40 Tetelestai Tattoo Designs For Men – It Is Finished Ink Ideas

“It is finished.” This was the sentiment uttered by Jesus Christ as he hung on the cross, according to one version of the Crucifixion story

The Greek version for this expression is “Tetelestai,” but while historians have debated its exact translation for centuries, there is no denying the profound depth and power of its meaning.

“It is finished.” “Paid in full.” It speaks of responsibilities owned, of debts fulfilled, and of purpose found.

“Tetelestai” describes the perfect beauty of a life lived as it was meant to be, and has come to represent a strong and unyielding affirmation. People have used this word to assert their own identity for centuries. Tetelestai tattoos have risen to popularity as a relevant way of expressing strength, individuality, respect, and honor. They are usually stark and vivid in their imagery, but they still incorporate a wide range of individual styles.

These tattoos may include common Arabic letters, or the Greek alphabet. Some include the cross, or the crucifix, while others use more esoteric Christian imagery. They all share several things in common, however: they express a high regard for tradition, and an acknowledgement of one’s place in the world, while asserting the presence of strength and virtue; enough to get one through the darkest hours of the night.
