Evangelist Joyce Meyer Defends Tattoos Says She Might Get One Video

Christian speaker and Evangelist, Joyce Meyer, has made a biblical case for getting tattoos.

Meyer admitted she has been thinking of getting one herself just to shut the mouths of religious people.

In a video clip posted by Joyce Meyer Ministries, Meyer explained the difference between being holy and religious.

“Holiness is not legalism,” Meyer declared. 

She went on to explain that religious people have made a mess of holiness by putting a bunch of rules and regulations on people. She listed drinking, dancing, wearing makeup and more among those rules.

Meyer quoted Isaiah 44:5 in defense of getting permanent markings.

The scripture says,

“One will say, I am the Lord’s; and another will call himself by the name of Jacob; and another will write [even brand or tattoo] upon his hand, I am the Lord’s, and surname himself by the [honorable] name of Israel.” 

She also shared the counterargument often used to discourage believers from getting tattoos found in Leviticus 19:28: “Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the LORD.”
