Santería, also known as Lucumí or Regla de Ocha, is a syncretic Afro-Caribbean religion. While body art traditions vary among diverse cultural practices within Santería, some followers may incorporate religious symbols, orichá (deities) representations, or spiritual markings through tattoos or body piercing as a sign of dedication, protection, or personal devotion. It should be noted that religious practices and rituals may vary within the Santería religion.
