Cross Tattoos are extremely popular, no doubt about that. It was believed that the cross symbol originated from the ancient Babylonians of Chaldea. From there, it spread to other countries like Mexico, India, China, parts of Africa and others. It only started being a symbol of Christianity during the time of Constantine, the Roman emperor.
Cross tat is a favorite because of its flexibility and versatility as a design. It can be tattooed on almost any part of the body-as an armband, a lower back piece, on the ankle, shoulders, wrist or upper back area. The design is widely used by Christians to express their religious faith and devotion. It is a symbol of Jesus sacrifice during his crucifixation. It also represents the bible teachings of adhering to your Christian moral beliefs and values.
This theme can also be used as an in loving memory tattoo to commemorate the death of a loved one who passed away. It can either be tattooed alone or can be combined with other elements such as flowers, heart, dove and stars. While some would get this kind of body art for a special meaning, it should also be noted that there are also a lot who choose to have this just because its ornately beautiful. Aside from the Christian cross tattoos, the Celtic cross tat is also a favorite. It is mainly favored by those who take pride in Celtic heritage like the people from Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Its most prominent feature is the Celtic knot which is a symbol of the intertwining and never ending cycle of human life.
