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.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
