Cross Tattoos

A cross is one of the most widely recognised shapes in the world; it has connotations to religion, crucifixion, tribalism, spirituality and many other connections. As a result, it is also a very popular form of tattoo.

Contrary to popular opinion, having a cross tattoo does not make you religious. It is merely a statement of your spirituality, as with all tattoos, the design must mean something to us personally. That said, a cross tattoo is often applied to people who wish to demonstrate their faith, or perhaps show that they are aligned to a particular religion.

One very popular form of cross tattoo is the Celtic cross. For centuries many Irish people have moved away from their homeland to seek a better way of life. A Celtic cross tattoo is a visual reminder of where their roots lie. It also serves as a form of identification to others with Celtic heritage. A Celtic cross design will be a rich and vibrant green colour, very similar to an Emerald.

Another form of cross tattoo is the war memorial cross. These are popular among service men that have lost colleagues or loved ones in wars, the cross tattoo serves as a gentle reminder to those that bravely lost their lives defending our nation.

For those of you looking for a unique and original cross tattoo, you may want to consider a tribal cross tattoo. Alluring and powerful, a well designed tribal cross tattoo will be the envy of all those that see it.
