A tattoo of crosses for Christians and non-Christians alike
The cross is among the most powerful images in Christianity.
According to the tenets of the religion, it is a representative
image of how Jesus died for the sins of mankind. Thus, Christians
turn to the cross for jewelry, bumper stickers, and sometimes even
tattoos. The image means a lot, and getting a tattoo of crosses is a
way for many Christians to demonstrate their beliefs.
Getting a tattoo of a cross is not just a way of initiating
yourself into the world of the tattooed, nor is it simply a way of
identifying yourself as a Christian. Your choice to get a tattoo
based in your faith can also double as a way to glorify God not
through song and not just through deed, but on your body as well,
and for the rest of your days.
As an image becomes popular, sometimes it takes on new meaning.
For instance, Celtic crosses initially had little to do with
Christianity. Instead, these symbols represented the balance of the
four elements that make up the world. So, there are ways to enjoy
cross tattoos despite your belief system. If the pagan ideas of the
Celts and the look of their artwork appeal to you, a Celtic cross
can make a great tattoo.
For a variety of designs for cross tattoos, look through these
images from
Bullseye Tattoos. Their designs utilize other images, like
flames, skulls, light, and wings. The idea is for you to be able to
find the design that adapts well to your beliefs.
