If you're planning on getting a tattoo of a cross plan your design well in advance. A tattoo is permanent and once you get it that's what you live with. Referencing a book on cross tattoos might save you from a lifetime of unhappiness, take some time to research your design by looking at cross tattoos in a bookstore.
Celtic crosses are very popular, they are beautifully detailed. Also referred to as a high or Irish cross they are found throughout Ireland. Based on a Latin cross design they have the addition of a circle around the cross intersection. The Celtic cross actually predates Christianity, St. Patrick is thought to have used symbols that the Irish were familiar with to convert them to Christianity. These crosses began appearing since the 7th century.
Christians use the cross as a symbol of Christ dying for our sins. Romans commonly used crosses as a means of execution for non-Romans and slaves. Unlike the Jewish faith who are not allowed to get tattoos Christians are allowed to get them. The classic cross is the Latin cross or crux ordinaria, the vertical post represents the divine and the horizontal represents the world. The intersection is the union of both.
Tribal tattoos can be in the style of Maori art which consists of spiral designs that are striking. Maori women were typically tattooed on their lips, chin and sometimes on their spinal. Their symbols have a sacred significance.
Gothic or ornamental crosses use the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cross-Tattoos-Pictures-Christian-Crosses/dp/0986642649/">Latin cross tattoos</a> and then adorned with intricate scrolling or sometimes they can have a German look about them. The cross can have the addition of barbed wire or swords and daggers.
As you have seen it comes with an extensive variety in cross design and it will be a great idea to examine the book by Johnny Karp on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cross-Tattoos-Pictures-Christian-Crosses/dp/0986642649/">Cross Tattoos</a> at your local bookstore. Choosing the right design will make for a happy customer ultimately.
