Tattoo Meaning - Celtic Cross Tattoo Design

The Celtic Ctoss Tattoo are very popular amongst the Irish, Scottish, or Welsh as this tattoo originated from these culture. As this tattoo is very popular, there is also the complexity of the design of this tattoo. Some said that the design of the Celtic Cross Tattoo is based on the complexity of nature and it uses Celtic knots in spirals and mazes, the intricate interweaving showing no beginning and no end, reflective of the cycles of the seasons and of life. With the religion and faith was added it becomes a Celtic Cross Tattoo.

The Celtic Cross Tattoo as symbolic expressions, the circle and the cross could not be more different. One is mystical while the other is almost geographical. The circle is a symbol of eternity and the endlessness of God’s love, while the cross relates to the four directions, or four corners of the Earth (or perhaps the four elements: Air, Earth, Fire, Water), while the axes coming together imply the joining of forces such as Heaven and Earth.
