Ideas for Christian Tattoos

Christian Cross Tattoos 

Christian cross tattoos can be very minimalist, a simple wooden cross with no other ornamentation to very elaborate. The more elaborate versions would include Jesus on the cross with all the implements used during the crucifixion along with other added features of worship, such as symbols that might include his mother and or disciples.

Christian Cross Tattoos for Women 

Christian cross tattoos for women would include a cross, but you will want to add some feminine touches. It depends on your faith and your feeling about the presentation of Christian cross tattoos. Doves are always a nice touch with the cross, for we know that the dove represents peace and who Jesus Christ is also known as; The Prince of Peace.

Celtic Christian Cross Tattoos 

The Celtic Christian cross tattoo is somewhat of an oxymoron. Let’s see if we can clarify this, so you don’t end up with the wrong cross when you request this tattoo. Celtic people were Pagan. However, they created great tattoo art. Eventually, the Celtic cross became a Christian cross through the course of history. If you ask for a Christian cross tattoo, you are specific that you want a Christian cross in Celtic style art.

Christian Quote Tattoos 

Christian quote tattoos and Christian Scripture tattoos really fall into the same category and are pretty similar to the Christian sayings tattoos. Examples for Christian quote tattoos and Christian scripture tattoos would be the famous John 3:16 tattooed in your favorite font. Another popular Christian quote tattoo is the verse from Corinthians about Love.

Christian Word Tattoos 

Christian Word Tattoos is a request that seems a little different than the quotes, sayings, or scriptures. It seems to imply only one word. For Christian word tattoos, ideas for one-word tattoos would be; Jesus, Love, Jehovah, Grace, Divinity, Holy, Blessed, Joy, and Peace.

Christian Fish Tattoos 

Christian Fish Tattoos are perhaps one of the most fascinating of the Christian symbolic tattoos. While there is no specific history of the fish symbol, much scholarly work has been done on the subject. Here are a couple of the most likely and favorite meanings; because at times, meetings with Jesus were held in secret because of the danger, He would draw half of the fish in the path, and a follower who knew of the fish would draw the other half while on the trail to find him.

Another version is that Jesus would use the fish symbol and scratch it into objects leading the path to where He could be found. Why He used the fish symbol is uncertain. What is beautiful about the meaning is that to this day, Christians still use the symbol typically to symbolize their Christianity, but it also means “searching for Jesus.” The possibilities of these Christian fish tattoos are as endless as your imagination.

Christian Symbol Tattoos 

Christian symbol tattoos could include the cross, medallions, the fish symbol, Jesus, the heavens, an angel or two, portraits of famous persons from the bible, the bible, or the Ten Commandments tablet. This list is by no means exhaustive, just some ideas.

Christian Tattoos for Girls 

Christian tattoos for girls or a young lady could include just about anything. Some suggestions for a young woman would be a verse, trendy nowadays that is meaningful to you, taken from the bible. You may want to use the words of Jesus Himself or one of his disciples. If you want imagery, then angels are very feminine; they are messengers sent from God just as Jesus was and will be again.

Christian Sleeve Tattoos 

Christian sleeve tattoos can be absolutely stunning. Like most sleeve tattoos, they are most beautiful when they tell a story. What story do you want to know about Christ? These would be ideal for your Christian sleeve tattoos. Some examples; the last supper, throwing the money changers out of the temple, on His way to the crucifixion, emerging from the cave after the crucifixion, Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethlehem….you get the idea. You could use one of these ideas or use several to create his life, including his time as a carpenter.

Jesus Tattoos

Christian Sayings Tattoos 

Christian Sayings Tattoos are created using the font of your choice. If you’re looking for actual sayings, it depends on whether you’re looking for something specific or you want to stay with the more well-known. All Christians who study the bible know there is a passage for every emotion. There is even a section of Ruth dedicated to describing the birthdate of every woman. If you do not have a guide for sayings that direct you toward a particular emotion, ask your friends or church for this reference to those passages. Then choose the one that most describes what you are feeling and then pick the appropriate font for the right look for Christian sayings tattoos.

Coloring & Placement

The coloring of Christian tattoos is entirely dependent on what type of Christian tattoo design you decide upon. If you choose any of the images, definitely go with color; simply outlining them in black would not do them justice. One exception may be a simple minimalist cross with some shading work in all black. Other images will be brown, blues, yellows, gold, red, tan, green, white, and black. For lettering, go with darker ink color for easy reading using dark blue, green, purple, or black.

The placement of Christian tattoos again depends on the size. The lettering wears well on the back for long verses, on the neck for shorter verses, and on the foot and hand for smaller Christian tattoos for meaning.
