What a praying hands and rosary tattoo means
Praying hands stand for faith, gratitude and hope; the rosary for devotion and prayer. Together they are a statement of faith, and are often worn in memory of a loved one, with a name or dates added underneath.

Where to put it
Upright and narrow: the forearm, the upper arm, the calf or the chest. Leave space beneath if you want to add a name or date later.
Tips for the design
- Let the rosary hang from the hands with the cross at the bottom.
- Chicano style uses smooth grey shading with a single needle: ask an artist who specialises in it.
- Add lettering separately with the font generator so the spelling is exact.
