SNAKE 46: Are Tattoos a Good Idea?

Feb 4, 2025    Tanner Cartwright, Jerry Dorris

In this episode of Snake on the Table, Tanner Cartwright and Jerry Dorris dive into the cultural and spiritual implications of tattoos and redemption. What do tattoos signal about identity, past decisions, and faith? From personal anecdotes to exploring biblical masculinity and cultural norms, we tackle tough questions about how outward choices, like tattoos or piercings, might reflect inner beliefs or rebellion.


Are tattoos a good idea? How do they tie into themes of faith, gender roles, and parenting? Join us as we share honest thoughts, including the perspective that tattoos can mark a past life redeemed by God's grace. As pastors at Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky, we bring a biblical lens to these conversations, reminding viewers of God’s transformative power.


We want to hear from you! What’s your take on tattoos and their meaning in today's culture? Share your thoughts or send questions to us—we’d love to continue the conversation. Don’t forget to check out Snake on the Table on Spotify and Apple Podcasts for more episodes like this. God bless!
