What does a cross tattoo mean?

For most people a cross stands for Christian faith, sacrifice and protection. Ornate or Celtic crosses can also nod to heritage, and a small cross is a common memorial piece.

Where to place a cross tattoo

Small crosses suit the finger, wrist, behind the ear and the side of the hand. Larger ornate crosses sit well centred on the chest, upper back or the inner forearm.
