Is tattoo really accepted in the Christian faith?

Tattoo as we all know involves drawing on the body, with ink, which tears up the flesh and makes it permanent. And as the word tattoo as been well known in the world today to be used by those in the entertainment industry and most people who are not actually following the way of the lord.

People have different reasons why they have tattoos, from the reasons ranging from , sad memories, happy memories, motivational memories as the list goes on. People have ttatto because they want to be able to have something to remind them who they are, or help them remember a lost family member or a quote about someone or something. But more to this, people have tattoos to for their own personal reasons.

Now as regards to Christianity, is a true Christian allowed to have tattoos and even if yes, what kind of tattoo? Most people get this tattoo before they are drawn to salvation, so when they become new convert, it's kind of impossible to remove it back, or most times when it's possible, it comes with a painful process, and expensive one too. So most times people who are now drawn to Christ leave the tattoo right there, but their heart is changed and that's what God is really interested about.

God does not care about how your past has been and how rough it all looked, and things you've done, but once you're for him, you're a new being under his creation. And everything is forgiving and your heart is directed towards his service.

CAN TATTOO BE USED FOR EVANGELISM?

To the best of my knowledge and understanding, I would say YES. At the beginning of this write up, I talked about the kind of people who mainly gets tattoo in the world today, and let's take for example, a gang member who has not found Christ and is still with the world in it dealings, and you as a Christian, with a little tattoo of maybe a cross or a Bible quote with verse. And most of these people, you can't really walk up to them and start a conversation about Christ just like that, it might result in a huge misunderstanding.

But imagine you walk into a bar, or you're sitting outside and a gang member saw your tattoo and he likes it and wanted to really know the meaning of your tattoo as a it's really looks good, but as a Christian that you are and the tattoo been all for the purpose of reminding yourself about how good God has been to you, you start a conversation with this gang member, telling him the meaning of the tattoo and expanding his knowledge towards the important of knowing Christ and been with him.

Now this tattoo on you as a Christian has not only bring someone to you, or you to the person, but also open a door of evangelism between you and someone you could not easily walk up to and start preaching.

Now this is a a positive move in the right direction towards winning souls for Christ.

Finally, I'll like to conclude that, the main aim and objective of the Christian faith is winning souls for Christ and making people follow the right direction reagrdless of their past. Cause anyone who finds Christ , is a new born in him and will meet him on the last day .

Have a great and wonderful day.
