The only tattoos I'd consider would be around my nipples to make them look more feminine. Apart from that, it's not my place to judge. I wouldn't get them myself.

The God of Abraham is warning us not to cut ourselves or to apply tattoos on our skin. So when we reject the warnings of our God we are committing a sin. I believe God looks at tattoos as graffiti covering His work of art which is our natural skin. So that is how tattoos originated as being Satanic because it's something going against the teachings of our God. Christians have made the mistake in believing that Jesus freed us from having to follow these Old Testament laws and regulations and can now get as many tattoos and piercings as we please which is not really the case at all and that these Old Testament laws and regulations still apply today no matter what mankind thinks.

Tattooing is by no means a modern practice. Tattoo-bearing Egyptian and Libyan mummies have been found that date back hundreds of years before the time of Christ. Tattooed mummies have also been found in South America. Many of the tattooed images were directly related to the worship of pagan gods. According to researcher Steve Gilbert, “the earliest known tattoo that is a picture of something, rather than an abstract pattern, represents the god Bes. In Egyptian mythology Bes is the lascivious god of revelry.”
Significantly, the Mosaic Law forbade God’s people to tattoo themselves. Said Leviticus 19:28: “You must not make cuts in your flesh for a deceased soul, and you must not put tattoo marking upon yourselves. I am Jehovah.” Pagan worshipers, such as the Egyptians, tattooed the names or symbols of their deities on their breast or arms. By complying with Jehovah’s ban on tattoo markings, the Israelites would stand out as different from other nations.—Deuteronomy 14:1, 2.
While Christians today are not under the Law of Moses, the prohibition it laid on tattooing is sobering. (Ephesians 2:15; Colossians 2:14, 15) If you are a Christian, you would certainly not want to make markings on your body—even temporarily—that smack of paganism or false worship.—2 Corinthians 6:15-18. There are also health concerns you should consider. Dr. Robert Tomsick, an associate professor of dermatology, comments: “What you’re doing is breaking the skin and introducing pigmented material into the area. Even though the needle only goes in a little way, anytime you break the skin, you have a risk of bacterial or viral infection. I think [getting a tattoo] is generally a risky thing to do.” Dr. Tomsick continues: “Once pigment is in, even if there’s no infection, there’s always the chance of contact allergies, dermatitis and allergic reactions that can cause skin to get red, swollen, crusty and itchy.” Like all fads, tattoos may lose their appeal over time. Really, is there any garment—whether a pair of jeans, a shirt, a dress, or a pair of shoes—that you love so much that you would commit to wearing it for the rest of your life? Of course not! Styles, cuts, and colors change. Unlike a piece of clothing, however, tattoos are hard to shed. Besides, what is “cool” to you when you are 16 might not be very appealing when you are 30.

If you aren't Christian, then why does it matter if tattoos are against Christianity?
Let me put it this way. If Christians say "no, you can't get another tattoo because it's a sin." are you going to get one anyway? If so, then shut the hell up.
I don't go to muslims and ask them if it's ok to eat bacon and then say "ha ha, but I'm not a muslim and I'm going eat bacon anyway. I just wanted to ask you first, so I could ignore you and feel like I'm special."

Well let us hope those tattoos won't run together and overlap each other
plus an Ankh with Jesus on it is suggested
