Cross Tattoos



Summarize Article by: Tom Cruz

There are many different tattoo designs around, and for every design you can think of there are probably many different forms of that particular design. We see this with dragon tattoos, people don’t just have a dragon tattoo, they want the dragon tattooed in a particular way and each way has a different symbolic meaning – it is no different with the cross. The cross is probably one of the most recognized religious symbols in the world because of its association with Christianity. The cross is actually a very ancient symbol that predates Christianity and was used by the Aztecs and by various pagan traditions.
The cross is one of the most frequently requested tattoo designs it is even more popular than the seemingly ubiquitous swallows and anchors. Nowadays many young Christians choose to have a Christian cross tattoo – these might be with or without the body of Jesus. Some Christian cross tattoos will depict the Sacred Heart along with the Cross, or with a crown of thorns. If the body of Christ is nailed to the cross this is often referred to as the Latin cross.
Gothic cross designs may not be specifically Christian as they often include some form of dark imagery. They may have some barbed wire around the middle of the cross or the cross may also be intertwined with a dagger. The Gothic cross is usually heavily ornamental with beveled edges and it symbolizes pain and anger rather than a message of hope.
The Egyptian cross or ankh is often known as the key of life it is a cross with a circular shape at the top. Tribal crosses often have flowing lines and very distinctive outlines. Then there is the Celtic cross which is gaining in popularity today and has a long history attached to it. Again the Celtic cross is usually intricately designed with loops and knot work wrapped around the area where the two parts meet. The loops are meant to symbolize the never ending circle of life and the knots symbolize the link between the physical and the spiritual world.

Angel Tattoo

Angel tattoos are very spiritual and symbolic. Angel tattoos are popular with both women and men. On women, angel tattoos are seen to represent serenity and calmness within, while on men an angel tattoo represents a connection with the higher self.Most Angel tattoo designs are of a beautiful winged figure, floating, sometimes sitting on a cloud or with clouds around, holding a harp, or trumpet. Angels are protective, so it is common for the angel to be hovering, representing their protective nature. Another popular design is angel wings. Angels tattoo designs are also a popular way to pay tribute to a lost loved one. Angel tattoo designs can also represent love and a connection with a loved one, especially if a love heart is connected with the angel. A common tattoo design nowadays, is for angels to be represented in the image of cupid.The most common meanings of Angel tattoos are spirituality, love and protection. Many tattoo designs are of angels hovering above to provide protection to something or someone. Angel tattoos can also just represent a connection with something higher than oneself.The key thing to consider when getting an Angel tattoo design (or any design for that matter) is to make sure you are completely happy with the design.

Flower Tattoos

This type of flower can be found anywhere around us, a beautiful rose take a good shape. I recommend that at least you take five different pictures to etch a better image when you edit it.
Now how do we pick one of pictures that we had gathered? A rose, lily, sunflower, tulip, or we confuse which picture should be the perfect one for your wrist. Make a tiny copy of the image for about match to your wrist area, make it 8,5 inchx11 inch that size already proportionally suit enough for wrist area, but if you make your own size that is not a problem.
Example I put it on inner wrist and then try to gather information, does it suit enough for my wrist or need little variation or need to add some images. The condition like this will help you finding a win-win solution. Yes it could be anywhere near wrist because an image about that size very suitable, do not be worrying about it because tattoo on wrist area will always attract others and has its appeal self. You must be aware of its result will be screw, do not worry about it if you take this to a skilled artist your money will be nothing compare to the result.
