i know were not suppose to have any graven images, but I do love tattoos, i myself have 5, and I want more. I don't like the gaudy tattoos, although some people think all tattoos are gaudy. But to each there own. i guess this is just one way i give in to the world around me

“Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.”
Leviticus 19:28

You have to understand the context of this.... In some versions it says piercings and cuttings of the skin..... this was written because at the time things like that were used to show paganism and virtually satanism.... well thats my understanding of it....

I myself have a small tattoo with my last name on my back and will be getting some soon.....

I dont think tattoos are biblically wrong as i have been there with a group praying for someone and the holy spirit filled his tattoo with colour before our eyes..... !!!!

“Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.”
Leviticus 19:28

“What comes out of a person is what defiles them. 21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”

You can infer from this that it is what you do and what is in your heart that matters-not what you look like.

Of course, your body is supposed to be treated as the property of God/a temple/etc., but I'm of the opinion that it's fine as long as it's healthy.

Tattoos were indeed used by pagans as a sort of ritualistic practice. Tattoos were used almost exclusively by pagan tribes and nations. They are still used to show paganism and satanism even today:

What are the most popular tattoos? Tribal tattoos. Here's an example of one...

If the origin of the practice is to promote paganism, then why would it be any different today? That's like saying the pentagram can be a Christian symbol.

NOTE: It's true that not everyone gets openly satanic tattoos, but the practice itself is undeniably of the occult, imo, and a warning against it is in Leviticus (the passage I posted earlier)
