If listening to Christian music is good why aren't tattoos related to Christianity good also?
I heard listening to music is a sin, but not if it's Christian. I also heard that tattoos, even when their Jesus/holy related, are bad. Why isn't it the same with tattoos like it is for music? It's basically the same concept... Please correct me if I'm wrong about the sins.

Your body is a loan from God, to see where your soul will live after your body gives out (dies) it is said your body is a "temple" a holy shrine. A masterpiece, you go off and spoil it, vandalize, corrupt. It will affect how you feel about your self and internally your soul will have to have a "talk with itself, you know those apologetic times" and that's it plain and simple.

Who told you music is a sin?
God made music and commands us to make music to Him!
Similarly who told you tattoos are a sin?
Granted you should be careful (even with Christian ones) not least because the OT says you shouldn't mark your body. That maybe true but for all the doomsayers who weigh down heavy on tattoos they should also look to themselves ..... do they eat things they shouldn't, are they overweight? do they fail to exercise their body like they should in order to honour God with it? do they smoke? do they drink? do they drink to much coffee? you get the idea!
Personally I wouldn't get a tattoo if they paid me. The fact it costs money is going to make an interesting conversation with God when those with tattoos try to justify the use of that money!

Music is no sin.
Music
Melodies and rhythms sung and played since early biblical times to express joy, praise, and worship (2 Sam. 6:5). It can be a form of prayer. The psalms were probably sung to simple melodies and accompanied by instruments.

Our body's are temples and we are not to defile our temples but to keep it clean at all times for the spirit of the lord cannot enter into a filthy temple it is the same with our body's .

Go with your intuition and trust your instincts, these are the first things that will be taken away from you in religious programming. The church authorities don't want you thinking and asking awkward questions.

Leviticus 19:28 says "You must not make cuts in your flesh for a dead person*, and you must not make tattoo making on yourselves. I am Jehovah."
*or "for a soul." The Hebrew word ne'phesh here refers to a dead person.
