Also: Jesus wasn't white and this is probably a classical European painter's gay lover.
That tattoo is metal as fuck if you think about it. But if he's truly just a religious nutjob, it's super fucked up. Not only does it nut resemble the jesus guy who would've lived in bethlehem at the time, it's also a picture of when he was tortured before he died. Imagine being a queen fan and tatto a picture of Freddie Mercury on his deathbed with all the tubes and wires and aids ridden face.
No snark here—strangely enough—but can any of the informed infidels here point me to exactly where The Bible says that? ~~I know that in the Jewish faith, you will not be buried in a Jewish cemetery if you have a tattoo.~~ Especially THAT tattoo! 🤣
In any case, say what you will, that's a nice tat.

EDIT: never mind, heathens 🤣 I answered my own question…
From reformjudaism.org : Is it true that you cannot be buried in a Jewish cemetery if you have a tattoo?
In the Bible, we find that respect for the body translates to keeping it free from unnecessary permanent markings: "You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves. I am the Eternal" (Leviticus 19:28). This aversion to tattoos was likely a response to customs of the Israelites' pagan neighbors. After the Holocaust, many in the Jewish community became even more opposed to tattoos, since many Jews had been forcibly tattooed while imprisoned in concentration camps.
While the Jewish community might still be divided over tattoos, the prohibition against burying a tattooed person in a Jewish cemetery is a myth. Caring for the body after death is also a mitzvah, and we don't exclude people in our communities from that care simply because of markings on the skin.
Wait, Leviticus says no incizing permanent markings in your flesh, then Jesus knowingly let's some Roman shmoes mark both hands and both feet. Hypocrite.
