The "cuttings" for the dead refers to grief stricken people mutilating themselves over the loss of a loved one. The "print any marks" is generally thought of to refer to superstitious people who got tattoos (or brands) to commemorate their false gods. (At least that's what the several commentators I refer to say.)

I don't see any Biblical prohibition against tattoos in general. I don't have a tattoo, and don't plan on getting one, but I don't think it's necessarily a sin. Do you?

I don’t consider it a sin, I’m a Christian and have tattoos, I really don’t see the problem with them. Now I wouldn’t go get a tat of naked girl and profess to be a Christian, mine are music themed since I am a drummer and guitarist. It’s one of the ways I express my love of music and that’s all there is to it. One of mine is one of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s guitar “Lenny”. He is one of my favorite guitarists.
