Popular Christian Tattoo Designs

Scared hearts, the Virgin Mary, 3D Jesus Christs wearing a crown of thorns… These are just a handful of the popular choices you can choose from when creating your very own Christian tattoo.

Best Christian Tattoo Placement

Whether you’re getting a rosary, a cross, or a piece of scripture tattooed on you, placement really depends of the styles, design, and size of the piece your want.

Cross tattoos can look great when centered on larger body parts like your chest or back. Similarly, people often choose to get angel wings on their shoulder blades.

Obviously, smaller Christian tattoo designs, like minimalist doves, line work crosses, or fine line Christian fish outlines can all be shrunken down easily and placed virtually anywhere on your skin.

Just make sure you put a bit of time and effort into picking the right placement for your tattoo. Don’t be scared to talk to your tattoo artist about it to see if they have any professional advice about what does and doesn’t look good.

Women’s Christian Tattoo Ideas

Most people think of Christian tattoos as daily reminders of their faith and as visual testaments to God.

Women often choose softer tattoo designs, styles, and pieces, such as watercolor Virgin Marys, realism angels, minimalist crosses, dotwork doves, rosaries, or other signs of peace, love, and devotion to the Almighty Lord.

Men’s Christian Tattoo Ideas

Men can choose from any type of Christian tattoo design they feel is relevant to their own personal faith. However, men often choose darker, bolder tattoo styles, like black and grey or Americana, which use less color, for their Christian tattoos.

In terms of tattoo designs, men can choose to include words or themes from the bible, scripture, crosses, sacred hearts, rosary.

Whatever you choose, just make sure to talk to your tattoo artist about helping you design a Christian tattoo that’s either more masculine or feminine to suit your specific tastes.
