Trees have been mentioned in myths and revered in many religions. They symbolize life and the cycle of life with the withering of leaves in the winter and the rejuvenation of flowers and leaves in the Spring. In Celtic tradition it is said that trees were the ancestors of mankind, had spirits and were living beings.

Tree tattoos have significant symbolic meaning depending on the type of tattoo depicted. The tree tattoo in the picture is a representation of the mighty oak. It symbolizes strength and courage. The ancient Romans thought oak trees attracted lightening and thereby connected the oak tree to the sky god, Jupiter and his wife, Juno, the goddess of marriage.




The cross tattoo is very popular not only among Goths but also with those who want to express their religion, and those who just love how the design looks on their skin. The most popular cross designs include the Celtic Cross, Maltese Cross, and the Iron Cross.
