Artwork isn’t too flash. I think understand what the wearer is trying to say, but it’s biblically inaccurate. Fail.

personally i’ve always been bothered by the caucasian versions of jesus
granted i understand that that is how he’s been portrayed in every recognizable image of him
this is a bit different, not sure what they were going for though, but the quality is questionable

Those are some well manicured eyebrows you’ve got there Mr. Jesus.

for the most part i don’t like the tattoo because i fear one day maybe this person will shun their religion and not want this tattoo anymore. religious tattoos, band tattoos and partner tattoos should never exist in my opinion.

Eh… As a Christian myself, I’m sad when I see so many lame Christian tattoos.
Good idea behind it, though. Poor execution.

for those who are complaining about the caucasian jesus . id like to mention that theoreticaly jesus was only a jew 33 years out of eternity…granted this is meant to be a picture of him in the 33rd year but its still a neat thought.

I think its him talking to Jesus and not the other way around, like “Jesus, bear with me until I’m made in your image” that makes the most sense to me rather than Jesus saying that. But eh who knows right.

Regardless of whether you want your Jesus to be thought of as a dark-skinned Jew, a light-skinned Jew, a whitey-white guy , or Kanye West…this work was done by a non-artist. Period.
It could have been a beautiful portrait.
The eyes, the brow, the nose (oh my, the NOSE) make me sad.
…and when I read it, the first thing I thought was “who’s Jim?”

technically Jesus was a Sephardic Jew…Jews:”God’s Chosen People”…this may be closer to how he really appeared,and some dont like to see Jesus as a Blonde Blue Eyed Germanic/Wasp,that is the usual depiction

re: nature223
Jesus was certainly a Jew, but not a Sephardic Jew. These are Jews who are descended from the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain).

I’m sure Sephardic Jews had the same correct human anatomy that resulted in decent shading and depth as well as workable eyes and nose.
It’s the execution that is sad (the workmanship, that is).

(sorry double post) And you know what? Maybe an ugly Jesus tattoo is better than one where he’s a good-looking guy. All this silly arguing over “what did he/should he look like” is one good reason to forbid images.
I read the sentence as a prayer from the wearer to Jesus to be [re]made in his image, not as a statement BY Jesus. Btw, whoever this belongs to might consider submitting it to the Religious Tattoos site. http://www.religioustattoos.net/

oh, wow…
yeah, until youre made in the big G’s image?
wasn’t that done when men were created? huh… he’s just a demon trying to go legit. it’s his quest.
and who know’s what jesus looked like? i’m guessing half and half. half middle-eastern cuz of mary, but half black because God is really just Samuel L. Jackson.

its the wrong usage of bear. bear is a rawr rawr animal. the correct word is bare. it’s a homophone.

Yes, “bear” and “bare” are homophones, but “bear” is the correct word to use in this context. Check your dictionary.
