“Leviticus 19:28 New Living Translation (NLT)
“Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the LORD.”

I have seen a few guys with bible verses tattoo’d all over them. I guess they missed that one..
We attended a wedding recently. All the women were from a fairly large church that the bride attended. Every one was covered with tattoos, everywhere except their faces. Some of them would have been quite attractive if they weren’t all marked up.
While I totally understand and agree when it comes to our bodies ascgiven from birth, I question whether Leviticus 19:28 should bind the conscience now that Christ by His marks has redeemed all flesh.
In other words, that directive applied in view of Jewish ceremonial law, which has been fulfilled. I hearken to maintaining my body as given regardless of this verse.
Went to a Sunday service at a local church, one I had never been to before. The pastor came to the pulpit with both his arms heavily tattooed. I walked out, never went back.
