Religious Tattoos - As long as people have been marking and modifying their physical appearance, there has been a strong spiritual element to the practice of body art and body modification. Even before the rise of organized religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam in the West and Buddhism & Hinduism in the East, with their widely recognized symbols of religious faith and devotion, tattoos often clearly were intended to serve a purpose beyond simple expressions of decoration and identification. Many early tattoos clearly had a cosmic connection and wove early man into the fabric of the larger universe. See the complete Religious Tattoos page here
Nautical tattooing was rich with designs that had a highly symbolic nature and they were tattoos that were designed to function as specifically amulets and talismans, in other words, they were tattoos rendered for protection. Having the words "Hold Fast" tattooed on your fingers was in the hope that you would never lose your grip while in the rigging high above deck. Other symbols showed you had crossed the Equator, rounded the Cape Horn or visited the Far East. Another belief was that a religious symbol, such as a cross or a depiction of Jesus Christ tattooed on a sailor's back, might make a man forced to undergo a disciplinary lashing, less likely to be severely punished. A popular tattoo that goes back well over a century, depicts a sailor or a man kneeling before a cross hewn out of solid stone. The cross, and the man's religious belief and faith were meant to last for all time. A man's Christian faith was often referred to as the foundation stone or bedrock upon which a virtuous life was built. This was a carry over from the belief that a house or a building was only as strong as the foundation it was built on. The stone cross became known over time as "The Rock of Ages", or the sailor's cross. See also, Nautical Tattoo Designs Check out some of these nautical tattoo design ideas
