This time I’ve gone with a basic cross. I’ve always stated there was always a reason behind every tattoo I have and this one is no different. This represents my faith, I don’t push it to anyone it’s very personal, but some times I question it, and go quite deep with it.
We had an old cross in the house and I often looked to that in times of fear and uncertainty. The reason that it is a battered cross, matches my faith and my upbringing. It’s always there in some form but it’s been through some battles with me and is scarred. But it still remains, it’s still there battered and damaged, but still represents strength and hope.



Simple is all it needs to be, such a symbol does not need complexity, and now late in my life I’m happy and confident enough to be proud of my faith and what this symbol means to me, and how it helped me through such a horrendous childhood. I choose this as art that represents a period of my life, and as always if anyone asks me what it represents, I can honestly tell them how this helped me through troubled times.
Peace.
