SMALL TATTOOS FOR WOMEN: CROSSES
The cross is one of the most popular tattoos of recent years. It is very simple and we can do it the way we like the most. Although originally it could have a Christian meaning, if it is not totally square, that is, one of the sides that cut is longer than the other, it has a pagan meaning. Likewise, if we place the cross upside down, it has a satanic sense.
We can place them on fingers, hands, back, arms, twins … As for the shape, it depends on what you are looking for you can find a very simple black, more or less wide, or a more elaborate with details of the Renaissance or Gothic decoration. The same goes for color.
