Religioustattoos.net - Religious tattoos gallery

At first glance one would think that religious fervour and the love for tattoos have not much in common, but checking out Religioustattoos.net will prove you wrong right away. Mainly oriented to Christian and Jewish iconography and signs, the vast collections of photos is a good way to choose what you want to have tattooed, and of course the variety of designs is much more ample than what you local tattoo artist can probably display. On top of this, the site is built upon very solid beliefs, so it carries a long explanatory section on what the bible has to say in regard to tattoos, so you can make an informed choice on the matter, plus it features an extensive and interesting history of tattoo, so you get to learn something about it while at the process of choosing the design that best portrays your faith.

"Who says tattoos are sacrilegious? Does the bible? Definitely not! So why do many good Christians condemn us, those who have tattoos or who want to get tattooed? Unfortunately, I think many Christians do not fully understand the saving grace that was offered to us through the humanity, death, and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. As devout, tattooed Christians, it is incumbent upon us to educate other Christians about: The context of Leviticus 19:28, The Old law and the New Law established by Christ and how Leviticus 19:28 relates to the New Law, The context for 1 Corinthians 6:19 Your body as a Temple, Certain imagery in the Bible, Our duty to evangelize.



We also need to prove to our critics that our faith is based on more than just tattoos; it is supported by good works as well. And we must pray as often as possible that divisive but trivial issues (such as body art) are cast aside in favour of more pressing problems: Christian unity, the onslaught of relativism, and difficulties in evangelization..."

Religioustattoos.net is up to become the next killerstartup because on one side it deals with a very specific issue that can engage and interest a closely targeted audience, and also because it can build up as an archive and reservoir of information of relevance for the social sciences, like anthropology, history of religions or sociology.

Each picture includes a thank you note to the person that has submitted the picture, plus it mentions the tattoo artist responsible for the design and work, however it does not link you to the tattoo artist's page or gives you any information on how to get in touch with it, which is a real shame in so as much as some of the pictures are truly impressive and artistic, and deserve to get some forwards, especially taking into account that the webmaster is not a tattoo artist, and therefore he will not stimulate negative competition. Will the people at Religioustattoos.net reconsider this and give a hand to its fellow religious tattoo artists?
