Tribal Celtic Cross Tattoo?
Stratford asked:
Ok im thinking about getting a tattoo of a celtic cross with a tribal going on each side of it on my back... i love the way the symbol looks more than any other cross but i am catholic and im wondering if it would be wrong in any way ? and i also heard it was a racest symbol.. and i am not a racest either.. so can anyone help me out with info on this tattoo?
Reply:
The typical Celtic cross is not a racist symbol. However Odin's Cross is often used as a White supremacist symbol. Odin's Cross is a Celtic cross that is perfectly symmetrical (just as tall as it is wide) and enclosed in a circle. People often call this a Celtic cross simply because they do not know that it has a more specific name.
For examples of Odin's Cross visit:

NOTE:
The second link is a link to a store, but i am not soliciting because i will not benefit in any way if somebody purchases anything. I simply posted that link because it is a good example of a variation of Odin's Cross.

If you do not feel strongly enough about a specific topic DO NOT get a tattoo …….yet. I always tell me friends and family it is a PERMANENT piece of jewelry. You can never take it off… not for weddings, job interviews, and you will be constantly explaining its meaning even when you are 60 years old and could careless about the meaning of the permanent ink mark you had put into your skin about 50 years previously. I tell my kids I will buy them an expensive piece of jewelry and if they wear it for every occasion for three years and still love it I will pay for the tattoo.
PS> My husband and many of my sisters and brothers have tattoos. I am not opposed to them. Out of all the tattoos I've seen only a couple, as in two, actually impress me. The rest are an embarrassment to art and originality. Also remember gravity is not your friend when it comes to marks on your skin and sagging flesh from age.

Cool stuff dude.
The foreign Middle Eastern religion Christianity and their doctrine which is anti Indo European, does not represent the nomadic Pagan Celts from around the world. The Hill of Taras Royal Grove is asking all Druids from around the world to unite together against the Middle Eastern Christian extremists who wish to bring harm to the citizens of ancient Gaul, which is the Unification of the EU.
