Despite the widespread popularity of body modification, this study is the first to provide a comparative analysis of Catholic and Orthodox perspectives on tattoos and piercings.By examining historical, doctrinal, and ethical debates, the book explores scriptural interpretations, official Church teachings, and theological arguments. It also considers cultural and pastoral dimensions, shedding light on a controversial yet relevant issue in contemporary Christianity. As a comparative study, it not only deepens the understanding of Catholic and Orthodox traditions but also fosters interfaith and intercultural dialogue, promoting communication and mutual respect. By bridging historical perspectives with modern practice, this research offers valuable insights for theologians, scholars, and readers interested in an intersectional study of faith, identity, and personal expression.

Angelos Mavropoulos holds a PhD in Christian Ethics and Comparative Theology from Dublin City University, Ireland. In addition to his theological expertise, he has a diploma in Bioethics & Medical Conduct from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, broadening his research into medical ethics. His work focuses, but is not limited to, bioethics, the ethics of body modification, interreligious dialogue, and comparative theology.
