The Many Cross Tattoo Designs
There are different types of cross tattoos; the Celtic cross and the tribal cross. The Celtic cross is one of the most requested today because of its beauty and intricate detail. The Celtic cross design comes from both the Christian religion and Pagan religions. To the Christian religion, the cross symbolizes the death and resurrection of Christ. To other Pagan faiths, the cross may symbolize the four elements of the earth. It does not matter the religion as the cross tattoo has been around and used by people of all faiths and backgrounds for hundreds of years. Some people see the cross tattoo as a guide in life while others know its symbol for their faith.
The Tribal cross combines the elements of the cross with the elements of tribal art. This is usually done using bold black lines and designs. You can always tell if a tattoo is a tribal tattoo based on the dark features and boldness of the tattoo. Usually tribal crosses are large, dark and bold, they stick out of the crowd of tattoos.
The Calvary Cross is a cross mounted on three steps that represent the Hill of Calvary. This is usually a design that symbolizes faith, hope, and love.
The Crucifix is the type of cross that shows Jesus on a wooden Cross and symbolizes the Christian faith.
The Crown of thorns is depicted as a cross with a crown of thorns hanging on one side.
The cross of nails uses the image of large nails, the kind that were driven through the hands and feet of Jesus, to make up the cross. Sometimes the Crown of thorns is added to the cross of nails.
The Crusaders Cross is usually a large cross surrounded by smaller crosses. This is thought to symbolize the message of Christ to spread the gospel.
The type of cross that you choose is entirely up to you. This is a great symbol if you want to represent your religion or faith. It is also a popular choice just because people like the appearance.
The cross tattoo is one of the few designs seen as unisex. It deals with the spiritual rather than the physical. Two of the most common placements for cross tattoos are on the arm and back, however they can be placed anywhere on the body. A small cross can be placed on the ankle or wrist. They can also be used as the center piece of an arm or leg sleeve, or can be the center of a large back piece. The placement is entirely up to you, it all depends on how visible you want your statement of faith and religion to be.

The words 'Original' and 'Tribal' really should no longer be spoken in the same sentence. It has been so over done that many tattoo artists will no longer even do them.
That being said, any tattooist worth his salt should be able to create an original design that fits the contours of YOUR body and not just some mass-produced piece of flash off the wall.
I believe in Jesus. You must become better read. He is real. History support that even by atheists! His life was a real life and has not been denied. As a believer, I know He died on the cross because that was part of His mission in order to save my sin sick soul and take away the sins of the world. Thank you, Lord.

Thousands of tattoo designs to choose from.
are you a frat boy living in 2001?
honestly….tribal is/was a fad
it's pretty widly thought of as "lame" etc.
which shouldn't stop you if you're 18+ AND mature enough to be permanently marking your body
but having to ask strangers online what to get tattooed, should be a sign that you aren't ready to be getting a(nother) tattoo
I’d settle for just posting the Treaty of Tripoli in every classroom: “…the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion…”
I live next to a church, and grew up participating in church activities. So for awhile I belived I was christian. but I was really unhappy, and looking back i see that much of the time when I was depressed, I called myself a christian. well anyway, I decided to quite being a christian because something told me, this is not for you. i did a bit of research about many religions, common and uncommen. I came across a faith called Wicca. And so the happiest days of my life began.
