    • Nonsense.  So if I got a small cross tattooed on my arm with "Christianus" beneath it, that's a mortal sin?

    • So, are you a Judaizer who believes that God's prohibition of tattoos in Leviticus still applies?

    • Now, I believe that some of the more extreme forms and degrees of tattooing are disfiguring to the point of being mortal sin.

    Are you going to say next that women who pierce their ears to wear earrings are committing mortal sin?

    • I have never met a Trad priest who did not teach that getting tattoed is a mortsl sin.


    We are taught our body is on loan to us from God and is the temple of the Holy Ghost. 

    That is why you cannot get tattoos, go skydiving, etc.

    • I was under the impression that getting a tattoo was a sin. I have had conversations with other laymen about tattoos being sinful, but I have never had a discussion with a priest about it or heard a sermon on it.

    I have never met one who said that a small tattoo was a mortal sin.

    Skydiving is immoral (without good cause) for entirely different reasons.

    Most Coptic Christians, including Eastern Coptic Catholics, wear a small cross tattooed on their arms as a sign that they are Christians.

    It is so much a part of their culture, that almost every Coptic Christian wears that tattoo.

    • Tattoos were always a clear indicator of no class, till quite recently. It still is a sign of no class, but now it is also a big sign to point out the Hollywood brainwashed lemmings. Tomorrow they'll be wearing cow patties on their heads if Hollywood starts that ball rolling.

    • 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.

    • I don't believe tattoos are mortal sins, at least to my understanding.

    The late Lawrence Auster had a discussion about this that I found rather interesting.

    How many priests always refuse giving Holy Communion to a recipient who has a visible tattoo at the Communion rail?
