Tattoos

What does the Bible have to say about wearing tattoos?

Answer: 

Leviticus 19:28 forbade the Israelites from using disfiguring tattoos as the heathen did.  There is no law about this in the New Testament, so we have no law or rule about it.  Christians should consider the meaning and message that tattoos in general or a specific tattoo may convey.
