Meaning & symbolism of Saint George tattoos
Symbolism & Cultural Heritage
Saint George, the knight who slew the dragon, stands for courage, protection and the victory of good over evil. He is the patron saint of England and of soldiers, and a central figure in Brazil, where São Jorge is venerated by Catholics and, as Ogum, the warrior orixá, in Umbanda and Candomblé. The tattoo usually shows him on horseback with his lance and the dragon at his feet and, in the Brazilian tradition, the moon behind him.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Saint George tattoo symbolize?
Courage, protection and victory over adversity. People choose it to ask for protection on hard roads, as a sign of devotion, or to carry a warrior's strength. In Brazil it is also tied to Ogum, the warrior orixá, and to the saint's day on April 23.
Why is São Jorge also Ogum?
In Brazil, Afro-Brazilian religions such as Umbanda and Candomblé associated São Jorge with Ogum, the orixá of war, iron and the roads, a blending known as syncretism. Both are seen as protectors who open the way, so the same image carries a meaning for Catholic and Afro-Brazilian devotees.
Where should I place a Saint George tattoo?
Larger scenes with the horse and dragon suit the upper arm, calf, chest or back. The sword of Saint George and smaller portraits work well on the forearm, shoulder blade or ribs.
