Tattoo Danger


In Leviticus 19:28 D 
Almighty God commanded that" Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD." 

IMPLICATION is that at the moment you put tattoo on your body, you've declared that the lord is no more your God and the symbol of whosoever you have on your body becomes your god. Tattoo mark on your body is a direct worship of the devil and a denial of the Almighty God in your life. 

Tattoo is a covenant binding the bearer and the demon that the symbols represent. Don’t follow the world and disobey your maker for he remains the only true and wise God to be worshiped.
