Celtic cross Tattoo Photo #3429

For many people, it represents faith filtered through cultural identity-Christianity meeting older traditions. The ring has been interpreted as eternity, the sun, or the unity of earthly and spiritual realms.

The collarbone's clean horizontal line provides a natural guide for elongated designs. This placement adds a subtle accent to the upper body and works especially well with fine-line and minimalist styles.
