Are you a Catholic or a Pagan? Well I’m kind of both and to show it off I gave myself a real treat, a Celtic cross tattoos to tell people of my Celt ancestry. People like us, that came from Scotland, Ireland and Wales, like to sport this kind of Celtic cross tattoos design on our body. It reminds us of where we came from and how our ancestors lived their lives. You may find famous actors wearing off their very own Celtic cross tattoos like Robbie Williams or Justin Timberlake. It just goes without saying that Celtic cross tattoos are one of the tops contenders for the number one spot for the best tattoo of the world (More tattoo designs around the world here!).
As history will tell you, Celts are very proud people, so as one of them, tattooing myself with a Celtic cross tattoos are just unavoidable. My guy pals, even my gal friends all sports Celtic cross tattoos on their body wearing them like any other proud real Celts would. You may search a lot of tattoo designs online and find at the top of the list our very own Celtic cross tattoos which is not surprising at all. They may come in different shapes, different colors, different sizes but if you have one on you now then your considered as a part of our growing family of Celt heritage lover. Spreading the culture that once was, at its prime, one of the most dominant in all of Europe maybe even the world!
Fast facts, the Celts were pagan people so their choosing the cross shape was never because of Christianity. The Celtic cross tattoos were only integrated into Christianity when the Gospel was introduced to Ireland.
Legend says that St. Patrick blessed a sacred standing stone marked with a circle, people that time believed the stone to be a cross and it began the union of Gospel and Celtic culture in the Celtic cross.
Still, people will agree with me, that the original Celts thought of the original Celtic cross tattoos for them and did not copy it to anyone else. So if you are one of us, have your very own Celtic cross tattoos now. Show of to everyone that our culture still stands and will continue on, forever.
