The Ramnamis tattoo the name of a deity on their bodies

The Ramnamis are a group of devotees from the state of Chhattisgarh who display their devotion in a very particular way. Excluded from Hindu places of worship due to their disadvantaged social status, they inscribe the name of Rāma on their entire bodies. This religious practice emerged at the end of the 19th century but is now tending to disappear.
