There seems to be only one thing on the mind of people in New York City this week—Pizza Rat. Just kidding, what I’m clearly talking about is Pope Francis’ visit. This will mark only the fourth time that a sitting pope has visited the United States, and considering that there have been 266 popes this is a pretty big deal.

Others have chosen to show their adoration of the Pope in a different way, by getting tattooed. In the gallery below you will see ink dedicated to Pope Francis, John Paul II and a few others.
