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.

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

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.
