#8: Hands Praying Tattoo
St. Patrick's Day isn't all about overindulging in food and booze, it is also about praying for your hangover to go away quickly after the party. After you are done worshiping at the alter of the porcelain god, you will be praying to feel better asap. "Saint Patrick please, deliver my head and my stomach from evil!"

#3: Shamrock Tattoo
"This Sham-rock neck tattoo rocks!" The shamrock has always been associated with the Irish and St. Patricks day.
