There are statements in the bible that say you shall not cut your flesh or print any marks upon the flesh. Some say that the passage is refers to a practice of the time, in which they would carve idols on their bodies at funerals. The new testament does not mention such limitations. So a lot of Christians have decided to celebrate their relationship with God, and let everyone know that they have given their life to him and they want to display it through their tattoos such as Praying Hands, The Sacred Heart, Angels, The Apostles and even Jesus himself! These symbols can include doves, angels fighting demons in battle scenes, crucifixion scenes, and many more. In a day where you look around and Religion is being taken away at alarming rates, I think it very noble that an individual would take a stance and tell the world, Look at me, I’m a Christian! Most tattoos have a very distinct meaning to the individual that wears it. Whether it be Christian or another type of tattoo. In the world of tattooing, there is a very strong presence of Christian symbolism and designs and it seems to have always been a part of Western culture. Portraits of Jesus and Mary abound, as do pictures of the Last Supper, back tattoos of the Rock of Ages and more. Beautiful crosses, in indefinite variations, are one of the most popular tattoo designs these days. A huge number of modern Christians now feel that the passage in the Bible speaks only to emblems not of their own faith, and take no shame in wearing body art that speaks for their beliefs. For many it is a constant reminder of the divine and makes them feel closer to God. Others have gotten religious tattoos as symbols of healing or re-birth. No matter what type of tattoo you choose….it almost always has a very special meaning to you. Whether it is your spouse’s name or praying hands, the body art is usually a symbol of something very close to your heart. Christian Tattoo Trend
