– Mike Abdul Weighs In On Tattoo Debate – Says Faith Is About Heart
Popular Nigerian gospel singer, Mike Abdul has sparked fresh conversation on social media after sharing a thoughtful message on Instagram addressing the ongoing debate about tattoos within Christian communities.
In his post, Abdul reflected on the meaning and significance of tattoos, challenging the notion that ink on the body dishonors a believer.
He wrote that tattoos have historically been used for identity, memory, status, covenant, and storytelling across ancient cultures, and asserted that what truly matters is a person’s heart and intention, not the presence or absence of body marks.

“Tattoos don’t dishonor the body. What dishonors a temple is not writing on the walls; what matters is what the mark points to,” Abdul said, emphasizing that “God reads hearts, not skin.”
