Lagos-based clergyman, Kingsley Okonkwo, says there is no scripture prohibiting a believer of Christ from having a tattoo on their body.
Over the weekend, the clergyman who is well known for his relationship advice and preachings, shred a video showing himself gettig a Tattoo. Many Nigerian christians slammed him for having the Tattoo. According to his critics, it is ungodly for a Christian, moreso a cleric, to have a tattoo.
However in an interview with News Central, Okonkwo said there is no biblical or scientific evidence that makes tattoos sinful or a sign of bad character. He argued that many religious leaders and worshippers impose personal opinions, church policies, or individual convictions on others without solid justification.
“There is no scripture that says a child of God cannot have a tattoo. People keep shouting that tattoos are bad, yet nobody can explain why. There is no scriptural proof, no scientific proof, just assumptions.”
