Religious Tattoo

Though religious tattoos have been around since ancient times but over the years they seem to have lost acceptance in the modern world but they have not completely gone into oblivion. Some of the popular religious tattoos are Scared Heart or Virgin Mary which both male and female get them on their upper arms and chest. Another popular religious tattoo on the list is Celtic cross tattoo which one can either get on their back or chest.

Religious tattoos have been becoming a part of expression of individuality, faith and identity though limits have been placed by conservative Christian churches with regards to bodily expressions. Religious tattoos are regarded as one of the popular tattoo designs and religious celtic tattoos and tribal tattoos top the charts of people seeking religious tattoos.

Religious tattoos also offer a way fro people to express their devotion or faith and if we take the case of Ainu who were original inhabitants of Japan then tattooing has been associated with magical beliefs too. Though certain religion prohibits religious tattoos but for tattoo lovers this is a form of expression of their devotion towards their god. Some of the popular religious tattoos are Hindu tattoos, Christina religious tattoos and Buddhist tattoos.

Tattoos got encouragement from various churches during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries but this was generally restricted to Greek Catholic and Greek Orthodox denominations. A number of priests in Coptic Church have been tattooed and Bulgarians, Catholic Eurasians and Serbians have been wearing religious tattoos on their chests and forearms for quite some time. In case you would like to express faith for your religion then it would be a good option to opt for a religious tattoo which remains close to your body and acts as a tool for expression.
