Jesus tattoos can also be beacons of hope, a promise of good things to come. People who have witnessed atrocities may get a Jesus tattoo to remind them of the hope they held onto as they endured the hardship. It is unknown as to why someone chooses a Jesus tattoo as a permanent picture on their skin but it is indeed a popular piece. Jesus is seen as an important man in history, and to many He is their savior. In some minds, Jesus tattoos are a tribute to his life and sacrifices. There is beauty in them for the sake of art and pain in them from the needle.
