Whether you are celebrating your religion or you are looking for a piece of art that celebrates a wonderful part of the history of Ireland and the British Isles, a Celtic cross tattoo has you covered! The Celtic cross, also known as the Irish cross, is essentially a standard cross with a circle around the intersection of the four arms.
There are many reasons why the design of the cross may be in this format, but many theories point to the crosses as predating the arrival of Christians to the region.
It is also a possibility that the design reflects the blending of two very different cultures and peoples. This figure is found all over the British Isles in a wide variety of forms, and you'll find some extremely ancient examples of the Celtic crosses in the forests and parks. When you look at the Celtic cross, you are looking at a piece of history that goes back thousands of years.
If you are interested in a Celtic cross tattoo, there is a good chance that you are interested in the art of the area of the world. Celtic knotwork, with its intricate loops and intertwining, has a great deal to recommend it to tattoo design, but remember that you want to make sure that your artist has a good history with the style.
When you are looking into getting a Celtic cross tattoo, take a look around. You'll find lots of interesting examples of this figure in the most unlikely places. Focus your search on cathedrals and graveyards and you'll be sure to get plenty of different sources of information for your tattoo!
Remember that the more intricate you want the detailing on this piece, the larger it will be; there are many people who have a Celtic cross as a backpiece or a chestpiece. If this design suits you, make sure that it's big enough to be seen and that the lines won't blur together over time!
