Have Faith - Selecting Religious Tattoos For Your Belief System

from:

More and more, tattoos are becoming a method of self expression. Whether you want to display your love for a person, place, or even a religion, there are many options available. Religious tattoos are common among many different belief systems, including Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jewish. There are many different symbols and designs pertaining to each faith that provide a great way to show your devotion to your religion.

Christian Religious Tattoos

The ironic thing about Christian tattoos is that, while they are fairly popular and there are a wide variety of them, they have been banned by the Christian churches at several points throughout history. The first ban on tattooing was by the Roman emperor that stopped the persecution of Christians—none other than Constantine himself. Constantine banned the placement of tattoos on the face. Later, Pope Adrian I declared that tattooing was pagan and barbaric and banned it all together.

There are many Christian religious tattoos that originate from symbols or bible verses. Some common examples include: the chalice, the Christian fish, the Crown of Thorns, the Crucifix, the Good Shepherd, the Grail, the Holy Trinity, John 13:35, Madonna, Rosary, Sacred Heart, and the Virgin Mary. The cross, in all of its many forms and varieties, is also a common Christian religious tattoo.

Islamic Religious Tattoos

Many Islamic fundamentalists have interpreted religious texts, such as the Quran and the Hadith, to say that tattooing should be forbidden. However, religious tattoos are still a common practice in Muslim society. Some popular symbols include: the Crescent with Star, the Hand of Fatima, and verses of the Quran written in Arabic calligraphy.

Hindu Tattoos

Unlike other religions, Hindus consider tattoos to be sacred images and to not prohibit them. As Hinduism is a polytheistic religion, many religious tattoos focus on the various gods that pertain to the religion. Some of the most popular Hindu tattoos include: Ganesha, Brahma, Kali, Shiva, Vishnu, and Krishna.

Buddhist Tattoos

The forms of the Buddhist religion are extensive. Although tattoos were originally frowned upon, they have come to be accepted in many different Buddhist sects. Some common Buddhist tattoos are: Bo Tree, the Buddha, a Lotus, Om, a Stupa, and protective scripts written in the traditional calligraphy.

The Great Tattoo Debate

Religious tattoos are somewhat controversial, because many religions prohibit the act of tattooing. Yet, most people have come to consider these tattoos to be a symbol of devotion and faith.
