Christian Inspired Religious Tattoo Designs
- The Latin Religious tattoo. This is the simple
Religious tattoo most
popular today, with a long vertical line with a smaller horizontal line intersecting
it about 1/3 of the way down. For a Latin
Religious tattoo design, you might consider
one that has a wooden appearance. Other variations include adding shamrocks
if you’re Irish, flames if you’re Pentecostal or Charismatic;
wing and praying hands also go well with the Latin
Religious tattoo, especially in memorial
tattoos.
- The Religious tattoo of Triumph. Similar to the design of
the Latin Religious tattoo, the
Religious tattoo of Triumph adds a large circle to the base with
the outline of an upside-down T inside. This
Religious tattoo is a symbol that testifies
to the universal triumph of the Gospel throughout the world.
- The 3-Step Religious tattoo (or the “Graded
Religious tattoo”). This Religious takes the Latin
Religious tattoo and adds 3 steps
at the bottom. From the top down, these steps signify faith, hope and then
love.
- The Crucifix. The Crucifix takes that traditional
Latin Religious tattoo and proclaims the image of
Jesus Christ crucifixion and death.
Most commonly, the Religious of the crucifix is wooden. This is a popular symbol
in the Catholic faith.
- The Russian Orthodox Religious tattoo. This icon of the
Russian Orthodox Church is similar to the Latin Religious tattoo, but it simply has added
2 more lines. One is a smaller horizontal line above the original horizontal,
plus an additional line running diagonally (sloping down from the left to
the right) placed below the original horizontal line.
- The Tao Religious tattoo. This was the founder of the modern
Religious tattoo, and was as popular in the ancient history of Christianity as the Latin
Religious tattoo is today. But, instead of making a Religious tattoo, the design of the
Religious
tattoo is
a capital “T”. It’s name, Tao, is the Greek word for the
letter t.
- The Crusader’s Religious tattoo. To visualize the
Crusader’s Religious tattoo, imagine four capital T’s. Then, place those
four T’s together, each facing one of the four directions (N, S, E or
W), with the base of each T meeting in the middle. Worn by many Crusader knights,
this Religious was actually composed of a total of five different Religious tattoo, each
one signifying one of the wounds Jesus Christ suffering during the crucifixion.
- The Maltese Religious tattoo. The Maltese
Religious
tattoo is created
by combining four special triangles (which are more like a double lined forked
V) joined at their apexes. Also known as an 8-pointed star, this design also
dates back to the time of the Crusades. It was worn by the order of the
Hospitable,
who later moved their headquarters to Malta.
- The Celtic Religious tattoo. Also known as the
Religious
tattoo of
Iona, this design was popular among early Christians in Britannia, and spread
to the rest of Europe widely in the 6th century A.D. In it’s simplest
form, the Celtic Religious tattoo is like a Latin Religious tattoo with a small circle surrounding
the arms’ intersection. This design is incredibly popular in
Celtic Religious tattoos and tribal
Religious tattoo designed armbands. Some Religious Religious Tattooists and flash galleries
have some very impressive and intricate Celtic
picture Religious tattoo designs available.
- The Anchor Religious tattoo. Popular among sailors and maritime
professionals, this picture Religious tattoo design actually originated in Egypt. However, early
Christians adopted this sign as their own, and used it often enough that it
is common to the Catacombs.
- St. Andrew’s Religious tattoo. The
picture Religious tattoo of Saint
Andrew is shaped like an “X” with arms of equal length intersecting
at their centers. St. Andrew, like the Apostle Peter, didn’t deem himself
worthy to be buried on a picture
Religious
tattoo identical to Jesus Christ.
- The Resurrection Religious tattoo. This
picture Religious tattoo is based on
the structure of the Latin picture
Religious
tattoo. However, it is of wooden construction, and
has a purple robe draped over the horizontal arm, a crown of thorns perched
aReligious the top, and a wooden rectangle bearing the inscription “I.N.R.I”
(which translates loosely to “Jesus Christ of Nazareth, King of the
Jews”). This particular picture
Religious
tattoo design has an Easter celebratory tone
to it, and could easily be paired with a separate
picture Religious tattoo of a cave tomb with
the stone rolled away.
