Tattoos in the Bible?

God always mentions things in His word that are important to Him. He addresses the making of tattoos. He cautions us in our grieving process and tells us we should not get a tattoo.

“You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you; I am the LORD.” Leviticus 19:28  NKJV

Some would say that we live under grace and do not have to follow the laws in the Old Testament. Jesus did not come to make the law useless, but He fulfilled the law, which was impossible by any human.

“Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.” Romans 3:31  NKJV

We are never justified by following the law (teachings) but can only be justified by the shedding of the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ, because He was the perfect sacrifice for our sins, once and for all.
