“FaithMarks” model Trevor Ledford displays his dragon tattoo.Varinia Maldonado-Fuller carries a tangible reminder of her faith high on her left thigh.
“It’s a personal reminder to me,” the Red Bank resident and practicing Catholic says of the cross tattoo she had inked almost two years ago. “Everybody has their cross to bear [in] their walk with Christ. It’s his will, not mine, that matters. It’s his path, not mine, that I walk.”
Maldonado-Fuller is one of the subjects in “FaithMarks,” an exhibit of photographs of spiritual tattoos that debuts Friday at Lindsay Street Hall.
The exhibit then will be on display next week, during Holy Week, at St. Marks Church in North Chattanooga.
