should I get a tattoo?
I'm a Christian and I am also broke but when I get some money should I get a tattoo? I want a few tattoos with words. I think that would be cool!

Getting some ink is great, although it's forbidden within your religion. However, it's also written within the same guidelines you can beat women, stone children, and rape virgins.
Since you probably (hopefully) throw all of these stipulations away, might as well scrap the tattoo opposition and express yourself.

"Judy Jetson" has a really good answer, but there is at least one other citation in the Bible, which I cannot now remember (in the New Testament I believe) that reiterates what "Judy Jetson" cited in Leviticus. The Bible states God's objections to adornment of the body in any way, one of which is tattooing. I'll be sure to remember to look that up sometime tonight or tomorrow. I wish my son had heeded that directive by God. His tattoos might have looked "cool" back when he got them, but I feel certain he either has or will regret them in the future, simply for appearances sake if not at some time for God's sake. God Bless you.

Get this verse
Leviticus 19:28 You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the LORD.

Makes more sense to me.

No.. The bible tells us do not mark up your body.
Lev:19:28
“Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the LORD.

The religious have silly, backwards ways about them.
