Another known fact that I would like to share is, the Celts did not record their culture in paper. They did things and remembered things by passing them down orally (some got lost in translation I suppose), still the tattoo designs survived well enough along with the Celtic cross tattoos. It is a strong point in their culture, the tattoos that have their mark on it, and keeping it intact through the years and keeping it famous throughout the world are one of  the Celts descendants many missions.

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.
