Welcome to a Christian Tattoos Site

Christian Tattoo quotes from Religiousforums:

Post 1: Hi, please help me find scripture in the Bible where it talks about tattooing your body. I have just recently got a tattoo, it is a butterfly and i love it. a butterfly to me is like a Christian tattoo. they start out as a caterpillar, (people going in all directions) then go into the cocoon, (where people decide which direction of life they choose) and then the butterfly, (people come out a Christian, beautiful like a butterfly). Christian tattoos are a personal thing it is up to the person. God Bless

Post 2:  My youth leader has several Christian tattoos all of them except for 1 some way related to his faith in Jesus. I have considered getting a Christian tattoo of the cross with angel wings sprouting from it with the crown of thorns hanging off the top as a symbol and a reminder of the sacrifice Christ made for not only myself but all of humanity. There is only 2 things that make me apprehensive and those are the permanency of the tattoo and the pain involved in application/removal. On the issue of whether they are banned in the bible there is a scripture, (I can't remember where) that says thou shalt not defile the temple (the temple being the body) so I think as long as the Christian tattoo isn't blasphemous or openly satanic or something to that effect then it's perfectly fine.
