In Leviticus 19: 28- ''Do not cut your bodies for the dead (out of mourning. for this originated from witchcraft, when satanists wanted to 'become one' with satan.) or put tattoo marks on yourselves.'' God doesn't want you to tattoo for the dead, for things on earth will not last long, but his kingdom endures forever. God doesn't want mourning, but gladness in your life.
