Celtic Cross Tattoo

Celtic Cross Tattoo

Celtic cross tattoos have been around since the 5th or 6th century A.C. and have many different meanings depending on the interpretation and the culture giving it. Celtic cross tattoos also have many different visual forms that leave a person with a wide range of options when considering a Celtic cross tattoo.

Celtic cross tattoos incorporate the same style as other Celtic tattoos; most commonly the Celtic knots. Celtic knots are intertwined line designs, weaved together in a complex manner. There is no beginning and no end to the knot and therefore they carry a lot of symbolism. Celtic knots are said to represent the cycles of life and nature, the complexity of life and nature and the constantly changing world and universe. Celtic cross tattoos are commonly combined with elements of Celtic knots.
