The debate as to whether Christians are allowed to get tattoos on their bodies has not yet been settled. Although the Holy Bible does not have a specific prohibition on tattoos, 1 Corinthians 6:19 clearly states: "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own."

Here's another reason not to get a tattoo: A former self-confessed witch said getting this form of body modification is very similar to undergoing a Satanic ritual.

On her blog entitled "The Other Side of Darkness," the ex-witch named Beth revealed that the act of getting a tattoo has obvious similarities with occult blood rituals, where a person enters into a covenant with the devil.

"A blood ritual is a Satanic ritual that is done as a covenant or pact. There are at least two people involved in this type of ritual. The person who is shedding their own blood, and the person who is invoking a demon and its power," the former witch said on her blog post, as quoted by Charisma News.

Beth also said that the wounds opened during the Satanic ritual similar to getting a tattoo become the devil's entry point towards a person's body.

"The person who is shedding their blood is the recipient in this transaction. They are giving their blood (life) in order to receive some sort of benefit, such as life, prosperity, fame, fortune or power. The cuts are now an open doorway for the entrance of evil spirits (demons) (that) you have granted permission," the ex-witch, who herself has several tattoos, said.

"By agreeing to and participating in the shedding of your blood, you have (given) the devil a right to you. Often people who participate in a blood ritual also give over rights to future generations," she added.
