A cross in the form of a tattoo is not just a body decoration. It has a deep sacred meaning, and can often tell a lot about a person. Hollywood celebrities often get this image on their skin.

The meaning of the cross tattoo

Such an image not only personifies the main symbol of the Christian religion. The cross is also interpreted as an ancient symbol of the Cosmos - the unity of the four cardinal directions and elements, as well as the earthly and spiritual.

Other meanings not related to the Christian religion:

  • ankh - the ancient Egyptian sign of eternal life and rebirth;
  • The Celtic cross is the embodiment of universal cyclicity, a symbol of the Sun and eternal renewal.

The main meaning of the tattoo is perseverance, loyalty to one’s principles, and deep religiosity.

Crosses are printed primarily in black and white. Popular styles are black&gray, vipshading, blackwork, for color sketches - traditional.

What parts of the body are cross tattoos placed on?

The image most often adorns the forearms, shoulders and backs. Crosses on the chest have traditionally been considered prison symbols, although today there are bearers of such tattoos who do not belong to the criminal world.

In the “zone” it is also stuffed on the fingers, as well as on the temples.
