Question: "What does the Bible say about tattoos / body piercings?"
Answer:The Old Testament law commanded the Israelites, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:28). So, even though believers today are not under the Old Testament law (Romans 10:4;Galatians 3:23-25;Ephesians 2:15), the fact that there was a command against tattoos should raise some questions. The New Testament does not say anything about whether or not a believer should get a tattoo.
In relation to tattoos and body piercings, a good test is to determine whether we can honestly, in good conscience, ask God to bless and use that particular activity for His own good purposes. “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). The New Testament does not command against tattoos or body piercings, but it also does not give us any reason to believe God would have us get tattoos or body piercings.
An important scriptural principle on issues the Bible does not specifically address is if there is room for doubt whether it pleases God, then it is best not to engage in that activity.Romans 14:23reminds us that anything that does not come from faith is sin. We need to remember that our bodies, as well as our souls, have been redeemed and belong to God. Although1 Corinthians 6:19-20does not directly apply to tattoos or body piercings, it does give us a principle: “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.” This great truth should have a real bearing on what we do and where we go with our bodies. If our bodies belong to God, we should make sure we have His clear “permission” before we “mark them up” with tattoos or body piercings.

Leviticus has nothing to do with tattoos. we "print the mark" of the beast and "cut our bodies" for the dead by worshipping angels. What that means is the world and it's varying cultures and people holding in high regard those of honor that have passed away ( budda, mohammad, david, moses etc).
printing marks deals with the whole world being prostituted to "make a dollar!"
We can all see THAT IN ALL THINGS WE HAVE ENOUGH FOR EVERY HUMAN ON THE PLANET TO LIVE THEIR LIVES FREE AND ABUNDANTLY! But the love of money brings the mark and the curse!
We can end crime and terrorism NOW by declaring the world free to all. By loving and helping one another to build not to profit but to sustain the highest value of living possible for all! Houses can now be built virtually completely by machines! We are abundant, but we refuse to hear..
There is a stigma attached to them.
Here's something else to consider:
1 Timothy 2:9-10
9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
