Well I was asked this question alot recently and I always answer that some other religion actually abide by them. But I just want to be more sure then I am now.
So tell me, is it a sin to permently tattoo our bodies in the Roman Catholic religion?

Hello,

I have never heard that at all; just heard it was sinful to mutilate yourself like cutting off your ears or nose etc.

Cheers,

I would think there would be a problem. I am not Catholic but the teachings in Romans say explicitly "no tattoos" I believe Catholic tradition is in following that no tattoos is the case
But then again that is like putting all of your eggs into a basket If an Evangelical would argue to say what about a tattoo that says "No tattos" do you see the point?
So as an evangelical like me would suggest that is culturalalrulele that doesn't really apply today
