Catholic Tattoos

[Este Corazon]

Hey All this is my first topic....and by the title, some may think I am rebellious, which I am, but in a good way, promise.

Anyways, I already have one tattoo, but I am thinking about getting another one. I kinda want to get my favorite bible verse, Mt. 6: 21. I discovered the verse when I went to Peru with the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara. I love the verse, but I don't know how I would get it done. Maybe in Latin maybe in Spanish.


Like I said, I have one already. Does anyone have any that they have or will be getting?

Paz,
M

Maybe at some point. I'd like to get a tattoo of Our Lady of Guadalupe on my back.

I had a dream that I once got the Sacred Heart of Jesus tattoed on my back shoulder blade.

I'm likely to never get one, but if I did, it would probably be a chiro (I know, I spelled it wrong).

chi rho (some people spell it chi ro, but I think "rho" is the proper spelling)

I would like to get a Celtic knot with my childrens and husband's names around it... but I'm too big of a chicken to ever go get it done.

Ahhh, thank you! I was too lazy to look it up.

My son got a beautiful celtic cross on his upper arm on his first liberty in the Navy. I hadn't let him get one before he went in, and he wasn't 18 until after he went off to bootcamp. What is it with sailors and tattoos? Anyway, I didn't want him to get one, but at least he had it done by a good artist, and picked a good subject. Just remember that you can't judge a tattoo artist by the tats on them because someone else did them. See ones they have done before picking them. Bad art, permanently done on your body, isn't fun, and laser removal is painful.

PM Mike from Seven Sorrows. He is an expert on Catholic tattoos if you ask me!

I've wanted to get a tattoo of the Immaculate Heart over my heart for a while. I looked into it a few years ago, but it was too much money.

Oh, Bienvenidos a Phatmass, Este Corazon!

I have rosary beads tattooed on my leg right above the ankle bone. I got it when I completed RCIA and was received into the church.

[HisChildForever]

I would never get a tattoo, but if for some reason I ever changed my mind, it would probably be the Jesus fish or the Sacred Heart.

[Resurrexi]

I probably wouldn't ever get a tatoo. But if I did, I might get one that said "I am a Catholic, in the event of an emergency, call/txt a priest"

One of my friends got: משפת (means verdict or judgment, I think. StColette can correct me if I'm wrong )tattooed on her side just above the rib cage. She isn't Catholic, though.

I don't know what I'd get for a tattoo - thus why I haven't gotten one yet.

It might come as a surprise to some of you that I don't have any tattoos. I might get one later, but probably not.

My roommate keeps wanting me to get a pirate ship tattooed on my stomach.

I want one....

ever since Knightec and I were in school dating our "theme" was always
[b][color="#000080"]Faith[/color] - [color="#2e8b57"]Hope[/color] - [color="#ff0000"]Love[/color][/b] So I would want a anchor, heart, and cross on top of each other .......then around the tat I would want Knightec's name and all of the kids around it.

But....knightec does not want me to get one

He got one after RCIA and then he put my name on it a year later.

I have hands praying the Rosary on one of my forearms, and A chalice with the host stamped with the Chi Rho on the other. Im probably going to get the Immaculate Heart on my chest in a few years.
