When getting a tattoo of a religious symbol it is important to be sensitive to its meaning, even if you do not believe in the religion. If you are a religious person, give serious thought to whether or not getting a tattoo fits in with your religious values. A tattoo is for life and thus can be a powerful show of religious commitment. It can also be a very long-lasting mistake if you decide later that it is not in keeping with your values.
- Christian tattoo designs include crosses, the Virgin Mary, verses from the bible and the Icthys or Christian fish.
- Jewish designs include a Star of David, the outline of the historical land of Israel or Hebrew lettering.
- Buddhist tattoos center around images of the Buddha, bodhisattvas, lotus flowers and Dharma wheels.
- Hindus might show their faith with images of Hindu deities or traditional Indian art.
- Islam can be tricky, as images of Allah and Mohammed are generally forbidden and considered offensive. Though a Muslim might get a tattoo of a verse from the Quran in Arabic or the crescent and star.
