITH and UNDERSTANDING that God must mold them as He sees fit..
      "The truth is that, though we were justified by faith alone, the faith that justifies is never alone (it always produces fruit, "good works,"...a transformed life)."
      - J.I. Packer
      See.. the "good works" come as a result of truly being reborn in Christ.. but they won't lead to salvation.. the "sin" of a tattoo, no worse than those big ugly hoop rings you're sporting ;-)

    Hey Jon I never thought about that verse in that way, it is quite refreshing. As I said when you did the video about Halloween, I don't like tattooes so I won't get them on me, but the stuff you said about idolatry and belonging to someone else, man, that was new for me.

    I wholeheartedly agree with you Jon. Thank you for saying the word "context". Far too many people take Scripture out of context and form a personal theology on that. WRONG!!!!!
    I have two tattoos. The first tattoo I got after I had an identity crisis which led me into a very dark place. The Holy Spirit affirmed my identity in Christ and I had a new coat of arms designed based on the prophetic words I had been given over the course my life. I then had that tattooed on my left shoulder. The second one is my wife's name and our wedding date, which is on my left wrist - this isn't because I idolise my wife, but rather because I hold to the permanent institution of marriage and that my wife is my team mate, my other whole, and together we make God-glorifying decisions that will extend the Kingdom of God and His renown.

      BUT it's perfectly okay to be convinced in your own mind that tattoos are terrible/vow to never get one - that is your own conscience, your own individuality but do not enforce it on anyone else.

    • @dj13calli

      Dwaine Hohne The thing is he took the scripture out of context. Leviticus 19:28 says two different things. ““Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the LORD.”
      It is clear God doesn't want us getting tattoos. Those who have them should repent and seek the Holy Spirit for the truth.

    I liked what you said about idolatry. And I think there are tattoos that can honor God. But I also think that we have to be careful when considering if getting a tattoo will honor God. There are cases in which having a tattoo could be a hinderance to following God's plan for your future, especially if you don't put it in a place that can be covered if necessary. Then, it would be selfish decision to bring attention to yourself. I just encourage those that want to make this decision to do what you said: ask what will bring the most glory to God

    My tattoos all have Christian meaning behind them. My first was a prayer when I was young. It's a poke and stick of a small cross. Most of my sleeve has religious significance behind it and I've actually had many chances to share it to non-believers. My tattoo artist throughout the year he was working on me actually began sanding off his 666 tattoo simply because he felt like it was wrong and he said that he liked having conversations that were different. There were a couple other Christians with lots of tattoos at that time. It was really neat to watch his life and another friends life be surrounded by Christians who also had tattoos...Thanks for this...I also have a video that explains the meanings of my sleeve if you want to check it out

    i've seen both good and bad people with tattoos. i've seen both good and bad people without tattoos. so i don't think God would send someone into eternal damnation simply because of superficial markings on the skin.
    but if i were to say is it allowed or not for Christians to have them, i dont know. all i know is that having no tattoo makes your appearance cleaner and more tidy, so you will be able to please the general public more, thus making it more conducive for expressing your faith and representing our Lord.
    but then again my youth leader has tribal themed tattoos on his arms, yet he is the friendliest and most approachable man in our church, making positive changes to many of our youths. so will his good deeds be cancelled out by God because of his tattoos?
    my personal conclusion is that it's not wrong to have tattoos, as long as you are willing to accept (and if possible, change) the social stigma that comes along with it.
    personally, i wont get a tattoo because God blessed me with a nerdy look, so having a tattoo will only make me look like i'm trying too hard to be cool. so yeah, there's that.

      And tattoos can help your ministry with many groups and usually they can be covered up if its helpful but its the holy spirit that is doing the work, so if you are filled with the holy spirit and the spirit is moving ahead of you, you tattoos will not stop the Holy Spirit from doing it's work.

      Ok. Let's use your logic. Eve: Hey, Adam! I don't think God will do anything if we just take a little bite of the fruit. Adam: I think you right. Give it to me let me take a bite. (God said I am the Lord. You must do a study of this term I am the Lord. It he said don't do it. Don't do it. You have to ask yourself if it is such a hard thing when the command is clear. Who is it that is tempting you. I can hear him now. Did God really say not to eat of this tree. Let be cautious the enemy is very crafty. God bless you!

      Lazelle Cronje Tattoos are sin because of bloodletting and shamanism which is witchcraft. Cutting the flesh, branding, tattooing are spiritually covenants. Leviticus's 19:28 says for the dead, (COMMA) NOR PRINT ANY MARK. Two different things are being said. This guy took the scripture out of context. Pastors have casted out demons connected to tattoos and Christian tattoos. Tattoos is apart of a lot more than idolatry, but is also apart of witchcraft, cutting the flesh, and being rebellious against God. Those who have tattoos as Christians should repent and ask the Holy Spirit to break any spiritual covenants in the name of Jesus.
      God Bless

      Hebrews 10:26 You can repent for past things but after getting knowledge of the truth and decide to do whatever it is that goes against what you learned about there no longer is an excuse, you sin willfully.

    God made you perfect why would you want to draw on his creation.
    Galatians 5:16-18,
    But I say, walk by the Spirit, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would. But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law.
    Leviticus 19:28, which says: “You must not put tattoo marking upon yourselves." (Tattoos are tattoos regardless of it being 2000 years ago and now)
    “Women should adorn themselves with . . . modesty.” (1 Timothy 2:9)
    As women we must be modest and not have anything to attract others to our flesh.
    Tattoo's don't glorify God it is only a flesh desire.
    1 John 2:15
    Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
    Tattoo originated from paganism. Gods word does not change. No matter how hard you try to study it. It's blatant.
    As Christians we must set ourselves apart from the world.
    Things that are not Holy like hurting your skins with a needle to permanently have a drawing isn't Holy.
    Isn't glorifying God in any way regardless if you have a tattoo saying I love God.
    We must walk in the steps of Jesus Christ. Imagine Jesus Christ going to a tattoo parlor getting a tattoo saying I love God.... are you kidding me.
    Sometimes we have to use our obvious thinking.
    People are always trying to sugar coat and change Gods word up. 2000 years ago and now Gods word does not change.
    So no, a true Christian walking with the Holy Spirit should not get a tattoo. And if they were really with Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit will guide them to not do such things if they open their hearts to the Holy Spirit.
    God is not stupid and his words are straight forward.
    Don't prophesies false teachings.

      I myself don't have any tattoos and i'm not really considering any either but I'm curious to hear what you think of modern medicine needles and surgery is needed would this fall into hurting the skin in your mind set One would argue it would what about your common vaccinations? I guess I'm saying to what end? I feel it's more important to have a Close relationship with God first and ask God about if it's a good idea for you if all sines are pointing to yes that is between you and God and no one else it is not for us to judge so ask God is the very best way In my mind but that's what works for me. It's so easy to get caught up in worldly things I'd ask to stay true to your spiritual self. I also believe that a lot of people talk to the outside of their body to get the terrible demons of the passed out by seeing it every day it can help to never go back or to remember who you are now so as I've said to each there own just keep God in the loop. I worry of if it's hurting the body inside? That's one of my fears.

    I have been wanting to get a couple tattoos (a cross and the Hebrew word "zakar" -- "remember", and a scale with head and heart on each side, and flowers), but I was raised by Christian parents who believe all tattoos are sinful and evil, period. I really want to have that meaningful, God-centric art on my body, but I was feeling really anxious about whether my parents were right.
    Your video was so funny and so light-hearted, even before we got into the meat of the matter you had calmed my worries and helped me relax. Thank you for that.
    Also, I've always privately felt like if my body is a temple for the Holy Spirit, I'd love to decorate it with beautiful art for Him -- and I feel like He would love that too!

    Hey Brother Jon 🤗
    I will begin by saying I really enjoy your videos, your funny introductions😂 and sharing your very studious perspectives👍 Although you make very good points on this subject, & I do agree, but speaking about this same matter the other day with my friend, I sincerely asked God to just guide me to His Truth. So a couple nights ago, out of nowhere, I felt the urge to pick up the Bible and The Lord just took me thru many, many enlightening verses, but I'll just share this one: "All things are lawful, but all are not profitable; all things are lawful, but all do not edify." That is MY experience and I am actually tatted but this was wayyy before I encountered Christ, & maybe I wanted to get one assuming I can glorify God, but in reality, would HE considerate honorable? But regardless, I love you sharing all this information with us and yeaah..just wanted to share 😊 jeje peeeace&love!

    Good video. There are alot of arguments on this topic. I'm of the view that Christians shouldnt have tattoos, especially after knowing Christ (it's different if it was in your past). However, your explanation is really thorough and biblical. Makes perfect sense. God cannot be put in a box. He works in mysterious ways and uses whatsoever He wishes (even a tattoo) to make His name known. I guess we just have to follow God's leading in our heart. Blessings! ❤👍

      Olivia Brownie Tattooing was called bloodletting back in the ancient times. You know......that time period where God told the Israelites or those that followed him not to learn the ways of the heathen. Bloodletting aka Tattooing today have occult origins and was used by Satanist, witches, Sorcerers, Luciferians, pagans etc to mark themselves and the victims during rituals. You think God is okay with Christians bloodletting his name on flesh when he clearly told us not to do it in his word?

    Dad says "Don't eat these cookies after dinner." Kids start analyzing the reasoning behind it. It appears that dad banned eating cookies after dinner because doing so would increase my blood sugar level and keep me from getting a good night's sleep, which is very important because I am a little kid and I need to sleep a lot to grow. Sister goes ahead and eats the cookies because she works night shift and "dinner" for everyone is breakfast for her. Brother also eats the cookies after dinner because he is a college student and needs to stay up late to prepare for finals. Getting good grades would make dad happy and therefore eating cookies after dinner is totally ok for him. In fact, it honored dad because he uploaded a picture of himself eating the cookies on Instagram with "#MydadIsAwesome."
