Unlike a simple cross, the crucifix specifically depicts Christ on the cross, making it a more explicit statement of belief. For many people, this tattoo represents salvation, gratitude for grace, or a commitment to live according to spiritual values.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
