Default Religious Symbols are Popular Tattoos

Yes, of course it is very popular for some religious believer to have the god or other giant person on their body. To express their respect to their idols.

Here are some popular religious symbols tattoo designs and portable tattoo kits for your reference .

The tattoos are great, but I can't stop thinking how most people who wear them gives a s&!t about others. I guess itbecame a pagan fanatism...

I'm not sure exactly what you are saying, but tattoos have been around far longer than christianity!

I'm talking about the christian tattoos. Many people wear them as if they're buying their place in heaven, but they just don't care about the important things like helping others...

Yeah, unfortunately this is true for many. I hate religious bashing but I even get offended by the "weekend warriors" who are only religious on weekends . Don't get me wrong, I am far from christian, but I do believe in religious diversity and I stick up for everybody ! I think, and it's just my opinion, but a tattoo should represent what is deep inside you. I wouldn't run out and get something "just because" ya know?

I have to say that in fact, I am a... let's say a believer of god. But what I don't believe is in church as the institution it is today. I see it taking care of so many unimportant things, I think it's corrupted and completely deviated from the original idea in Christ times.

About the "just because" tattoos I think every semi-clever person would agree with you. The thing is that tattoos are many times used as fashion accesories and people end up getting whatever is fancy...

I agree 200% about some people getting whatever is fancy, unfortunately (or is it unfortunate?) many of these tattoos end up getting covered up downline. I question how unfortunate this is because I get a lot of work doing cover-ups !!!
OMG this could become a conversation for sure ! Keep in mind I am not a Christian, but I have done extensive study on the subject. In reading what excerpts I have been able to from the gospels you are 100% correct. Christianity was not originally designed to be the institution it has become. I truly think it was originally a path to spirituality and personal enlightenment, then it was severely tainted by those hungry for power. That being said I cannot deny the underlying message within Christianity is wholesome and sound, one simply needs to read into it and ignore the business end of the church . I also cannot fault those who get religious tattoos, even if they are weekend warriors or like you said, don't give a sh*t about others because if deep down inside that piece has spiritual meaning to them, by wearing it all the time it may serve as a reminder of what does matter and perhaps even help them find their personal unity with others. I grew up with the Lakota Sioux and have my own spirituality. I wear a medicine bag (a leather pouch with trinkets I've picked up over the years) and it is much the same. It reminds me of who I am, who I want to be, and what I stand for. When I find myself at whits end I grasp my medicine bag to recall what really matters. A tattoo just might have the same affect on someone else.
