Yesterday I saw a sexy cool tatoo on my friend Charles neck on the back side. It was a dragon that looked so fierce and it was tattooed such that was as if coming out from his hairs… the dragons tails were partially in side the hairs and it was tooted such that it seems as if the dragon is about to blow its fire balls on me.
At my first glance i felt it too scary but then i found it to be a very eye catching tatoo that left in me a feel that Charles is a tough hard guy.
From this moment on I have been thinking about this and now I feel that I should too do this may be on my biceps in such a way that a snake is tattooed, so that when i wear a half sleeve shirt of t-shirt it will be popping out off my biceps.
But wait a minute, morning I sat for my daily morning prayer and I prayed to god to bless my day, but all this while I was praying I was also thinking about my day that in the afternoon I will go to the tatoo shop and get this done. I said Amen and open my bible to read the daily verse, but look at this what i got…..
Leviticus 19:28, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the Lord.”
Man how could this be… The Bible became a rema for me… How could God thing at the initial days of creation that today my generation will be thinking of tatoo… or is that even that time tatoo was a trend…. Na i don’t think so…. if tatoo was a trend then , then by now it would have got discarded.
I realized what God wanted me to know. How much more do I expect the Bible to be clear?
Well but today’s generation such as Charles would say that Leviticus was meant for those who were involved in pagan rites and rituals, not for today else we should not even cut out hairs or beards,
But let me share this to you, with what motives are we trying to have our bodies tattooed, why tatoo a dragon, a serpent or a vulgar image? what is our intention behind this, so that people think we are studs…. or is it that you want people to think about and worship you or keep dreaming about you?
God always wanted His people to be away from those things that could separate them from God. I don’t mean here that tatoo will take you away from God, but i personally feel that getting tattooed is just one small tiny step towards moving away from God. You are keeping a door open so that SIN can come in you. Now this sin could be either you doing or other looking at you or your tatoo prompt you to do. sorry guys i am being rude here but i know what i am saying and even you will agree to this fact.
Lets try asking some questions: By getting a tatoo…
Am I seeking to glorify God or is it that i am trying to draw attention of others to myself?
Will my tattoo be a source of pain or non consensus for my loved ones?
Will getting a tattoo cause me to disobey my parents?
Will my tattoo cause someone who is weak in the faith to stumble?
Will I be luring someone into the world of lust by getting myself tattooed?
Well I asked this questions to myself and what i found was my parents will not like my idea of getting tattooed, secondly my tatoo no way will glorify God, in fact with a serpent or dragon with fire and tongue out i am giving out a wrong message. Thirdly i feel my tatoo could surely lead me into an uninvited temptation and I know I am not at all capable to handle temptations.
Well so finally i have decided not to tatoo my body…. Let me keep it as a clean holy temple of God.
Blessings
