Common imagery includes crosses, crucifixes, doves, fish (ichthys), angels, praying hands, rosaries, sacred hearts, and depictions of Christ or saints. Scripture verses and religious phrases also appear frequently.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.
