Inked Bodies
This woman’s forehead is marked with the Catholic symbol of the Sacred Heart, a heart wrapped in thorns and surrounded by light that conveys divine love, protection, and belonging to a global community. Religious symbols are common in tattooing, especially to commemorate pilgrimages and provide protection.
