June 20th, 2009Simplicity of the Cross Tattoo
Many people choose the Cross Tattoo to bare crosses for their simplicity and design. The most popular designs are associated with Christian religion that feature a cross adorned with other symbolic items of the catholic faith: thorns, water, fire, a purple robe, projecting light, a portrait of Christ himself, angels or praying hands. Another style is the Celtic cross known for its intricate interlacing knots and spirals with no beginning or end. And the Ankh Cross, a cross with a loop at the top represents energy and zest, reproduction and sexual union, male and female, and life and death.
