Mother of god Tattoo Photo #8170

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.

Sketch-style tattoos replicate the look of pencil or pen drawings, often including visible construction lines and loose strokes. The intentionally unfinished quality gives the design an artistic, work-in-progress feel.

Neck tattoos are among the most visible placements, making a confident statement. The area suits small, detailed designs behind the ear or bold pieces on the side or back of the neck.
