QUESTION:

11/20/2009: what is the church's position regarding tattooing oneself

ANSWER:

It seems self-evident that none of the holy fathers, let alone the holy apostles, would approve of or bless any form of tattooing. It is a fundamental truth of Christianity that our body is God's temple, and that permanent markings such as tattoos are no wise. One should also consider the effect (stumbling stone) on the little ones in the Church.
