Faith work is a big part of the portfolio

In Laredo, religious tattoos are some of the most requested pieces, and they are among the most frequent in this portfolio: Jesus with the crown of thorns, angels in battle, cherubs, Saint Michael, rosaries wrapped around praying hands, and sacred hearts.

Realism or bold and simple

Religious pieces can be done in detailed black and grey realism, full color, or in a simpler bold style. Small crosses and rosaries make good first tattoos; portraits and angels work best with some size to them.

Combining pieces

Many clients build religious sleeves over time, with a portrait as the focal point and clouds, light, roses and scripture tying it together.
