There are a lot of different types of Christian tattoos that people can get, but Bible verse tattoos are a bit more special to some since they allow people to show the words that mean the most to them. Whether the Bible verse tattoos are text only or have an image or two around them, the centerpiece of these designs are the verses themselves and the meanings attached to them. If you are interested in getting a Bible verse tattoo, take a look at the information below for the history of these tattoos and some of the most popular verses that people get.

Verses taken from the Christian Bible, both the Old and New testaments, are popular choices for Christians. The scripture found in the Bible is pedagogical and used to teach important lessons that should be carried through one’s life and actions. Bible verses serve as a reminder of the teachings or miracles of Jesus Christs, as well as the creation theory and other allegories from the Old Testament.

Each of the verses found within the chapters of the Bible can mean different things to different people. While some have become so popular that they are known for having just a few meanings, the truth is that people often attach their own meanings to them since they affected them at very specific times of their lives. This obviously makes Bible verse tattoos that much more meaningful since they give people hope and perhaps remind them of the hardships that they have overcome.

There are various passages from the scripture that are commonly used for tattoos and other means of expression. Depending on which book of the Bible the passage is taken from, the context of the quote can change as the intended speaker changes. A passage taken from the Book of Psalms is meant to be taken more at its face value while quotes from God or disciples are more open to interpretation from person to person. This is why it is not wise to assume the meaning of a Bible verse tattoo simply because you have heard of and/or talked about it in the past. The same Bible verse tattoo can mean one thing to one person and something completely different to the next since so many are open to interpretation.
