Religious Tattoos

About Religious Tattoos

Religious tattoos give permanent expression to faith and spiritual identity — crosses, praying hands, angels and the Sacred Heart, plus sacred figures and scripture from traditions around the world.

• A profession of belief, a source of strength, a tribute, or values to live by
• Much of it is reverent black & grey realism, connected to the Chicano tradition
• Sacred figures call for a realism specialist; scripture needs a letterer
• Verify any text — especially in another language or script — carefully
• Look for an artist who treats the subject with the respect it deserves
