Why does pastor have tattoos?
Prophet Lovy‘s explanation was posted on TikTok and elicited mixed feelings among netizens.
The preacher first asked if he looks like a pastor and proceeded to talk about his tattoos.
“No, I got my tattoos when I got saved, not before,” he said.
The 38-year-old cleric said he decided to have tattoos after being born again for years because he just wanted it.
He said having tattoos is not a sin.
“After being born again for years, I did it because I wanted to do it. And, it is not a sin. I’m okay.
“So, what if he got them before?” No, this is not…Don’t make that excuse for me.
“I’m comfortable in my skin.”
Speaking further, the preacher cited 1 Corinthians 2 towards the end, a verse in the Bible, to defend his tattoo stance.
“We have the mind of Christ. You can’t tell me nothing. I have the mind of God. What you tell me is your own business. You can’t instruct me. Why? I already have my instructions. When God appeared to be, you were not present.
“Not saying God can’t send somebody to give you some guidance but Nahh, I’m good,” he maintained.
