Tattoo inks contain a myriad of heavy metals. Red tattoo inks often contain mercury, and tattoos pierce the skin leaving the ink permanently embedded. FDA has not approved any tattoo pigments for injection into the skin. Tattoo parlors are regulated by the state and city, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not require manufacturers to release their ink’s ingredients; doing so could supposedly give away trade secrets. The lack of regulation is slightly unnerving considering that 36 percent of people ages 18-25 have tattoos, as do 40 percent of those 26-40 years old. That means approximately 45 million Americans have been inked, and one-third of those did so because it makes them feel “sexy.”
The carrier solution used in tattoo inks contains harmful substances such as denatured alcohols, methanol, antifreeze, detergents, formaldehyde, and toxic aldehydes.
What’s more, the review found eight cases of malignant melanoma on the site of the tattoo. “Tattoo inks may contain carcinogens, but it’s unclear whether the reported cases of skin cancer are associated with tattoos or occurred coincidentally,” says Dr. Bäumler, whose study noted that this number is few in comparison to the many people who have tattoos. (In fact, 24% of the population is inked.)
An alarming research study recently published by Dr. Bob Haley and Dr. Paul Fischer at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas uncovered that the “innocent” commercial tattoo may be the number one distributor of hepatitis C. The study was published in the journal Medicine (Haley RW, Fischer RP, Commercial tattooing as a potentially source of hepatitis C infection, Medicine, March 2000;80:134-151).
Dr. Haley, a preventative medicine specialist and a former Center for Disease Control (CDC) infection control official, is exceptionally knowledgeable to prepare the study. Dr. Haley concludes, “We found that commercially acquired tattoos accounted for more than twice as many hepatitis C infections as injection-drug use. This means it may have been the largest single contributor to the nationwide epidemic of this form of hepatitis.”

MORE TATTOO INFO
Our bodies are to be the temple of the Holy Ghost, and we are not to treat them as we please. If we defile them, we will be naturally destroyed (1 Corinthians 3:16-17) (one of the ways we may defile our bodies is by what we eat and drink) (Daniel 1:8). We were bought with the blood of Jesus, therefore, our bodies are not our own, meaning we can't treat them any way we wish. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
As a result, we are not to tattoo our bodies (Leviticus 19:28) (if we have done this, just ask for forgiveness, but don't do it anymore (1 John 1:9) (Tattooing causes medical conditions as well. Were you aware that a large percent of those who get tattooed come down with Hepatitis C. HOW YOU MAY ASK? Because even though they change the needles, the ink is contaminated. It's like a back wash after doing a tattoo...the blood from the ink goes through the needle and some can get mixed into the ink inside the gun. A lot of people are unaware of this.
You see, you cannot separate God from true health & healing. It's true. God is the designer of our bodies. (Psalms 139:13-14/Hebrews 10:5 "a body has thou prepared me") And He knows what is best for us.
God is the manufacturer of every human body. And his manufacture's guide is the Bible, and mankind is not to live without it (Matthew 4:4). If they do, they will truly reap their own ways. (Proverbs 14:12; Galatians 6:7)
We are told that the Bible brings healing (Matthew 8:16) (I know of deadly cases that walked out of hospitals 100% healed after being read the Bible).
All throughout the Bible it tells us how to have great health. God wants us to have health in BODY, SOUL, & SPIRIT (1 Thessalonians 5:23) And according to WHO (World Health organization, this is what TRUE HEALTH IS) ...You see, most people are sick or dying from a sickness...And they that be whole need not a physician (Matthew 9:12) as Jesus tells us.
OTHER WAYS TO CAUSE US NOT TO BE WHOLE:
Some people feel that they can mark up the body with tattoos any way they want & pierce the body a little here and a little there. But were you aware that if you pierce your body, your ear, navel, or anywhere for that matter, that it takes 1 yr. before you can give blood? You have just poisoned the body.
The world knows that you have poisoned the body. The American Red Cross won't even take your blood. Why not? Because scientific research shows that when you put this ink on your body, it goes into the bloodstream & poisons the blood. As a matter of fact, it is said, that in today's day, approximately 80% of those who get tattoos wind up getting Hepatitis C -- the main reason is not the needle, because they change the needle due to certain health laws in each city, but the backed up ink in the gun is used over & over & all it takes is one infected person with hepatitis c to cause the problem.
THE BIBLE SAYS:
“Know ye not that your bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own. For ye a are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are God’s (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)... WE ARE NOT AT LIBERTY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF GOD'S BODY. God's people should not tattoo and pierce their bodies.
NOW LET’S LOOK AT THE SIMPLICITY IN CLOTHING WORN BY GOD’S TRUE CHURCH REPRESENTED BY THE WOMAN IN CHAPTER 12
Rev 12:1 – And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Note: You don’t see jewels, make-up, complex apparel, or tattoos on her forehead. (Rev 17:5).
