Would have to research as been a long time since I read that part. But the bible clearly spells out not to mark your body.
That wasn't a pope thing. It's a biblical thing. Now a pope may have called it out (also making you correct), but it's always been part of the canon material.

Here ya go;
In Leviticus 19:27-28 we are commanded:
"(27) You shall not round the edge of your head, nor shall you destroy the edge of your beard. (28) And you shall not make a cutting for the dead in your flesh, nor shall you make a written tattoo upon you; I am Yehovah."
Interestingly, the making of tattoos as an act of mourning is the most elusive in the list. It is only mentioned once in Leviticus 19:28 and then never alluded to again in the Tanach. Reference is made to writing on the flesh as an act of dedication to Yehovah (Isaiah 44:5), but never as an act of mourning.
Yet the practice of inscribing the name of the dead loved one in a tattoo still exists to this very day. This practice has come to the attention of the public when it was reported that New York firemen and policemen were inscribing tattoos on their flesh in memory of their deceased comrades.
@rotteuxx sorry, I’m kinda pushing in here but so many people have such a false idea of what GOD’s word actually says compared to what they have been brainwashed into believing it says...
Still according to Leviticus 19, we shouldn't shave our beards nor sideburns, not eat the fruit of a tree you've planted for 5 years, wages should be paid at the end of everyday, not eat meat from an animal dead for more than 3 days... but that was all directed at the assembly of Israel, especially since:
Leviticus 19:17 “‘Do not hate a fellow Israelite in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in their guilt.
Never mentioned again in any part of the New Testament...
