My Invisible Tattoo

For a long time I’ve wanted to get a tattoo. The only thing that stopped me was that I was not sure it was “alright” with God.
After searching online, I found out that most people must be equally confused because there are a lot of Christians who say it’s ok among the many who say it’s not.
When it came down to me, I put my faith in the Bible - Leviticus 19:28 - that says “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.”
This however doesn’t seem to be enough for all Christians. Many seem to think that because it’s ‘Old Testament’ it somehow excuses them from following it.
