People who want to make a public statement about their private beliefs will sometimes use tattoos to do it. Unlike the names of spouses or friends,whose relationship to a person might change, religion often is seen as more lasting and therefore more appropriate for tattoo. Other than a cross, there is probably no other symbol more evocative of Christianity than its founder, Jesus Christ, also called Jesus of Galilee or Jesus of Nazareth. Although no actual portraits of him survive, nor are any purported to have existed, many great artists have rendered him over the centuries. Naturally, details vary widely, but expressions that convey compassion, suffering, and holiness are universal.
