Frequently asked questions
What does a Virgin Mary tattoo mean?
Faith, protection and a mother's love. Many people choose it as thanks for a favor received, to ask for protection for their family, or to honor a mother or grandmother. A rosary, roses or a date make the design more personal.
What is the difference between Our Lady of Guadalupe and other Virgin Mary designs?
Our Lady of Guadalupe is the Mexican devotion, recognizable by her mantle of stars, the rays around her and the crescent moon under her feet. Our Lady of Aparecida is the Brazilian devotion, shown with a crown and a dark blue mantle. A Madonna is a more general image of Mary, often with praying hands or the child Jesus.
Where is the best placement for a Virgin Mary tattoo?
Many devotees prefer a visible, respected spot such as the upper arm, forearm, chest or back. Larger realistic portraits suit the upper arm, chest and back, while small medallions and fine-line pieces work well on the forearm or wrist.
