I'm pretty sure that I recently heard Fr. Ripperger mention this in one of his audio sermons.  (As yes, being a grave sin.)  Same with tongue piercings -- and such individuals should not be given HC until the disgusting ring is removed.

I actually have a serious question. I do understand now that tattoos are a mortal sin, but I was wondering if adding to one that’s already there a mortal sin? More to take away from the reason I got it.
Would you entertain the idea of having your tattoo removed?

This would be a good example to your children: to undo the wrong.

I did hear a sermon about this. 

Fr. Crane gave one, just at the time I was considering getting a small one...(back in my younger, crazier days).  It IS a mortal sin.  And the reasoning is: the body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.  Any tattoos would be a desecration of it.  Thus, it's a mortal sin.  I can't remember if he applied that same precept to multiple body piercings or not, and how women getting their ears pierced would pertain to it, but I DO remember that part quite clearly!

A Mortal sin is mortal when only the three conditions have been met.

  • Mortal sin is a sin of grave matter
  • Mortal sin is committed with full knowledge of the sinner
  • Mortal sin is committed with deliberate consent of the sinner

In order for a sin to be mortal, it must meet three conditions:

This means that mortal sins cannot be done "accidentally." A person who commits a mortal sin is one who knows that their sin is wrong, but still deliberately commits the sin anyway. This means that mortal sins are "premeditated" by the sinner and thus are truly a rejection of God’s law and love.

Ladislaus, how you can have spent time in an SSPX seminary and not know this is perplexing, because they teach this, as several others here have attested to.
