The B.C. Catholic has a story by Evan Boudreau of the Catholic Register about a Catholic man who shows his faith visibly with multiple religious-themed tattoos:

While getting a tattoo may not be considered the holiest practice, it shouldn't always be perceived as devilish.
"Religious tattoos are a sign of faith," said Jason Gennaro, of www.religioustattoos.net. "Those who tattoo themselves with Christian symbols of faith are displaying a belief that many try to subjugate and hide."
