In 2023, a religious American traditional tattoo is a large and often intricate piece of artwork that is often used to represent a person’s beliefs and identity. The tattoo usually consists of bold lines, thick shading and vibrant colors, and is usually larger in scale than other types of tattoos. The symbols and images used in the tattoo often have an ancestral or spiritual importance. In addition, these tattoos often feature cultural symbols, religious symbols, and other imagery that is specific to the person wearing it.
