Are Masonic tattoos allowed in Freemasonry?
The idea of Masonic tattoos showing unmistakable signs of Masonic symbolism can be a bit of a controversial topic.
As most of the old-timers in the Craft would point out:
“According to your Obligation, you should never print or reveal Masonic symbols in public”.
We tend to disagree on that.
Personally, I don’t have any masonic tattoos (yet), but I think these should be seen as a sign of pride and loyalty to the Fraternity and your Brothers.
It does not disrespect the tradition, nor does it reveal any secrets.
In my humble opinion, it is as harmless as wearing a Masonic T-shirt or maybe even a Masonic ring!
You’ll also find the Square and Compasses symbol engraved outside many Masonic buildings and Lodges worldwide, so how is a tattoo any different?

I’ve had my first tattoo at age 17 and have been recording my life journey with tattoos ever since.
Anyone who has a few, understand the addiction of that gun…
My masonic journey is amazing thus far, so naturally I got my masonic tattoo and proud of it.
I’ve heard that the first recorded Masonic funeral in California was for an unknown man who was only identified as a Brother by his several Masonic tattoos.
Could be. We just published a post about Masonic funerals here if you’d like to learn more about it.
