Can getting a tattoo open the door to demonic oppression? Some deliverance ministers claim tattoos are a guaranteed gateway to demonization—but is that actually biblical?
In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis explores whether tattoos are inherently sinful, whether they can invite spiritual oppression, and what Scripture truly says about “open doors” and “legal rights” in spiritual warfare. Along the way, we look at Ephesians 4, Leviticus 19, Isaiah 44, and insights from scholars like Dr. Clint Arnold and Dr. Gordon Wenham. We also survey ancient Near Eastern practices, church history (including tattooed Coptic Christians), and examine real-life testimonies of deliverance linked to tattoos.
⚠️ This isn’t a clickbait scare tactic—it’s a serious theological conversation aimed at clarity, not controversy.
🔍 Topics Covered:
- Do tattoos violate God’s moral law?
- Are tattoos a form of idolatry or pagan worship?
- What does “giving the devil a foothold” actually mean?
- What kind of tattoos might invite demonic activity?
- Are all tattoos off-limits, or does intent matter?
Whether you have tattoos, are considering one, or are just curious about the deliverance debate, this video is for you.
