There’s no doubt that in the world, there’s a strong controversy surrounding the topic of religious tattoos in Christianity. On one hand, there are those who consider them a true act of love and devotion to their beliefs, but on the other hand, others say it’s contradictory to the same gospel.
And it’s true that today, millions of people around the world have tattoos, which they use to show the world their personal tastes or simply to represent a date, a name, a person, and/or, of course, a deity.
However, there are religions that derive from Christianity that view these practices as a “strong sin” because they modify the human body, which the Sacred Scriptures refer to as the temple of God.
A clear example is the book of Leviticus, in its verse 19:28, regardless of the version of the Bible used by these religions, states the following:
“Do not make any cuts on your body for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.”
It’s there where the crux of the matter lies with regard to the controversy, as many people wonder if it would be or not correct to modify God’s body with religious images, such as the cross, a Bible, a representation of Christ, the Virgin of Guadalupe, etc.
However, the people who ultimately decide to get a religious tattoo, usually justify it by saying that what Leviticus says is that you shouldn’t get tattoos on your skin because of the dead or pagan things, but not about the same religion.
The most popular christianity tattoos in Mexico
As with any style of tattoos, religious ones are no different, as there are countless ideas to choose from when getting one, but at the same time, there are many specific designs that have become popular.
Among the most popular religious tattoos that people tend to get are those related to the Virgin of Guadalupe or the Virgin of Juquila, which are the two most popular in the country.
Other tattoos that are often requested in “tattoo shops” are those related to christianity, mainly just before his crucifixion, that is, with the crown of thorns on his head and looking up to the sky.
There are also others, such as black crosses, some hands holding a rosary or the Holy Bible, as well as people who decide to get angels, verses or entire chapters, and even specific moments like The Last Supper.

- Hello everyone! My name is Jade Blunt, and I'm a passionate tattoo enthusiast. Let me share a bit about my life and my journey in the world of ink and skin.
Ever since I was a child, I've been drawn to art and creativity in all its forms. However, it was when I turned 18 that I discovered my true passion: tattoos. I remember my first tattoo, a small design on my wrist that marked the beginning of an adventure that would change my life forever.
As my love for tattoos grew, so did my desire to learn more about this fascinating art. I started researching, talking to talented tattoo artists, and immersing myself in the history and culture of tattoos. Every tattoo tells a story, and I wanted to be a part of that narrative.
Over time, I decided to share my passion with the world through my blog, "Tattoo Gun Machine." In this space, I strive to provide valuable information about tattoos, from tips for tattooed skin care to stories of innovative tattoo artists and inspiring designs. My goal is to educate and inspire those who share my love for tattoos, as well as to demystify some of the stigmas surrounding this art form.
My blog has become a corner of the web where the tattoo-loving community can connect, share ideas, and explore new trends. I've also had the privilege of interviewing some of the most talented tattoo artists in the world, who share their unique experiences and knowledge within my pages.
But my journey in the world of tattoos doesn't stop here. I'm always on the lookout for new inspiration and challenges. I dream of one day opening my own tattoo studio, where I can bring my own designs to life and continue contributing to this form of artistic expression.
So, if you share my passion for tattoos or are simply interested in learning more about this exciting world, I invite you to join me on my journey at "Tattoo Gun Machine." Together, we can explore the art, culture, and beauty of tattoos as we continue to ink our stories onto the canvas of life. I'll see you on my blog!
