Tattoo Drawings of Crosses – All About the Cross Tattoos
Nobody knows exactly when and where tattoo drawings of crosses originated from. We only know that its basic design has been found in artefacts, like carving, painting and pottery etc, of ancient cultures. Its history stretches back to the BC era when the Egyptians and Babylonians were at the height of their civilisations. It was also used by various pagan religions to represent aspects of life.
Despite its symbolism of various religions, tattoo drawings of crosses have been and remain much sought after designs ranging from the very simple to the very ornate.
Christian or Latin Cross
The most common of all the tattoo crosses. It can be as simple as just two lines crossing each other. However, it represents a strong and personal belief for the wearer of the Christian faith.
Celtic Cross
Another highly popular and common tattoo crosses. It features more ornate and complicated design elements of loops with no end that symbolize a never ending cycle of dying and rebirth and the interlacing of the knots expressing the repeated crossing of both physical and spiritual elements.
The Gothic Cross
Thought to have German origins and very popular with people of the Gothic movements. It features design elements of knives or dagger, wrapped with barbed wire and red blood, all put together to produce a very disturbing and daring imagery.
The Tau Cross
Also known as the Egyptians cross. It is a basic cross with lines crossing each in a T-like shape. St Francis is said to have used the Tau cross as his signature.
The Ankh Cross
It is closely related to the Tau cross with the addition of a loop on the top of the T-shape. Another name for it is the Key of the Nile.
The Maltese Cross
Its design is made up of eight equal length arms moving towards and joining at the middle, making it an eight-pointed cross.
These are just some of the many variations of tattoo drawings of crosses. Many people have even incorporated design elements from the various crosses in their tattoos. Tattoo artists can easily give you an infinite combinations and designs of the various cross tattoos.
