“THE TATTOOS” OPINIONS OF FATHER AMORTH AND FATHER FORTEA (EXORCISTS).
The different opinions of the exorcist P. Amorth and Father Fortea on tattoos.
Father Gabriele Amorth, renowned and deceased Italian exorcist, and the famous theologian, and expert in demonology, the Spanish Father José Antonio Fortea, expose their positions regarding the use of tattoos.
Tattoos are like an indirect consecration to the devil. In the book, “Manual de Demonología” by Simone Iuliano, Father Gabriele Amorth and Father Mario Granato wrote a preface where they touch on the subject of tattoos.
According to them, whoever tattoos himself would be committing an involuntary satanic act, since he would be attacking the "Temple of God", which is your body, a member of the body of Christ.
They even quote Anton LaVey, founder of the satanic church in the United States, when he said in his book "Modern Primitives" that behind every tattoo there is Satanism.
Fr. Fortea said that it is known that there are tattooists who consecrate the dye to the devil before tattooing. Even in these cases, the sin does not lie with the person who is tattooed (if he does not know if the dye has been consecrated), since his intention is not to surrender to the devil.
But…
“Young people have to be reminded that the body is a work of God. And that it is one thing to put something on top of that body and another to practice irreparable reforms on it,” Father Fortea also explained.
"It's the fact of irreversibility that makes common sense wonder if it's the right thing to do," he continued.
He also highlighted: “no matter how artistic or beautiful a tattoo may seem, the skin in any of the colors and tones granted by God to his children will always be much more beautiful”.
