Religious Tattoos at the Sanctuary of Loreto |
 The inhabitants of the Appennine mountains in Marche (central Italy), especially the men, often used to have tattoos on their forearms near their wrists. Until a few decades ago it was common to see farmers in the fields with their sleeves rolled up to show bluish tattoos: a figure, a motto, a cross, the symbols of the Passion with the sun, the moon and the Holy Spirit, one or two pierced hearts, sometimes below a cross on top of a globe, a star and so on.
