Are tattoos of Biblical Verses okay?

[Jestepher]

Hello, according to Roman Catholic doctrine, is getting a tattoo of a bible verse blasphemous/sinful/forbidden?

I want to get Ephesians 6:16-17 (Vulgate) on my arm but want to make sure it’s not offensive to the RCC and especially God to do so.

Thanks,

Jess
