12 Bible Verse Tattoos That Express Scripture in Creative Ways (PHOTOS)
Many show their love of Scripture by tattooing Bible verses on their bodies (to the chagrin of those who point to Leviticus 19:28 as instruction not to). Here are 12 creative Bible verse tattoos, ranging from a citation with a simple design, up to verses inscribed in their entirety.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. (ESV)
