To Get or Not to Get a Tattoo?
I have several Christian friends who are on the fence with this. They really want to get a tattoo but they don’t want to disobey God’s word. After knowing that the Old Testament laws no longer apply, they’re still thinking twice about getting one.
When they ask for my opinion, how do I answer? Simple. I tell them that if they’re having doubts or have to think twice about it, then it probably means that they don’t really need to have one.
To be open with you, I myself got inked three years ago and I still have no regrets to date. My tattoo is a symbol of a hardship I had to go through. It reminds me how I overcame it and how the power of love and forgiveness helped me through it. The truth is, I didn’t think twice about getting it then because I wholeheartedly know that it made me a better person and that tattoo, will be a constant reminder to me of how God healed my heart.
So, should you get one or not? The answer is for you to know. Ask yourself these three questions: 1) Will I be disfiguring the beauty of my body? 2) What is my real motive behind getting it? 3) How modest can I be with my tattoo?
