But Lucifer himself is NOT an actual dragon. I know that some people will say yes because Lucifer takes the form of a dragon in the Bible. As for me, I'm an Artist and I serve in the Church, but I don't believe in tattooing my own body.Ĭlick to expand.This is solely my opinion.no, it would not be a sin. At least this proclaims God's grace or could serve as a conversation starter. For example, I suppose we could depict Christ crushing the head of a serpent in a traditional Japanese style. That said, if people are very interested in tattoos as an art form, I think artwork that reflects our faith is preferable to art that is either pagan or meaningless. We should honour God and our neighbour by honouring our own bodies. That is, God created us as body and soul, not as a soul in a bodily shell that is of lower value or importance to our inner being. I don't think we should treat our body as a mere canvas for art, but as a gift from God and a holy temple for Him. I can also mention that I'm also agnostic about tattoos in general. And also, for what it's worth, here in Japan, a tattoo of a dragon has certain connotations that are not particularly good, so in our context, I would advise against it. With regards to Japanese artworks of dragons, specifically, I think it would be wise to be mindful of possible connections to Shinto and Buddhism, which are contrary to our faith. However, it is good to consider what is meant by the artwork and what we are confessing to the world about it. Well, perhaps it's worth saying that it's not a sin in and of itself to be interested in art, even traditional Japanese art.
