At first glance Jesus tattoos<\/strong> seem like a simple subject.\u00a0 Most galleries are full of flash of portraits of Jesus and in fact those are probably the most popular Jesus tattoos.<\/p>\n

Ideas for Jesus Tattoos<\/h2>\n

Jesus is usually depicted from the chest up either shaded in black or tattooed in colors, wearing the thorns, representing the time in his life when he was crucified.\u00a0 Generally He is facing up, looking toward his father.\u00a0 There are many variations of these Jesus tattoos<\/span>.<\/p>\n

A fuller body version of these Jesus tattoos illustrates Jesus from the waist up enabling the tattoo artist to include the sacred heart of Jesus in the design.\u00a0 This design also offers the opportunity to add embellishments such as robes, possibly a rosary, and a better view of the hair.<\/p>\n

Another version of Jesus tattoos<\/em> depicts Jesus on the Cross<\/a>.\u00a0 These Jesus tattoos range from the minimalist to the elaborate.\u00a0 Each person has their belief system and therefore will want a different design.\u00a0 Don\u2019t hesitate to discuss this with your tattoo design artist. For instance the crucifixion of Jesus<\/a> as illustrated by the people of the Catholic faith is much more realistic than other Christian illustrations.\u00a0 This is not a negative statement; it is an example of preference and expression which is what body art is all about.\u00a0 This applies to Jesus tattoos as well.<\/p>\n

IXOYE<\/a> has to be one of the most interesting of the Jesus tattoos.\u00a0 Sometimes we see IXOYE included inside the fish symbol<\/a> and sometime we see these letters on the cross.\u00a0 Additionally they are added underneath portraiture Jesus tattoos.\u00a0 The meaning of IXOYE is rather lengthy. Here is the brief version.\u00a0 It is an acronym that represents the letters that spell out the word fish in the Greek language.\u00a0 Each letter has a meaning. The full meaning of all the letters together is something close to this, Jesus, Son of God, Our Savior.\u00a0 This is why we see the letters IXOYE inside the fish symbol. IXOYE is a symbol for fish but also is a symbol for the phrase above; very symbolic and very meaningful.<\/p>\n

\"Jesus<\/a>

Another version of Jesus tattoos are those of Jesus carrying His cross to the site of the crucifixion.\u00a0 These Jesus tattoos are usually inked in medium size and tattooed in shaded black.\u00a0 The detail work rather demands this style.<\/p>\n

Tribal art<\/a> is starting to find its way into Jesus tattoos and some rather beautiful work is out there.\u00a0 One of the most remarkable designs is to spell out the word \u201cJesus\u201d in tribal curvature design. You really have to look to see that the tribal art is actually lettering.\u00a0 Spelling the word \u201cJesus\u201d is becoming a more popular among Jesus tattoos.\u00a0 Celebrity Katy Perry has the word Jesus tattooed on the underside of her wrist.<\/p>\n

Coloring & Placement of Jesus Tattoos<\/h2>\n

Coloring and placement of Jesus tattoos is totally dependent on your choice.\u00a0 The majority of the portraiture Jesus tattoos is placed on the shoulder and is inked in shades of black.\u00a0 Again the detail involved in this type of tattoo almost requires the all black and shading.\u00a0 The shoulder is just the perfect shape.\u00a0 Fish and word Jesus tattoos wear well on the wrist, neck, arm, back, hand, chest, and forearm.<\/p>\n
