Please don’t comment just to say you have no idea what the signs are, or to say you’re not Catholic, or that the only sign is the cross. Thanks all who answer!

Tota pulchra es Maria

“Tota pulchra es” is an old Catholic prayer, written in the fourth century AD. It is one of the five antiphons for the psalms of Second Vespers for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. The title means “You are completely beautiful” (referring to the Virgin Mary). It speaks of her immaculate conception. It takes some text from the deuterocanonical book of Judith, and other text from Song of Songs. Tota pulchra es, Maria. Et macula originalis non est in te. Tu gloria Ierusalem. Tu laetitia Israel. Tu honorificentia populi nostri. Tu advocata peccatorum. O Maria. Virgo prudentissima. Mater clementissima. Ora pro nobis. Intercede pro nobis ad Dominum Iesum Christum. In conceptione tua, Immaculata fuisti. Ora pro nobis Patrem cuius Filium peperisti. Domina, protege orationem meam. Et clamor meus ad te veniat. Amen.

Well I was asked this question alot recently and I always answer that some other religion actually abide by them. But I just want to be more sure then I am now.
So tell me, is it a sin to permently tattoo our bodies in the Roman Catholic religion?
