Popular Nigerian Gospel artiste, Mike Abdul, has weighed in on the controversy surrounding Christians who get tattoos on their bodies. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he believes that tattoos do not dishonour the body of a Christian, and what matters is what the mark points to, not the mark itself.
Mike added that ink without conviction is decoration, and our Creator mainly reads hearts, not skin.
His words, “Tattoos +
Tattoos were used for identity, memory, status, covenant, and storytelling across ancient cultures, nothing more.
Tattoos don’t dishonour the body.
What dishonors a temple is not writing on the walls, what matters is what the mark points to, not the mark itself.
God reads hearts, not skin.
Ink without conviction is decoration.
Ink with conviction is remembrance.
If a tattoo leads you closer to gratitude, identity, or reverence, it has served a good purpose for you.
Faith is not proven by unmarked skin, but by transformed lives.”
WOW.
