Hi,
I have been tattooed 3 time and pierced 6 times before giving my heart to the Lord, my piercings are all out, and have closed except for one… I would love to get another tattoo but didn’t know if it was a sin… i would want my next tattoo to represent The Lord… is there anyway that you can answer this question for me? thank you so much!

God Bless!
