Praying Hands Tattoo – Origins and Variations
Praying Hands - Sketched by Albrecht Durer
One of the most recognizable and popular tattoo is the “Praying Hands” or its alternate name “Hands of the Apostle”.
This design is especially popular among those who wanted a religious symbol attached to their bodies and probably show their deep longing for God within their hearts. However many do not know that the original work was done just over 500 years ago.
