Mother of god Tattoo Photo #8164

The image of the Mother of God, also known as the Virgin Mary or Theotokos, is one of the most enduring religious icons in the world. Its presence in body art draws from centuries of devotional painting, folk tradition, and, in some contexts, the coded visual language of the incarcerated.

Fine-line tattoos use a single thin needle to create delicate, precise designs with minimal line weight. The result is a subtle, almost sketch-like quality that suits detailed small-scale work.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
