A practitioner asks: “What are the spiritual and karmic implications of getting tattoos? Would Creator advise against them, or is it mostly inconsequential?” What is Creator’s perspective?

This can be done for a lofty reason or a lowly one. There are many cultures where a ritual adornment through tattoos is part of the custom and considered a high privilege and honor. So, as with all human endeavors, what matters is the end result. Does it raise your vibration or lower it? Does it help you in life to widen your horizons and increase your range of options, or does it undermine you in some way? So the answer to your question will be quite case-specific with respect to time and place, the culture, and the individuals within it and how their individual life will go. For some, it will be an interesting diversion and entertainment, and perhaps a source of pride being seen as a kind of rite of passage that will increase their acceptance by others they esteem who are enamored of body art themselves. For others, it will be something that is off-putting and might work against them in a new setting, and may come to regret having done something that is difficult to undo. So one size does not fit all.
