Atheist tattoos, which fall into the “sceptic tattoo” category, are designs meant to show people’s pride in being atheists or to bring awareness to atheism. There are actually a bunch of symbols and larger designs to choose from now, so atheists can easily tweak their tattoos to make them their own. Below you will find some information on atheist tattoos, including the meanings behind these designs and some of the ways that you can get them inked on your skin.

Obviously the main reason why people decide to get atheist tattoos is because atheism is part of who they are and they simply want to show that through a design. Some people see this as atheists trying to push their beliefs onto others, but the vast majority of these tattoos are simply a way for people to show part of who they are. In fact, these atheist tattoos can very much be compared to religious tattoos as most people are getting them for themselves rather than trying to bring attention to what they have on their skin.

Some people take this a step further and want to show their full-blown pride in their beliefs (or non-beliefs, depending on your take on it). In these cases the owners of these tattoos want people to see them because they want others to know that atheism is a part of their lives. These tattoos are usually placed in very visible parts of the body, such as on the hand, the wrist, the forearm, or even the neck area.

As we pointed out up top, sometimes the point in getting atheism tattoos is to show others that atheism is a real widespread thing that a lot of people “believe” in. Some still think that atheism is quite rare, so these tattoos can make it clear that there are atheists all over the globe. In these cases people usually get the well-known atheist symbols as a way of showing comradery with all other atheists.
