@Vlad Savchuk I have a question for you brother, my first two tattoos I got back in 2002 and they were tribal style tattoos (both in places that can be covered by a tshirt). Now through the years I got many tattoos and from 2014 to 2020 I didn't get any tattoos, in 2020 I got my first tattoo in the Hebrew, it is Ecclesiastes 3:1, I thought this was my last tattoo, but then I was given this cross that is in my thumb nail picture, this cross I got tattooed on my right inner forearm, and then I got my last final tattoo on my left inner forearm which is goes hand in hand with the tattoo on my right forearm. My last tattoo is the Hebrew words emunah vachesed (אמונה וחסד) which is translated into English faith and mercy. With my final two tattoos I went against a tattoo rule I had upon myself my whole life since getting my first tattoo in 2002, no tattoos in a place I can't cover with tshirt or pants. With these two finally tattoos I was compelled to get them as a tool to share my faith in Jesus Christ. After I got my final tattoo I realized something, my first two tattoos I got were in a time of my life I was lost and far from God and Jesus Christ and they had no meaning other than looks and getting tattoos, and now 20 years later my final two tattoos were for a purpose and reason, that anyone who I extend my hand out to knows where I stand and the Rock I stand on. I was just curious about your thoughts about my testimony and my journey through getting tattoos through the years. Thank you and God bless.

[@__Elijah]

How about an eyebrow tattoo that lasts only two years? If I get it twice, it lasts for two years. 15 days ago I already got it once and the second reservation date is approaching soon! I already paid all for it but I'm not gonna do it if it's not good spiritually. It's very important to me because I was delivered from demons a month ago that came through abuse. so I don't want to get any demons anymore. Please let me know.

[@johannesstephanusroos4969]

Don't you think you're misinterpreting, or at least misapplying Leviticus? I believe that the Word says we can't mark ourselves for the dead, so some tattoos are connected to pagan ritual and a bad idea. My tattoos all glorify God so I don't know why you seem to have an issue with them

My grandma had a great definition for Tattoo. It is a permanent reminder of temporary rebelliousness.

[@sandrahesketh9135]

🤣Ain't that the truth! I chuckled when I read this, but so true. I, personally, have just never liked tattoos. It can be a picture of the most beautiful flower but it doesn't belong permanently inked on your body. That's just my opinion.

I'm covered in tattoos, i got addicted to the feeling and its kinda form of selfharm. I was living the wrong lifestyle, doing drugs ect. I got sober and i deeply regret all my tattoos. Unfortunately, i can't do anything but I can ask for forgiveness. Alot of people judge me and it's hard, i'm really a nice person.

[@gingerproject888network6]

That's how the enemy does it to harm us or cause death. The same tactic the enemy uses; lie, steal & destroy. The lie is it's good, fun but in reality the person rips bad effects later on. The further we go with doing evil is leads to death. The accuser will remind us "Look what you did in the past" put us to ashame. They are always after our soul. Stay strong, be courageous, speak to God all your feelings and situation that He will make a way for you to move forward. Amen?

They can be covered up by an artist that understand color. It's cheaper

[@PrinceAndSarahO]

My husband and I were discussing this topic, and I will be getting mine removed. He asked me if I was angry before getting all mine, and it really made me think. (I've had tattoos since I was 18.) I came across this video after our discussion. The part about Leviticus 19 and how they cut themselves because of grieving really helped me to reflect on my past, my thoughts when getting the tattoos, and what was happening in my life each time I got every tattoo. (I have 4 of them.) This video confirmed my decision to remove them. Thank you!

[@tessafox6397]

This is a rather long story, but I will try to make it short as possible. When I was about 16 a boy that was very artistic, gave me a scroll like piece of paper. I opened it up and it was a picture of head and shoulders of someone. He told me that it was the king of luck. I was unsaved the time. I put this into my box of treasures and left it there and forgot all about it. About a year and a half later, during which time I came to Christ, I had a terrible dream. My two sisters, who shared a room with me, had two demons over them while they lay in bed asleep, laughing and laughing at me. I woke up the sun was shining through the window, and my parents were making coffee and sitting down the dining room table. But as I lay there, with my back to my sisters, I knew in my heart that those two demons were there, and I slowly turned over and cried out to my mother. My mom was Catholic at the time and ran in with Holy Water and did her thing. Later, days or weeks I can’t remember I was rummaging through that box and guess what I found. When I opened the scroll up, there was the king of luck, and what was on that paper looked exactly like what was over my sisters beds. So I believe that the work of people that turn the side can bring demons into your life. Spirits can come with an object. I burned it. Now we’re going to fast forward to a day when my 30 year old daughter sat on the stairs in front of me and said, “ Mom I think I’d like to get a tattoo. I felt in my heart that that was not some thing she was supposed to do And I quietly prayed Lord. What do I tell her? How do I reply? The Holy Spirit gave us me wisdom, and I told her about the picture. I’ll ask you the same question I asked her… “What if the person that is putting the tattoo on is of the wrong spirit? What if the tattoo binds a demon to you? You can’t just go out and burn it off your calf. What then?” The Bible tells us all things are permissible, but not all things are profitable. It also tells us that when sin is conceived, it brings death. Everything is rooted in pride. So many times I have quoted Solomon: I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

[@tessafox6397]

Here is another thought… I was watching Benny Hinn is ago maybe like 1991 and he was talking about a time when he was trying to cast a demon out of a girl that was possessed. Her mother had brought her to him and begged him to pray for her. He tried and tried, and it wouldn’t leave . So he pulled aside and prayed and said Lord, why can’t we cast this demon out.? The Lord said, get the ring off her finger. As soon as they remove the ring, the spirit left. If you believe that God is telling you to get rid of something get rid of it. You do not want to cohabitate with the enemy.

[@hollywrightTX]

I lead a deliverance ministry in Texas and there are so many cases where the open door is the person's tattoo(s) and the demon wouldn't come out until the tattoos were renounced, anointed, and that part of their body was rededicated to the Lord. It's became so common that now anyone who comes in for deliverance, we start off by anointing the tattoo, renouncing, etc. that way the tattoo is not a hindrance (legal right) for the demon to not come out. I have a lot of experience in casting out demons, and because of my experience, I'm convinced tattoos are open doors for spirits to enter in.

If I had lived by the Spirit and walked with Him I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have got the tattoo. I was a young believer but now I've learnt that the desire of getting a tattoo is the same desires we get when it comes to drinking, smoking,gossip or sex before marriage. They are all desires of the flesh not of the Holy Spirit.

I would like to thank you for your video. I want to mention that until recently I was working as an apprentice in a tattoo shop. As a Christian it was something that I questioned from the beginning. I asked God if that was wrong in his eyes and I didn't feel like it was. Over time I realized that he let me know that it was not something he approved: my mentor hired a person who is involved in an African religion of Santeria. I had told my mentor about it ,and her response was that she was not going to judge someone based on their religion. The problem is that it is not a religion in my opinion but a cult of the devil himself. I believe that God opened my eyes and let me know that this was not my path. Even tho I really enjoy working there I feel that God had send me a signal and I can’t continue doing something that it’s going to be against his will .

Thank you for speaking out on this subject! I heard some missionaries who went to the bush in Africa to share the Gospel. Their African converts were upset when they saw that many American Christians have no problem getting tattoos. They said that in their religion they believe that tattoos are portals for spirits to enter your body and they wanted to get rid of their tattoos for that reason when they came to Christ! They wondered how could American Christians do such a thing when it was so evil! I might note also that in my family's case, tattoos are a 100% symbol of rebellion, for all 5 of my daughters got tattoos shortly after they turned 18 and left home, even though they had the above knowledge!

As a Christian with tattoos I found this video so enlightening. I personally struggled with self harm for years starting from the age of 14. I had so many scars on my arms.

I have been getting tattooed since I was 15 years old .. 100% for attention and rebelling .. I loved the pain so much that I’d just go and get a tattoo purely to feel the pain and rush of adrenaline .. by the age of 23 I had over 35 tattoos, almost all are visible . Face, hands, arms, chest, throat, neck etc . Then I became a believer and I still kept getting tattooed , one day I was sent a reoccurring thought by God saying, “you don’t need anymore tattoos, you can reach people who look like you without having any more” I was really annoyed about it tbh because I had a goal to be covered from head to toe in tattoos .. I still went on and got my eyelids tattooed and then my last tattoo was about 6 months ago, it was on my hand .. my favorite thing about getting tattooed was the pride I’d feel .. because my tattoo artist would tell me I was a “bada**” cuz I wouldn’t flinch a muscle and barely make a sound no matter where she was tattooing me .. I loved that I was soooo cool to other people because of that .. and that got me deeper into sin .. the day I got my last tattoo by her on my hand, my tattoo hurt really really bad for the first time .. and I haven’t gotten anymore after that and vowed to God that I’d stop forever .. now that I’m going through deliverance, my Minister has shown me that one of my tattoos holds a demon … it’s a skeleton peeking out of my hand that I got on Friday the 13th … I have always been an advocate for tattoos and I still do think they’re are some that are absolutely gorgeous.. but my story shows you that Satan has his hands behind that tattoo gun .. I’m 25 now and have many tattoos that I wish I could just get rid of, but I know God is going to use me as a testimony to someone who deals with the same things and God can use me as a vessel for His Word towards people who look like me ❤️

Wow thanks for sharing. I don't have one because I'm scared and can not imagine myself when I'm 50 or older with a tattoo and I struggle to understand why tattooes are a sin and I still think some tattoos look demonic and some are really really cool. But I'm not thinking of getting and not encouraging anyone to but I don't think much about tattooes and peiple with tattooes as a taboo to me especially this generation it's a cool think and with piercings. I don't have them either, only ones in both my ears that my parents did to me when I was a baby, because I'm scared of pain that's why and I guess I should thank God for the fear csuse I find them cool and I think that's not good especially know that God is against it. I always have an argument of what about the scares in our bodies we don't choose and are sometimes ugly atleast tattooes can be pretty and I think that's a very bad thinking. God help my mind and renew how I think and reason csuse I might make someone sin. Again thanks for sharing and giving me a different side about tattoos. God bless you and use you. Thank you Lord.

Tattoos are not a sin. However, getting tattoos of the dead, is. Even our Lord Yeshua (Jesus) The Christ and The Living God Almighty has writing on His thigh "Lord of Lords, King of Kings"

[@83KJack]

The bible is very clear and black and white about the definition of sin which is violation of Torrah (the first 5 books of the bible, God's law which is still applicable to our lives today which Paul also observed and did not discount). Leviticus (where much of the law is found) says not to get tattoos of the dead. I have researched this topic over and over to make SURE not to sin by doing this.

Very balanced perspective. Understanding why people want to get tattoos but also highlighted the many reasons why one shouldn’t. I got really small tattoos in my hand and behind my ear when I was younger. & I regret it so muchhh! One because it was for the trend & peer pressure & also because I was once denied a really good job opportunity because of them. I’ve been in the process of removing them since last year and I’ve never felt greater pain & I’m so grateful that I always wanted to get small ones. 2 of them are matching tattoos with siblings. Back then I didn’t think really much of it but now I feel like it was some sort of pact & as I started to cleanse my energy and get closer to God I just felt like they’ve been hindering me. They are like a portal that connects our spirits & I dont like it since they are not ones to seek Christ. Whenever someone asks I always say don’t get them & I try to talk them out by telling them how much it hurts & cost to remove them.

[@wokeuparebeltv]

People don't read Scriputre to understand it. Most people regurgitate what they've learned throughout their lives, so they allow tradition to blind them. What I mean is, I know almost everyone believes tattoos are sinful. It All depends what you are putting on your body, but the Bible does not say anything about tattoos. The problem also lies within Bible translations. Scripture says that no words should be changed, but that doesn't seem to apply to the actual Bible, where there are too many translations that exist to fit the agenda or the traditions of whoever translated them. The KJV does not use the word tattoo in Leviticus 19.28 which is the famous verse people like to twist around to their benefit to condemn tattoos. But are you actually reading what it says? Leviticus 19.28, “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD." Are you able to remove the tradition from your eyes for a second? The comma in the verse is very important, because it signals that it is related to the first part of the sentence. It says "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead," for what?...FOR THE DEAD. And then it has a comma, not a period. Grammar and punctuation are so important when reading the Bible, otherwise, we come up with our own conclusions. It says "nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD." The mistake that religious people make is that they believe these are 2 separate thoughts, but it's related to the same command from God. Don't cut yourselves to mourn the dead. Example, one of your parents passes away and you get a tattoo in their honour after they passed. That's the sin that God is talking about. Another example, people get 2pac tattoos or Nipsey Hussle tattoos or a Whitney Houston tattoo. That's a sin because they are dead and you should not ink your body for the dead. Conclusion: God did not forbid tattoos. He simply said, it is forbidden to cut yourselves or mark yourselves to honour THE DEAD. We need to use discernment to stop demonizing people for getting tattoos. As long as it's not to honour the dead, you're ok. Also, it also helps to not put a tattoo on your body of something dark that you'll need deliverance from. But the Bible clear as day does not forbid tattoos. We can't simply umbrella things. It is important to always reference the KJV of the Bible so that we don't jump to conclusions. Leviticus 19.28, “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD." If a period separated the 2 thoughts, then I'd agree with everyone who says tattoos are satanic. But there is a comma not a period. Stay blessed.

There was this one guy that had demonic looking tattoos on his body and was being tormented by demons constantly and he went to the Lord in prayer asking him to be shown why he was being attacked and the Lord let it be known to him that he needed to pray over the tattoos to block them. Then there was this other guy that was being attacked also. So much so that he was like ok imma put psalms 91 tattoo on my body and once he did the attacks stopped. I guess this just goes to show that what you mark on your body/ temple shows who owns it in a way. Gives them access to ur life. My husband and I was fighting for a week off and on and didn't know why and he ended up watching both those guys testimonies about there tattoos and so he was like hmmmm...

I’m a youth pastor at my church and this really made me think. So much insight in this video. The enemy wants to make light of anything.

I’ve decided to not continue with it because while it may look cool, I have the next generation looking up to me. I have to think about them and what type of example am I wanting to set for them. Maybe it isn’t that big of a deal. Maybe I’ll be able to handle my mistakes but they won’t. Thank you Pastor Vlad, for your continual obedience.

​@Amy Nowhere. But having a youth pastor is not a bad thing. Why would it be? You are just a leader of the youth. In the desert Moses had a lot of people to attend to and Jethro gave him some advice, set leaders over 1000s, 100s, over 50 and over 10. Ex. 18. The point was to build a team to help him minister to the people. The new testament sets deacons over the church. My point is, I don't see no harm over setting someone over the youth as a leader. You can call him youth pastor or you can just call him a small group leader. The title is actually irrelevant. What is worth more, is if they are a person of godly character, worthy of imitating.

Now that is very interesting. Recently a Christian friend of mine told ne it's bloodletting. I don't know too much about it. Why did you hate God? Do you think most satanists hate God? How did you get to the place of becoming a Christian? How amazing is that? What an amazing transformation..You know that the HEART is what God sees and he doesn't condemn any person who puts their faith in Jesus.

Thank you for speaking on this pastor Vlad. I know it may not be the popular view, even among fellow pastors, but we all benefit greatly by hearing God's word into context. Thank you!

[@jenniferheukelom901]

Very wise and detailed analysis. Thank you. I so appreciate your godly teachings.

[@realtalk5096]

Hi pastor Vlad Savchuk I thank for teaching the word of God all together I think the Holy Spirit for using u to explain about tattoos, showing it in the word of God too so we can study for ourselves. Thank u

[@Joshuatheservant4jesus]

God gave me a dream about me going to a tatoo parlor and getting a tattoo. When I looked to see who the artist was it happened to be a well known pastor. After he tattooed me he told me he's going to preach a message right after. I saw how vile it really is and how Christians should have nothing to do with this. Since then I have not gotten another tatoo. ❤ praise God.

[@ItsjustMemyGodandI]

I totally agree with this message. It was the final confirmation I needed to not mark my body with any tattoo. I remember someone close to me, telling me that I shouldn't get a tattoo and that person had tattoos. And I don't know the reason why they said not to. But it flashed back in my mind watching this video, of how God uses any and all people to tell us things. And how we should head his voice and message from others. As well as before you (Vlad) said he doesn't need a tattoo to symbolize he follows Christ. A thought came to me saying "I do not need a tattoo to symbolize I follow or love Christ, I want to symbolize my love of God through my heart." Our bodies are precious. As I remember hearing another time, "If you wouldn't damage, break, or write on a diamond then you shouldn't break, damage or write on your body". We should value ourselves just as God loves and sees value in us. 💗🙏🏽

People don't read Scriputre to understand it. Most people regurgitate what they've learned throughout their lives, so they allow tradition to blind them. What I mean is, I know almost everyone believes tattoos are sinful. It All depends what you are putting on your body, but the Bible does not say anything about tattoos. The problem also lies within Bible translations. Scripture says that no words should be changed, but that doesn't seem to apply to the actual Bible, where there are too many translations that exist to fit the agenda or the traditions of whoever translated them. The KJV does not use the word tattoo in Leviticus 19.28 which is the famous verse people like to twist around to their benefit to condemn tattoos. But are you actually reading what it says? Leviticus 19.28, “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD." Are you able to remove the tradition from your eyes for a second? The comma in the verse is very important, because it signals that it is related to the first part of the sentence. It says "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead," for what?...FOR THE DEAD. And then it has a comma, not a period. Grammar and punctuation are so important when reading the Bible, otherwise, we come up with our own conclusions. It says "nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD." The mistake that religious people make is that they believe these are 2 separate thoughts, but it's related to the same command from God. Don't cut yourselves to mourn the dead. Example, one of your parents passes away and you get a tattoo in their honour after they passed. That's the sin that God is talking about. Another example, people get 2pac tattoos or Nipsey Hussle tattoos or a Whitney Houston tattoo. That's a sin because they are dead and you should not ink your body for the dead. Conclusion: God did not forbid tattoos. He simply said, it is forbidden to cut yourselves or mark yourselves to honour THE DEAD. We need to use discernment to stop demonizing people for getting tattoos. As long as it's not to honour the dead, you're ok. Also, it also helps to not put a tattoo on your body of something dark that you'll need deliverance from. But the Bible clear as day does not forbid tattoos. We can't simply umbrella things. It is important to always reference the KJV of the Bible so that we don't jump to conclusions. Leviticus 19.28, “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD." If a period separated the 2 thoughts, then I'd agree with everyone who says tattoos are satanic. But there is a comma not a period. Stay blessed.

[@ItsjustMemyGodandI]

@@wokeuparebeltv I apologize if my comment may have come off as judgemental or condemning. I tried to convey my agreeance with the message and shared my convictions. I don't in any way condemn anyone for anything because I don't have that right to. I do have the right to share my convictions. I love my brothers and sisters who have tattoos. I honestly believe they are so cool because I love art! Though for me, the art I want to display on my body is the art of God's love and the Holy Spirit's presence. To serve him and others as much as I can with my body. To do everything that I do unto the Lord. Though at times I fail, that is my goal! So I ask myself, does this action or decision glorify the Father or me? Or why am I doing this, and do I have God's permission/blessing? What do I wish to gain? I genuinely believe we should evaluate the reason behind our actions. With that said, that is all I wish to say. I appreciate your comment, it was very enlightening, and I'm happy that you took the time out of your day and used the Bible to back up your points. You stay blessed as well!

[@arrivatardiallafestad5454]

Thanks for finding those scriptures man. Appreciate it. I happen to think the same as you and what the scriptures say.

[@dimihutch5210]

Thank you Pastor Vlad before Jesus saved me I thought about getting a small tattoo that could be covered by clothing. But I never got a tattoo as a believer , I was asking for advice, and was pointed to the Bible verse in the old testament that you explained to us. No tattoo for me - ever God bless you and Lana !

[@TonyaA7]

Not just that ,but its a form of idolatry... One way to judge a thing too is to look at how popular it is with the world. Its definitely a worldly thing and even more wide spread today .. Its something the flesh craves and draws attention to the flesh.. Its also putting graffiti on the temple of God...

[@Elijah-Bravo]

I have ideas for some tattoos, Bible verses and things that glorify God, do you think this would be wrong?

Great video! I don’t have any tattoos. I have wanted to get them but always felt something wrong about doing it so I never did. I’m so glad I never did now especially after seeing your video and the biblical reasons why. Thank you for your time making these videos.

[@claudiakoprinock1501]

I remember when I was a teenager minister. We had a Friday night youth night. I remember it burned in me to teach on tattoos. I lived in Hawaii and saw the deep cuttings of the Samoans and new Zealand ers. I told my teens about all that. I only had that verse about our bodies are of the Holy Spirit and to honor our bodes. It got thru to a lot of them. Keep telling the truth and rebellion. My teens up and we will see results.

[@mandalaydee]

Pastor Vlad, Shalom, love your videos. God Bless you. I agree with you 100% about the topic. I do not have any tatoos myself , but I do tell people not to get them. Now, if you do have them already, and want to come to the Lord, please do so. He will receive you with open arms.

[@naominhlane5790]

Thank you so much for this, I have been in search of your name and channel until recent. I am happy that am graced enough to listen to your teachings. They're so spirit filled. And this tattoo topic have just covered the questions I had about tattoos, of course I never supported them but I was looking for a deeper wisdom and understanding thank you

[@KimEsbenshade]

Thank you for what you shared. Discernment is key. Jesus did say to try the spirit to see what spirit a thing is from. Thank you again.

Well done. Thank you for sharing a Spirit filled, balanced perspective. I absolutely agree with your cautions to believers not to get inked.

[@purplehearts3287]

I was just thinking about this the other day. I'd do anything to go back and never have gotten them. I deeply regret getting my tattoos. It was a long time ago when I didn't have Jesus in my heart. They are in places that can't be seen, but still, I have to see them. It makes me very sad. I agree with you Vlad. 😔💔💔💔

[@lindyray7067]

Thankyou Vlad , that was a very sound message , I don't like tattoos and also believed some were demonic . It is sad to see some people cover so much of themselves with ink , it can send a "keep away from me " vibe ,often from rejection and wanting to look tough . You covered the topic with grace and truth .
