8. Leg Christian Tattoos

The legs are another location for tattoos that seems to be growing more popular in recent years.

First off, there are different locations, from the calves and ankles, to the much bigger thigh muscles that can accommodate larger designs, the make legs a great choice. The legs also serve as the foundations for the rest of our bodies, adding to the significance when getting important images like these Christian designs applied to the legs.  

9. Negative Space Christian Tattoos

When using black and gray, an artist is limited by the color scheme so they must be clever in their approach in order to create an interesting tattoo. The use of negative space is absolutely paramount in terms of creating a black and gray tattoo that can still catch the eye and turn heads. 

The fully saturated black ink creates the darkest tones in a piece, while the untouched skin provides the negative space that makes up the other end of the spectrum used for the highlights. These Christian designs are excellent examples of how important negative space is when creating one of a kind black and gray tattoos.  

10. Virgin Mary Tattoos

After Jesus, the Virgin Mother Mary is probably the single most important figure in Christianity. In some traditions—Mexican Christianity specifically—Mary is given importance that almost eclipses that of Jesus. The Immaculate Conception is one of the most important stories in Christianity and is reenacted in Churches around the world every year on Christmas Eve.
