Tattoos don’t dishonour the body. What matters is what the mark points to, not the mark itself- gospel artiste Mike Abdul

Nigerian gospel artiste, Mike Abdul, has also weighed in on the controversy surrounding Christians who get tattoos on their bodies. A Lagos based pastor over the weekend revealed he had just gotten a tattoo and this has sparked a debate online as some Christians criticized him for ‘’dishonoring the body God gave him”.

Responding to Christians against Tattoos, Mike in a post shared on IG, said that tattoos do not dishonor the body of a person. He wrote

‘’Tattoos +

Tattoos were used for identity, memory, status, covenant, and storytelling across ancient cultures, nothing more.

Tattoos don’t dishonour the body.

What dishonors a temple is not writing on the walls, what matters is what the mark points to, not the mark itself.

God reads hearts, not skin.

Ink without conviction is decoration.

Ink with conviction is remembrance.

If a tattoo leads you closer to gratitude, identity, or reverence, it has served a good purpose for you.

Faith is not proven by unmarked skin, but by transformed lives.”
