The Bible does not specifically prohibit Christians from getting tattoos, as they are considered a form of artistic expression rather than pagan practices. While some Christians may choose not to get tattoos for personal reasons, the Bible does not specifically forbid the practice. Leviticus 19:28, often cited, addresses pagan practices of the time, not artistic expression.
Christian tattoos may be permissible, but they are not necessarily beneficial or constructive. Paul exclaims in 1 Corinthians 9:22-23 that he has become all things to all men so that by all possible. Many Christians have debated whether tattoos are acceptable or not based on biblical teachings. Some argue that tattoos are forbidden because the Bible states, “You shall”. However, there is no specific scripture that restricts or permits a Christian to have a tattoo.
Some Christians get tattoos with religious symbols such as crosses, angels, or verses from the Bible. Today, the stance on tattoos varies widely among Christian communities. Some denominations openly accept tattoos, viewing them as personal expressions akin to other art. One main concern is the verse in Leviticus 19:28, which states, “You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo”.
Christianity isn’t a religion, but a relationship. If a person getting a tattoo feels convicted in their spirit, they shouldn’t get it. Armed With Truth, a studio near the Church of the Nativity, designs and sells temporary press-on tattoos based on passages from the Bible.

If we’re going to be so concerned with Levitical law, then we need to be concerned with all of them and not pick and choose. Levitical law says “you shall not make cuts on your body or tattoo yourselves”. It also says that we should be executing people who commit adultery. I don’t see anyone fighting for that. There’s a Levitical law that states meat with blood in it should not be consumed. One could argue that a rare steak fits that bill. Should we stop eating rare/ medium rare steaks? We can’t pick and choose which Levitical law we’re going to hold the church to.
