RELIGIOUS TATTOOS: tattoos go against many peoples’ beliefs.

In several the body is considered a temple and should

not be marred. In contrast, though, some people believe that

<>religious tattoos are one of many ways to express their devotion

to their faith, and see it as a way to solidify and show the

permanency of their devoutness.


There are many examples of Western religion in tattoo.

Symbols of both and Catholic worship can be seen

everywhere in crosses, praying hands and

images of deities, saints and even angels.

The crucifix is a favored depiction.

This shows Jesus hanging from the cross, frequently in black and

white, with the slightest bit of red for blood.

These often contain quotes in Latin, directly from the bible or

simply stating the location that it can be found. Many people

also like to use the image of the mother Mary.

Her expression is often sad, and her arms are usually set wide

apart in a welcoming fashion, though she is occasionally depicted

holding the image of the sacred heart. Although in

are considered forbidden, many people still

like to usethe Star of David, and use religious quotes in

beautiful Hebrew lettering.


There are also many Eastern tattoo religious.

The Buddhist wheel is a popular design. It is said

to representthe cyclical nature of life and the afterlife.

The endless knotis another good example of religious tattoos

interpreted from symbology.


This symbol is meant to show the endless wisdom and compassion of

the Buddha.

Some people also like to use the intricate and colorful design

of the Ashtamangala — or, eight auspicious symbols — which

combine eight symbols that the Buddhist find especially lucky.

There are also several other symbols that can be used in this

of art; the Four Guardian Kings, the

Buddhist flag, and many beautiful offerings, amongst other things.

Hinduism is also quite broad in its symbolism.

One of the most frequently used symbols is the Aum (or Om),

which is said to be one of the most important emblems of this

faith.

It is a representation of several important triads, one of

which is the three worlds; heaven, atmosphere and earth.

The lotus is another important symbol.

It represents beauty and detachment.


This detachment is important as it frees a person from being

reborn.

This by no means covers all the possibilities of religious

tattoo, nor all of the faiths. Every religion carries its own

symbols, styles and beauty. With research and patience, you will

certainly find the perfect style to express your personal

devotion.
