Islam Tattoo Photo #20543

Tattoos with Islamic themes most often feature Arabic calligraphy, geometric patterns, and symbols drawn from Middle Eastern art and architecture. The relationship between tattoos and Islam is complex since traditional Islamic teaching generally discourages permanent body modification, but interest in Arabic-script tattoos and Islamic geometric art continues to grow worldwide.

Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.

The chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
