such as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints "strongly discourage" tattoos, as the LDS.org website phrases it on the grounds of not desecrating God's creation or threatening good health.

JUDAISM Tattoos are a form of self-wounding (in Hebrew havalah b’atzmo) and self-wounding is prohibited. Judaism believes that God owns our bodies and so defacing what we do not own is a sin.
