A Compendium of Information and Images Of and Related to Christian Art and Iconography
Created for the express purpose of sharing images, ideas, and words from early and medieval Christianity to inspire and influence the eventual creation of beautiful tattoo work. I hope this webpage helps you understand some of the ideas that move and ground me.
While many of these ideas floated around in my mind for years, the vast majority of images shared here are taken from several sources I've discovered in recent times. The aforementioned sources follow:
