One issue on which most Bible-based religions agree on is that a tattoo is wrong. Fundamentalist Christians, Catholics and Jews all agree on this point. They, however, have very different views on why it is wrong. It is interesting to look at the beliefs and viewpoints of these religions - not just what everyone thinks, but what all the bases in the belief
For fundamentalist Christians, the common view is that people should not have tattoos tattoos, because they are "a pagan practice." Fundamentalist leaders say that this is reason enough not to have tattoos, but also add that none of the Bible according to which a person can not. Any confusion on this point of view is explained by the fact that the fundamentalist belief that the Bible consists of the entire New Testament and the New Testament contains no reference to the tattoo, positive or negative. Target practice of tattooing something that has been or is going to the Gentiles, is the main object of their practice.
As Catholics we believe that the Old Testament is as relevant as the New Testament, Catholic general negativity towards the subject is covered in the scriptures such as Leviticus 19:28, which reads: "Thou shalt not break in your body the dead, nor make any tattoo in itself ... "For most Catholics, however, is still often considered more a matter of personal interpretation and personal choice. The modern habit of Catholic interpretation of the book is that while the tattoo is really bad as biblical standards is not necessarily a sin.
The Jewish faith is the theme, and the negativity of it, even more.
Like the books of the Old Testament to be exported to the word of God and the commandments, which must be observed, is a Jew to believe tattoos are something that simply does not. This command against the desecration of the institution is proported to be one of the main reasons for tattooing have been careful to Jews in concentration camps during the Holocaust, was not only identified, many people assume. It 'was an attempt to separate observant Jews to their God, even if reluctantly.
In the Jewish faith, the desecration of the body with tattoos is considered a violation of the commandments, to a person with tattoos are sometimes denied burial in Jewish cemeteries. While this used to be the normal practice is modern, reflecting the bans resulted in less that this is less disturbing than before. Even today, few but the most orthodox consider to be a serious problem, it's still really a problem.
The general consensus between the base of three biblical religions is that it is wrong to have tattoos, although the reasons for each of the points of view and certainly different. Whatever our faith may be, the two main factors involve both what religion teaches about tattoos, and what their specific reason for it. These are important factors, regardless of who is an observer of religion in particular, and clearly indicates that one must consider two factors to make an informed decision about whether or not a tattoo.
