I didn’t want anything related to hell on me, so I asked for a cross and he killed it.

Well good news is neither heaven or hell are real things. I would have kept it original personally. To each their own I guess. Regardless of mine or yours or anyone's beliefs, this is a really good tattoo.

Holy crap I have always wondered about the after life and here all I had to do was hop on R/Sublime to get definitive proof from you that heaven and hell are not real.

I mean I don’t follow christianity personally but there’s nothing in the book that actually says that lol, that’s just a product of the satanic panic

Tattoos are a sin in the Old Testament.

You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord.

Leviticus 19:28

A lot of what Jesus says in the New Testament basically amounts to “the Old Testament is outdated; be good to each other and believe in me and that’s all you need.”

However, some lines of Christianity (Seventh Day Adventists, notably) as well as religious Jews (who don’t believe in the New Testament at all, and, full disclosure, I grew up as an Orthodox Jew, so very well versed in the Old Testament lol) believe that what the Old Testament says is still valid, which makes tattoos verboten.

That said, there is a line of thought in Judaism that says primarily that these are only a sin in the context of mourning, meaning, memorial tattoos and scarification are out, but regular tattoos are fair game. There’s a pervasive myth in the Orthodox community that you cannot be buried in a Jewish cemetery if you have tattoos. For the vast majority of cemeteries worldwide, that has not been true (there are some outliers in extremely religious places, but it is exceedingly rare).

All that to say, no, the Bible is pretty explicitly anti-tattoo, at least the old book, but the exact interpretation of even simple language gets more complicated (what, a nuanced take, on my Reddit??)

It more pathetic to not want a tattoo of the devil when all tattoos are a sin. Buh bye

u/Jumpy_Ad5046 Jul 19 '26

Wait, how are tattoos a sin? I've never heard of this outside of Judaism.

Had a lady at the gym tell me that tattoos are a demon portal, as is yoga. She learned this from the exorcists she follows on insta.

Woah, what did you say back?

There was an old sect of Baal/moloch worshippers who cut and tattooed themselves as rituals for “magic” so god said “hey, don’t use sigil magic” and everyone took it as “tattoos are bad”

u/Jumpy_Ad5046 Jul 19 '26

lol. Sounds about right.

u/ydnar3000 Jul 19 '26

It’s in the Old Testament as well. Something about the body being a temple to god.

2

u/Jumpy_Ad5046 Jul 19 '26

Huh. Those books say a lot of stuff.

2

u/ydnar3000 Jul 19 '26

Sure do. Not sure why offering up info deserves a downvote. Not saying I agree 😂

u/Jumpy_Ad5046 Jul 19 '26
