It seems that religious tattoos are on the increase, with more and more people choosing to have a cross or another religious symbol engraved on their body. But what do you make of them? Are they a good way for people to express their faith?
Steve Lewis runs his business, Forgiven Tattoo on the Wybourn Estate in Sheffield. The tattoo shop famous for religious tattoo design, which is of great important to give people faith. It can save a lot of people, by the religious tattoo and his local church.
He turned his life around after facing up to issues of violence and drugs with the help of his family and his local church - Hope City Church on Bernard Road. Steve found God and beat the addiction - he's now been clean for around three years.
Steve came on to Radio Sheffield's Sunday Breakfast programme and told Dean and Sarah how many of his clients head straight for his tattoo brochure on religious images.
He has many religious tattoos on his own body, including the word "Jesus" on the side of his head and across his throat. There are also verses from the Bible on his arms.
Steve had been into tattoos for many years, but the additions made after finding God are special. He says they are important, "because of my background and the things I've come from... it's a bit of a reminder for me."
Each one has a tattoo has its meanings, just as Steve, after experience these things, he had more faith to himself and become more confident. Of course, pay attention that the environment must be clean, can not have the drug and some danger goods like this. Then it can be responsible to the customer and save more people. What’s more, the high quality of tattoo machine kits are essential, sterile, and dispose tattoo needles and tattoo gloves as well as tattoo ink. This can avoid the injection from one to another.
According to Steve, there's still an anti-tattoo attitude in the church and it "fuels" him to change that perception. "A lot of people in the church look down on it and still stereotype tattoos."
No matter what the peoples reflect, the religious tattoo is some help to them. If you do not like the popular tattoo designs, you want to change yourself, and make you more confidence, may be the religious tattoo is a good choice.
