I’m thinking of getting a rosary tattoo. Does anyone else have a religious tattoo?
 
Yep… St. Benedict medal… there’s a pic of it on another tattoo forum around here

I would love to get one (I already have a small fairy:rolleyes). However, I thought it was a sin to get a tattoo?

Only in the sense that it is a sin to wear cotton and rayon or eat bacon… shave…
 
I’d quite like to get a rosary tattoo around my ankle one day, when I have money. I also want a tattoo of an angel holding a little lamb 🙂
 
I have a celtic knot which symbolises the Trinity. I’d love a Sacred Heart but my husband is really against more ink. :o
 
The opinion on tattoos is a varied as the parishioners in any Church. Not only age differences but tastes. I was always taught any disfigurement to the body was a sin. Yet, my mom and sister both had pierced ears. Dad only said, “That’s the way it is son.” Being young I just accepted this logic. Now that I am older 39 the thought of some random tattoo, “NO WAY”. The thought of a Christian Tatoo… well, it has my curiosity. I would love to see the celtic knot. Being half Irish it would seem to fit. I have seen crosses tattooed on wrists. One tattoo of Noahs ark but this had allot of Masonic figures that I knew nothing of, interesting none the less. Two half crosses on the palm of hands, when the wearer prayed they joined and made the ‘whole’ cross.
I will have to search the Catechism and get the opinion of that guide to determine first if they see it sinful, or not.
 
I don’t have any religious tattoos.

Yet.

But I have an appointment this coming Saturday to get the back of the Miraculous Medal inked on my right shoulder. In the future, I plan to get the front on my left shoulder as well. The Miraculous Medal and Mary had such a huge part in my conversion it made me want to wear the Medal even when I’m not wearing the Medal, know what I mean?

I like the concept of a Rosary tattoo, but I’ve yet to see one that I really like. Too many of them don’t have the proper number of beads, or they just end up taking up so much space that it doesn’t look good.

Don’t let that dissuade you though, that’s just my personal preference (although please make sure to get the proper number of beads in your tattoo!).
 
i don’t have one but i want one but anyway… there was this one time that I saw this guy with Our Lady of Guadalupe tatooed on his his back I think.
 
I’m toying with the idea of getting “Totus Tuus” tattooed on the inside of my left arm. And maybe a crucifix on my right forearm.

Funny thing - the guy who did the tattoo loved it so much. He raved about it the whole time he was tattooing me. When he finished, he knocked $50 off the price he originally quoted me because he enjoyed doing it so much. So it only set me back $200.
