I’m not tattooed. But the fact remains that the Catholic Church doesn’t (and never has, to my knowledge) condemn tattoos, unless they are so obscene and/or damaging that they fall under the more general prohibitions against compromising the dignity of the human person.
Hello.....they don’t need to come out....it’s IMPLIED in OUR TEACHINGS.....Your BODY is a TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT....DON’T DEFILE IT.
Well the Church may not condemn tattoos but here’s a verse that does:
Leviticus 19:28 Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)
28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord.
