That's only because ancient people tattooed themselves to worship the archons.

The ancients would tattoo themselves for many reasons. Hunting, war, or potentially therapeutic reasons as is thought of Otzi the iceman:

The religious like to make everything about religion.

It was clearly the archon worship that Leviticus prohibits.

The meaning is typically understood as such, but it may have been understood differently at the time. Such markings were also a symbol of servitude at the time, this would perhaps be against the idea of serving no-one but the le God.

Isn't that the same thing? I guess that just extends it to human masters rather than only archons.
