My opinion about tattoos may differ from yours, but that’s what makes us unique individuals. Everyone has their own beliefs and preferences when it comes to body art. If you have a tattoo and genuinely love it, then embrace it. But keep in mind that tattoos are not permanent if you decide otherwise in the future. I went through an experience with tattoos during my teenage years. At 16, while I was using drugs and drinking a lot, I impulsively inked myself multiple times without much thought or consideration for the long-term consequences. As time passed, I realized my mistakes and sought professional help to cover them properly.

I Got All My Home Made Tattoos When I Was About 16 ~ I Got Them Covered Professionally When I Was About 19 ~ Then My Boss Offered To Pay To Remove Them When I Was In My Early 40’s Which Took A Few Years. If I Knew Now What Did Not Know Then, I Would Never Have Gotten One Tattoo In The First Place! Everyone Seems To Have Their Opinion ~ Are Tattoos Good?

However, fate had something unexpected in store for me – my boss generously offered to pay the bill for removing those tattoos completely. Each operation cost $400, and I had 13 operations. He also paid for the medication, bandages, and time off of work. He was a very generous Christian man God put in my life. I couldn’t afford such a costly procedure then, but thanks to my boss’s kindness and wealth, I could rid myself of the burden these unwanted markings had become. It was truly a blessing that filled me with immense gratitude. ~ Bill Greguska

1 Corinthians 6:19  Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.

Does The Bible Say Anything About Tattoos? Are Tattoos Good?


 

Everyone Has Their Own Story, We All Have Been Given Free Will By God!

However, while sharing this story of personal triumph over regrettable choices regarding tattoos, one question still lingers in my mind: “Does having a tattoo glorify God?” Ultimately, individuals must ponder this and conclude based on their faith and relationship with God. On one hand, our Creator has granted us free will – the freedom to choose according to our desires and inclinations. Yet, as Christians following Jesus Christ faithfully, we should strive to align our actions with God. It says in Leviticus 19:28 “‘Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord. (this is from the Old Testament, yet one needs to understand what God’s word means). I personally rather play it on the safe side, you need to decide for yourself what God is telling you what to do or not to do after praying about it. ~ Bill Greguska

Your Opinion About Tattoos?

There is a debate about the value of having tattoos. Some people like them, and other people do not. I hesitated when I first thought of adding the topic of tattoos to this website. My reason for that is that it is such a polarizing issue. Having tattoos does not mean you are not a Christian or not a good person. Not having tattoos does not mean you are not a Christian or a good person.

A Person’s Heart Makes Them A Christian When They Choose To Follow Jesus Christ!

The purpose of this website is to encourage and inform you of things that will help you. I will share some thoughts for you to decide for yourself. (I believe tattoos are a questionable choice overall). This is primarily for young people who get them without thinking or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, yet I am not the one to judge. God gives us the freedom to do what we want. It boils down to what our motives are.

Free Will?

As I said, God gives us free will to do what we want, but we can not choose the consequences of our freedoms. When I got my tattoos, I lived in a rebellious manner I wanted to wear tattoos to shout out my rebellion. Having had many tattoos on both arms: my one hand, big toes, chest, and leg. There have been some very artistic and meaningful tattoos over the years that I have seen. They are no longer for me and what I stand for in my life today. That is just my opinion. You need to ask God what He wants you to do or not to do since He has given us all free will, yet in our free will, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions and words.
