There are many different religions out there and many people who follow each of them, so it should come as no surprise that religious tattoos are extremely popular. Just check out any tattoo artist’s books and you will probably see dozens if not hundreds of religious tattoo designs.

The thing that you have to keep in mind when looking for a religious tattoo is that it is one of the most personal tattoo designs that you can get. With that in mind, know that it’s usually a good idea to tweak an existing design or come up with a whole new one to make it suit you as best as possible.

One tattoo design that fits in plenty of religious faiths is the angel tattoo. In the majority of organized religions, angels represent direct messengers from God, which, when in tattoo form, gives them an added feeling of security. Some people also get angel tattoos to represent a loved one who has passed away and is in heaven. Angel tattoos can range from the angels themselves to just the wings, and they can often have additional tattoo designs in or around them.

If you’re looking for a Christian tattoo, then you will find that there are quite a few designs to choose from to make the tattoo both meaningful and nice looking. The two most popular Christian tattoos are of the cross and of Jesus. These images obviously have deep meanings in the Christian faith, so it’s pretty obvious what they mean when you see people who have them. Other popular religious tattoos include anchors, which represent eternal life, and doves, which are seen by many as representing the Holy Spirit.

The most popular Buddhist tattoos would be the bodhi tree, which is seen as one of the most meaningful symbols in the religion. Siddartha, who founded Buddhism, was under a bodhi tree praying when he is said to have first communicated with God. The tree has a whole host of meanings, including enlightenment, strength, and even life itself. Because the bodhi tree has so many great meanings, plenty of non-Buddhists get this tattoo and use one or more of the non-religious meanings.
