The Evansville Courier and Press features a report on pastors with Christian tattoos. Excerpts from the article (including the video below):

Thirty-one year-old Jeremy Edmondson--pastor of an Evansville Southern Baptist church says his Christian tattoos are ice-breakers that let him share his faith.

Clinton Vaught, the 22-year-old youth minister at Resurgence, has several Christian and secular tattoos, including "Dead to the World" on his arm and "Honor the Sabbath Day and Keep it Holy" on his leg.

"I get a lot of compliments," Vaught said. "Sometimes I feel people are judging me, too."

"I'm using these tattoos as part of my ministry," he said.

"The church," Edmondson said, "has got to get out of the mentality, 'You have to look like I do' in order to come to God."

But some Christians — and believers of other faiths — oppose tattoos for spiritual reasons.

"I'm very anti-tattoo," said Terry Ruebush, the pastor at Evansville First Seventh-day Adventist Church. "I don't care what form they take."

"The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and we shouldn't defile it," Ruebush said. "If you call yourself a Christian, your body is a representation of Christ and the Holy Spirit." Seventh-day Adventists also believe "the adornment should be on the inside, not on the outside." They also discourage wearing jewelry or much makeup, he said.

"God can use anything," Ruebush said, "but what would he rather have?"

Not tattoos, according to Judaism. "In the Torah, there is a direct commandment we are not to get a tattoo because that's what the pagans used to do," said Rabbi Helen Bar-Yaacov of Temple Adath B'nai Israel in Evansville.

A passage in Leviticus tells Jews not to make gashes on their flesh for the dead or incise any marks on themselves. To say a tattoo is a tool for spreading the faith, Bar-Yaacov said, "would be the equivalent of saying you show your faith by eating pork." More...
