Faith symbols often correlate with religious symbols, both used to convey religiousness and spirituality. These symbols are considered to be one of the main religious and faith expressions, in almost every religion and culture around the globe. Throughout our history, for thousands of years, symbolic representation of our belief and faith has developed, deepened, and widened, and is ever-present even nowadays.

One of the ways people showcase and express their faith and religion is through tattoos. This is, of course, a relatively new concept of faith expression, but even in ancient Egypt people did tattoos to express their loyalty to certain gods and religions.

Now, there are religions where tattoos are not allowed and are even considered to be a hell-worthy sin.
