Redeeming Ink: The Case for Tattoos in the Christian Faith

Tattoos have long been a controversial topic among Christians, often seen as a violation of biblical commands.<br />
<br />
In this video, I dive into what Scripture really says about tattoos, focusing on Leviticus 19:28 and its cultural context. We'll explore how tattooing, along with other practices like shaving heads and cutting the body, were part of pagan mourning rituals forbidden for the Israelites who were to be distinct from the surrounding nations.<br />
<br />
Today, however, tattoos are used to express identity, convey meaning, and to beautify—acts that can honor God and reflect faithful stewardship of our bodies. Join me as I unpack why tattoos are indeed good and not sinful.<br />
