Frequently Asked Questions

Tattoos fall under dress and grooming, a highly personal area that nonetheless speaks volumes about a person as an individual and as a Christian. The Church of the Great God does not police members in this area, but it expects modest dress and grooming. Tattoos, like other ornaments of the counter-culture, may show rebelliousness, though much depends on a person's attitude. The Bible speaks plainly on the subject in Leviticus 19:28. As a Christian grows in the grace and knowledge of God and becomes more humble, modest, and holy, involvement with such questionable practices should diminish and disappear.
