Crucifix Tattoo Photo #20008

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.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
