Tattoo Question

[ErrorCMDR]

As my tattoos tell the story of my life I would like to add a new one to my collection, I want to get the Coat of arms of the Catholic Church ie. Vatican Coat of arms or flag.
The problem is I can not find a good pic of it.
If you find one online could you please post the link

God Bless

I just did a Google image search for “Vatican Crest.” images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&safe=active&rls=ig&um=1&q=vatican+crest&sa=N&start=0&ndsp=20

Try looking around the Vatican’s home page here vatican.va/phome_en.htm

Note:

“Crest” properly means what is on the top (crest) of the helmet, not the shield or entire heraldic achievement (mistakenly called “coat of arms”).

When it comes to tattoos, better to be precise. Not so easy to fix a “mestake”!

Do you mean that it isn’t meant to be called a Coat of Arms?

I’m getting my family’s Coat of Arms on my back soon because I am proud of my heritage so I support you in your desire to have a tattoo show your faith.

I am planning on getting another tattoo of some form to “fly the flag” if you like. I was thinking possibly St Michael fighting Satan or something like that. Any thoughts?

I believe that “Coat of Arms” (according to heralds) was the shield–“arms”–embroidered or otherwise displayed, on a tabard (frequently called “coat”), worn by the servants of the armiger (person who actually bore the arms in question).

Another tidbit–the arms of a religious–especially of an abbot or abbess–is displayed surrounded by a Rosary.

Check out www.religioustattoos.net. There are lots of beautiful tattoos there, mostly Catholic in character.

I have also been trying to select a religious tattoo. My mom, who is a tattoo artist, will be in town in July and I want her do do it then. I want it to be over my heart, but I’m not entirely sure what I should get. I’ve downloaded a bunch of images from the above website and will keep you updated
