The image of the cross expresses a message of love and humanity that are common to us all.

The cross is an ancient symbol, figuring in Celtic and Norse cultures and later adopted by Christianity as a representation of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Each denomination of the Christian religion adopts a different type of cross to represent its beliefs and cross tattoos are available in accordance with the many different shapes and sizes in use. Because of the widespread use of the cross symbol, it has come to be associated with universal human community and a symbol of peace and beauty in its own right, over and above its identification with the Christian religion. The cross also represents the number ten in Roman numerals, a marking of an important place (the location of a treasure for example) or any combination of four elements represented by the four edges of the cross (four members of your family, the main points on a compass or the four elements for example).

Cross tattoos are admired for their clear and strong message and their simple design. When choosing between different cross tattoo designs, you will realize it is easy to fit the image on any part of your body because of its purity and symmetry.

Tattoo artists have also developed elaborate decorations and inscriptions that fit the image of the cross, such as a circle of fire, a group of hearts or even a small portrait placed in the intersection of the cross’s two parts.
