Pastor Cliff Sanders/Glad Tidings Assembly of God I’ve interviewed many people who have tattoos on their body. Why do people get tattoos? Some military personnel said it was something to do or because their buddies had one. Some view them as an art form. A tattoo artist said that most who get tattoos do so out of a sense of rebellion or anti-establishment. Some said that it made them feel unique. Others get tattoos to attract attention or to make a statement. One young lady said that it made her feel “sexy” and “bad”. Many older men regret that they ever got one and if there was a simpler and cheaper way to have it removed, they would do so.
