Tattoos and Piercings are the most controversial and chaotic topics within the Church. Many are totally against it and few are okay with it.
Do you want a tattoo or piercing because, the world has them and you want to blend in with the world? Do you want it to seem appealing, attractive or to draw attention to yourself?
So, let's get to it!
Do you want a tattoo or piercing because, the world has them and you want to blend in with the world? Do you want it to seem appealing, attractive or to draw attention to yourself?
So, let's get to it!
Tattoos, tattoos are permanent, unless you have loads of money to get it removed with laser surgery, more than once. It takes about 2 to 3 to 4 times dependent upon how big, colorful or in depth the tattoo is. Lots of people just get up and say let's get a tattoo without thinking twice about, how it will look when they get older, thinking of a meaning behind it or thinking about how if they don't like it later then it's there. Unless they cover it with another tattoo, which will cost even more. So my point is, most people that have tattoos, don't have the right motives behind getting them, it's just because or because it seems everyone has one except for them. Now if you are a Christian and you got a tattoo after you came to Christ, that's very provocative, vulgar, it is questionable because, it doesn't represent your faith, which means you didn't have the right motives behind it. Now if you've had tattoos like that done before you came to the Christ, that's a totally different story. But, if you still think tattoos like that are okay even after Christ, you need to reexamine that, when you accept Jesus as your Savior 'Everything Changes'. He changes your perspective on things, your sight, your viewpoint, your heart, your ways, I could go on and on and the best part is, is that it's all for your good. But if you you think tattoos like that are okay then, that means you're still holding on to some of your old sinful ways. When you come to Christ you make a complete 180, not a 170 or 175, you turn your back on all of your sins and sinful ways. So, before you go to get a tattoo think about this, Did you consult with Christ in prayer and his Word?, If you have to ask for your parents permission and they say no, you have to respect that, until you are old enough to get it on your own. What are your motives for getting the tattoo?, Are you getting one because everyone else has one?, Does that tattoo you're thinking of getting reflecting you faith or is it Christ like? Do you feel hesitant or any conviction about getting the tattoo? God may or may not want you to have a tattoo because, he knows you better than you know yourself. He may want you to have a tattoo because, he has a reason for you getting it. So, really pray about it, ask him if the tattoo that you want is okay or if you have the right motives and reasons for getting it.

Piercings, piercings are pretty debatable and controversial in some Churches and Christian communities, so let's talk about it. Piercings aren't permanent like tattoos and can easily close up without leaving a scar, dependent upon what kind of piercing it is. I'll use my self as an example I have five piercings in total, no tattoos. I have two piercings on each ear lobe and a nose piercing, my first set of ear lobe piercings I got when I was a baby. My second pair I got when I was fifteen and my nose piercing I got December 2012. I really didn't feel any convictions about my nose piercing or anything, I didn't want a nose piercing because everyone else had one. I actually like nose piercings for a really long time and I thought that they were so cute. My mother approved of my nose and second pair of earlobe piercings. She was skeptical at first but, after all of her questions she said okay. Now, if you are under under age or your parents don't want you to have piercings in general, you have to respect that. What kind of piercing are you trying to get? Are you thinking of getting a sexual/provocative piercing? It is very weird and out of the normal for a Christian to get private area piercings, female/male upper half piercings or any kind of piercing of that sort. Especially if you aren't married, like why do you have piercings of that sort? If you have or are thinking about getting that type of piercing than just consult with Christ. I am not him, he knows what is right for you, I am not here to judge you, I'm just a source. Belly button piercings, they can and can not be provocative, so just pray about it, have a talk with Christ and meditate on his word, if you're not so sure or you don't know if that piercing is right for you as you're in the faith.

We must be different from the world, our clothes may say a lot about our style, and the most important: we have also consider our attitude and thoughts.
