Celtic cross tattoo designs are both beautiful and meaningful
Are you wondering what distinguishes Celtic cross tattoos from
regular ones showing a cross image? It's not just the tattooing
style. Celtic cross tattoo designs feature a ring around the
intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines of the cross. It's
symbolic in nature and the reason why these crosses are also known
as ring crosses.
Celtic crosses are representational of the union of the spiritual
world and the world we live in on earth. The intersection of the
cross is this union, and the circle surrounding the intersection
symbolizes God's constant and consistent love. As you can see, this
type of Celtic art dates from the post-Christian era.
What makes a tattoo bearing a Celtic cross truly your own is the
colors and patterns you choose for your knotwork.
Captain Bret's Celtic Tattoo Shop has a variety of pictures of
these tattoos. You can see how people work in other symbols such as
animal imagery or shamrocks, and how the colors and knotwork vary
for each person. It's an appealing design because there is no one
specific way to get it done.
BME has a large gallery of Celtic tattoos. Looking through these
images will help you get an idea of what people do with their ring
cross tattoos. Does the ring encircle the whole cross or just the
intersection? Is the knotwork simple or complex? Do you like colored
ones or black and white ones better? You have a lot of choices,
which will help you come up with a really unique tattoo.
