A picture taken 30 April shows Beirut based tattoo artist Hussein Jawad, who bears on his back a large tattoo of Imam Ali, the most revered saint in Shiite Islam and cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, inks a tattoo for a client in Beirut. Jawad's tattoo is inspired from a painting by Hassan RouholAmin. The business of tattoo thrived among Muslim Shiites following the bloody war that eventually led to the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Jawad said many young people, mainly Shiites, ask for tattoos of Sayed Nasrallah. Most of them aren't militantsÃĘâŹ"they do it out of love and respect. But more importantly, it's about the feeling of loneliness. "They saw Nasrallah as a father figure, a hero, and a protector. Now that he's gone, they want him with them always. And what better way than a tattoo?", He said.
