Celtic Cross Tattoo Designs Origins

The origin of the Celtic cross tattoo designs has been lost in history. The Celts did not keep written records, yet they have a unique oral history that was handed down to the Roman times and the Celtic cross tattoo designs can be traced back to then. The first mention of the Celts as wildly tattooed people, appears in 400AD, after a battle with the Italians, and the Celtic cross can be traced back to their first work with stone and metals during the previous century.
