Cross tattoos are one of the most popular tattoos being done today. There are variations of this cross like the Celtic and many tribal styles along with the Gothic cross. Doing your homework on the right cross tattoo for you is worth reading a book on them to find just the right style.
The Celtic cross is among the best known Irish symbols. There are at least 60 different Celtic crosses across Ireland, they were constructed up to the 12th century. Most of them served as boundaries where parishes intersected. Many of them have intricate carvings on them that would make for a beautiful tattoo design.
Christians use the cross as synonymous with Christ dying for our sins. Unlike the Jewish faith who are not allowed to get tattoos Christians are allowed to get them. The classic cross is the Latin cross or crux ordinaria, the vertical post represents the divine and the horizontal represents the world. The intersection is the union of both.
Tribal cross tattoos may also be Celtic in origin. Some of them may have a shamrock pattern added. Other additions can be praying hands, dragons and angel wings. Daggers, swords and skulls are also added.
Gothic or ornamental crosses provide the Latin cross tattoos and then adorned with intricate scrolling or sometimes they may have a German look about them. The cross can have the addition of barbed wire or swords and daggers.
Not all tattoos are religious in nature, a number of them represent ancient cultures. They are worn by men and women on the shoulders, back and forearms. Women tend to like them on their ankles or lower backs. Whatever your choice make sure you examine pictures of them first as they are permanent. Do your research and examine Johnny Karp’s Cross Tattoos books at your local bookstore.
