A cross to bare: Tattoos and tradition in Jerusalem


Blending modern technology with tradition, the Razzouk family uses the Internet to draw clients to their business in a place that is sacred to Christians, Jews and Muslims. It was a black and red Jerusalem cross, made up of one central cross and four smaller ones, adorned with palm trees and the number 2017, representing his pilgrimage and the year his mother died. Tattoo artist Wassim Razzouk completes a tattoo on a customer’s arm at his studio in Jerusalem's Old City, Nov 27, 2017. ReutersThe Razzouks began their craft in Egypt, where fellow Coptic Christians traditionally mark their wrists with a cross. Proprietor Wassim Razzouk, 44, said he resisted going into the family business for many years.
