Tribal Cross Tattoos - Combing Faith and Tribal Beliefs

Tribal cross tattoos have been symbols of hope for centuries, and they were in existence before their use as symbols of the Christian faith. Ancient cultures such as the Celts and Druids have used the cross ties of these tattoos as a wards against evil, and symbols of supernatural authority since they became a communal group of people. Tribal cross tattoos can have a uniquely different appearance from the cross used by Christians, but is still used as a symbol of Christians who wish to express their faith in ink. Modern groups of people such as the Gothic movement members, use the intricate beauty of the black ink tribe cross tats as a symbol of individuality.

The use of crosses in a tattoo design can have a different meaning depending on the wearer, and details of the cross. For Christians, a tribe cross tattoo will normally have fewer embellishments, while a true Celtic tribal cross, has countless varieties of the same theme. Celtic crosses have flowing designs of entwined symbols, and patterns that set them apart from the symbolism of the holy cross. For Christians, the cross is a symbol of death, and resurrection of Christ. Celtic tribal crosses can carry a wide range of symbolism depending on the origins of the design, and beliefs of the wearer.

Celtic tribe cross tats can feature not only the central cross and designs done in black, but often times carry colorful faeries, in reds, blues, and greens and intricate forest details of flowers and vines. These designs are popular among women, and can be done in small areas for a striking inked image to keep private, or use larger designs for placement on the shoulder bone.

The Celtic tribal cross tattoos gained popularity first in the British Isles around Ireland, Wales, and Scotland.
