Today, 27th-generation tattoo artist Wassim Razzouk carries on his family’s legacy of creating sacred art through tattoo art. In this episode of Creating Sacred Beauty, we learn about the fascinating history of this centuries-old artform and how it has evolved into the beloved Holy Land staple it is today. We recognize that the subject of tattoos as a form of art can be controversial. However, the Razzouk family, who have been tattooing for over 700 years, offer a powerful perspective rooted in faith and tradition. What began as a means of identifying members of the Coptic Christian community has evolved into a meaningful art form—one that expresses a person’s belief, heritage, and spiritual journey. We felt their story was both compelling and deeply appropriate for inclusion in this series.   Family Theater Productions makes Emmy, Gabriel, and Christopher Award-winning stories that unlock hearts to the possibilities of love, family, and faith.
