Vincent's Cross Represents Faith and Heritage
Posted on Saturday, June 4, 2011 by New Tattoo Designs Today
Religious tattoos are quite common, as any casual observer of other people's tattoos can tell you. Generally, I don't ask people about them, but every so often I feel inclined, especially when I think they're done nicely.
Take Vincent, for example. I met him in Penn Station and took a picture of this cross on his forearm:
Vincent explained that he drew this design, incorporating Celtic designs, as an acknowledgement of his faith (represented by the cross and the circle, symbolizing the Trinity) and his heritage. His father's ancestry is Welsh, and his mother's family is Italian.
The tattoo was done by at Sacred-X-Pressions in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. He doesn't recall the tattooist's name, but does know he has moved on from that shop.
Thanks to Vincent for sharing his expression of faith and heritage with us here on Tattoosday!
