INRI is an acronym for the Latin phrase "Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum." It translates to "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews". This inscription was put on Jesus' cross by Pontius Pilate as a sign of his supposed crime against Roman rule. However, it is also meant to explain Christ’s identity as a king who rules through love and mercy instead of militant force. 

The ribbon adds a touch of personalization to a traditional cross tattoo and is a great area to add color to the design if you choose to.

This stencil gives the cross a carved, textured look for a more rustic feel. It’s great for clients who want something that looks handcrafted and natural.

Become a Tattoo Artist With the Artist Accelerator Program

Having a career in tattooing is not only fulfilling, but it’s also the most stable way to make a living as an artist. However, for decades, the process to become a tattoo artist has been notoriously difficult.

The apprenticeship process requires aspiring tattoo artists to work 50-60 hours a week without pay for 2-4 years. That, combined with the toxic culture of abusing apprentices, makes getting into the industry almost impossible for newcomers.

That’s why we created the Artist Accelerator Program. Our online course provides a simple, structured way of learning to tattoo that has been proven to work by over 7500 successful students, with many of them having gone on to open their own shops all around the world. 

Inside the program, we’ll take you through every step of the tattooing process in 9 clear, easy-to-follow modules and support you along the way within the Tattooing 101 Mastermind online community.

In the Mastermind group, you’ll collaborate with other students, get answers to your questions, and receive personalized video feedback on your artwork and tattoos from professional tattoo artists. With this friendly community of both new and experienced tattoo artists, you’ll never be stuck again. 

When you join the Artist Accelerator Program, you’ll have instant access to the full course and the Mastermind community, as well as our 30-Day Flash Challenge and recorded interviews with tattoo artists from all over the world.
