Christian scholars condemned bodily modifications because they wanted to control your body instead.

Always has been.

Yeah, that's basically all of major religions. Their rationale was resurrection and the rapture.

I would like to know how, at least in some Christian variations, that you can't have tats or piercings when the text I remember covering the subject was more like, "don't burn your corpse, you're gonna need it when the time comes." If I had tats or whatever, I'd still have an intact body to be resurrected. 🤷‍♂️

My guess is that someone was jealous of his fellow's tats and it all snowballed from there
