Do your tattoos relate to your beliefs?
(Inked's Q set me wondering...)

Oh yes!!!
Mine is a tattoo of a grey dove about to land on the blade of a sword.
The sword has St. Michael the Archangel engraved in it.
This is from several things.
Ephesians 6
Speaking about the Armor of God it says to take up the "sword of the spirit, which is the word of God".
Matthew
When Jesus is baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist the "Holy Spirit came and rested on his shoulder in the form of a dove".
The last is from a personna name I chose while in a middle ages re-enactment group of Joan Coleman.
Joan is the feminine form of the name John which derives from the term "blessed one".
Coleman, from Irish Gaelic, comes from the word Colm meaning dove.
Roughly the name translates to "Blessed Dove".
Peace and blessings to you.

One of mine is related to my beliefs but the others just have meanings of things that happened throughout my life

LORD OF LORDs
Yep, now don't ya'll go Overboard in this Thing---Life is a Balance--

Yes. I went to pains to ensure that my tattoos would be unique to me. The beliefs aren't religious though, rather more philosophical in a broad sense.

Sorry, never got one. If I did, It would have to be related to what I believe. I mean what would be the use of getting a tattoo anyway if it didn't mean something to you?

A friend of mine's relate to his beliefs in a very deep, meaningful way. Unfortunately, I can't say anymore about them. It's not my place to do so.

The first one I got was the Anheuser-Bush logo and at the time I certainly believed in drinking beer.
