I agree that Christians, of all people should never get tatoos. I also do not believe they should be getting their navals, noses, lips, tongues and cheeks pierced! Not only is it unsanitary, it is highly dangerous and potentially infectious! I have a niece who claims she is a Christian and she has her nose pierced. It looks disgusting! Remember what Hitler did to MARK all the Jews?  He tatooed NUMBERS on their arms! I believe all of this is being brought about by the age of the evil one. WHY?  Because the biggest indicator of lawlessness and rebellion against GOD at the end of the age will be the Mark of the Beast. So - right now, the beast is doing all that he can do to mimic the REAL thing before it arrives - so bring on the tatoos and piercings! Because they will enable people to get USED to having their bodies MARKED, jabbed and pierced before the real mark comes along and by that time - ho-hum, JUST ANOTHER tatoo, just another piercing - right?
Yeah RIGHT!
 
Remember that in the Bible piercings and cuttings of the body were a sign of demonic possession! Recall that when Jesus delivered a person from possession, before He did so, they were CUTTING themselves (and running around naked!)! Once they were in their RIGHT MIND, they were clothed, calm and not mutiliating themselves!
 
Self-flagellation, self-mutiliation - these are all signs of demonic possession folks!
