.- Some Christians have tattoos on their skin, even pastors of recognized churches, however, for some Christians tattooing is a sin that the Bible condemns.
In this article we will see the position on tattoos and what the Holy Scripture says about tattoos on the skin.
Those who condemn tattoos justify that God indicates it in Leviticus 19:28: “You shall not make scratches on your body for a dead person, neither shall you impress any mark on yourselves. I Jehovah.”
In chapter 19 of Leviticus, God spoke to the Israelis about how to live a holy life and dictates a series of fundamental laws so that they live according to his will.
Some literally claim that God abhors skin markings, while others explain that the Lord is against tattooing pagan figures, reports Hallelujah.

The blogger Martha López, assures that some Christians reject tattoos merely out of prejudice, in addition, she indicated that they decontextualize chapter 19 of Leviticus.
Martha maintains that perhaps God carried out the Leviticus commandments to protect the health of the people and not to condemn some actions such as tattooing, she also defended the tattoo technique, since it has been modernized.
The soccer player David Luiz, of Christian religion, said in an interview in 2015 that he did not like tattoos because he did not need to hide. Furthermore, he explained that his body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.
Peter said, “Outward adornment is not as important as interior development and should not be the focus of a Christian’s attention (1 Peter 3:3-4).
For this reason, a person who tattoos himself to attract attention or feel that his body belongs to him has a vain and sinful approach.
The page Got Questions concludes that getting a tattoo is not unbiblical, however, the sin will lie in the type of tattoo that is made or the approach that is given to it.
