The Tattoo will become the most desired 'thing' the last 3.5 Years of Daniels 70th week. If you know what Im talking then you understand the 'role' of the tattoo in that time frame. I will not expound any further on that coming 'piece of history' as God allows it to be used by those on this planet during those days.

Leviticus 19:28 says we must not make markings or tattoos on our body. Christians are not under the mosaic law so it would not be a sin to get a tattoo. The question is, is it a wise choice? Before getting a tattoo keep in mind possible health risks. If you are putting a symbol on your body do some research, you don't want to find out later that you unknowingly put a pagan symbol on your body. Think about how others may perceive you. You represent Christ so how you look, dress, act all can influence people's perception of you. Keep this scripture in mind:
[h=1]1 Corinthians 10:23Common English Bible (CEB)[/h] [SUP]23 [/SUP]Everything is permitted, but everything isn’t beneficial. Everything is permitted, but everything doesn’t build others up.
Even though we may have the right to get a tattoo, may it stumble our brother? How about if we are trying to give a witness to a nonbeliever, how will they view us?

Funny thing about this whole subject your statement here. I know many brothers and sisters that are tattooed from the crown of their heads to the soles of their feet and were that way before coming to Christ and are sons and daughters of God and reach people with tattoos for Christ that you and I could never reach.
it is written in GOD'S WORD: even those things that are sin, bad and wrong and unhealthy (like tattoos)
GOD causes to work together for GOOD to those who LOVE GOD , who are called according to HIS PURPOSE.
if GOD could not use what is sin, what is bad, what is wrong, then HE wouldn't be WHO HE SAYS HE IS.
it is written also, remember, just because HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT and WONDERFUL,doesn't mean it is
okay to go and sin on purpose. no. instead, repent, then go and sin no more. no more. no more. (people
usually (often) (often on purpose) miss the "go and sin no more" direction WORD from JESUS )

ARE you a doomsdayer? by watching your posts, you must live in a Cave, no electricity, no Tv , no Radio, no magazines or newspapers, no internet or anything that could 'cause a person to sin'... from the tone of your posts, a real christian has not tv or radio, or newpapers, or magazines or anything like that? you remind me of a certain denomination that 'taught the same thing' this outward PRESENCE of holiness, by what they had and didnt have, what they did and didnt do.......... I'm just waiting for some time when you call the 'internet' evil... then I will ask you .. how do you spue your 'doctrine' out of your mouth? is that the internet? you must have electricity.. those you teach others to do , not to have this or not to have that, shouldnt do this or shouldnt do that.. these by your 'standard'.. do you, YOURSELF do all that? or are you like the Scribes of Jesus Day who claimed to sit in Moses's seat........... said' do all this to make oneself appear Holy, but those same 'standards' they called others to live by.. THEY NEVER DID IT THEMSELVES.. what did Jesus Call those? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It really depends on your POV of the scripture.
1. If you do not believe in following the Torah, then no it would not be a sin based off of that POV.
2. a) If you do believe in following Torah you could go off the fact that it states in context not to mark/tattoo your body for someone who dies. So if you take literal context, getting a tattoo that is like a bible verse or an animal or something non-death related, then no I would believe it not be a sin.
2. b) Or if you're someone who follows Torah, and you look at the whole context of the chapter it is in. Leviticus 19 as a whole starts off stating:
Leviticus 19:1-2
"Adonai said to Moshe, [SUP]2 [/SUP]“Speak to the entire community of Isra’el; tell them, ‘You people are to be holy because I, Adonai your God, am holy."
Again if you follow Torah, and look at in this aspect God is calling His people to be a holy nation (not do as other nations do), and if you look at the whole context and not just the verse of being holy, then I would say that getting a mark/tattoo on the body would be sin.
So really it comes down to what your convictions are as far as how you follow scripture.

Also to go with someone what else goes into my POV on this, is that I've been to some healing ministry type things (Henry Malone runs a healing ministry nation-wide), and I've been to a few that my church/synagogue has done in the past. And every single time I've seen or been part of a tattoo/marking healing ministry there has been a demon attatched to the tattoo/marking therefor giving it legal spiritual ground to mess around with that person. Everything done in the physical relm has some sort of effect in the spiritual relm as well. And again based off my experience every tattoo/body mark has some kind of negative spiritual entity attatched to it. Which is another reason why I refused to get a tattoo/body mark.
There are also people with one leg, who are good at reaching other amputees for Christ.
That doesn't mean you should go chop off your leg to witness for Jesus.
If you have a tattoo, then live for Jesus, and hope God can use the tattoo for his glory.
If you don't have a tattoo, I just can't see any good reason to go get one.
Personally I wouldn't call a tattoo sin.
But I would call it imprudent.

Lev 21:5
5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
KJV
The nature of a tatoo is the insertion of ink into a cutting or piercing of the skin.
I think that the verse cited demonstrates that God doesn't like that. If so; then knowingly doing what God has said He doesn't like is either sin or so close to sin that it is hard to see the difference.

yes, that goes along with GOD'S WORD through yahshua that it is what's in a man's heart that defiles him. the man obviously doesn't defile himself on purpose, or even know he is defiled, but he is.
thus a man who disobeys GOD willingly, from his heart comes the defilement/ the disobedience - it's not in the 'act' per se, but in that which initiated the act(inside, the heart, the spirit that is disobedient).

I wouldn't get a tattoo because you're God's temple and really He owns us and is sovereign and if He says no then you honor Him with your obedience and by your obedience you are showing God that you identify with Him.
When you research tattoos there is quite an extensive pagan history behind them and we want to stay as set apart to God as possible. Holy means set apart.
Also there is a health risk. The worldwide rise in hepatitis C rates is due in part to the increase in tattoos and while the needle is usually sterile there is no guarantee the handle of the needle is. At least that is what I learned about them several years back.
