Do you find cross tattoos too common or just plain annoying?

I didn't wear a cross until i was 18 yrs old and still don't wear one because my upbringings didn't allow them even though it was Christian based. But i find them to be both beautiful and sometimes the designs just suck.

1. well, kinda annoying cuz now days people just wear them for whatever and like it doesnt mean anything. and it also depends on where u put it too...
2. What Christian based religion doesnt ALLOW them? Some religions tend to focus on the resurrection of Christ, and not just his death. I dont find them annoying per se, they are very classic and old school in tattoos. Its different artists renderings of a cross, and some artists are tons better than others, and also, it depends on your taste in art!
3. What?? What's wrong with wearing a Cross? And yes it is very beautiful. But plz tell why u wernt able to wear one?? Just curious. Oh and buy thew way the they are VERY common. but not really annoying in some cases it kind of is.
4. i dunno if i should even answer this being an atheist.. but i think they just plain look dumb as a tattoo. the necklaces are ok but i hate when people wear it because of style. the tattoo ones 99.9% of the time look kinda dumb. and isnt there stuff in the bible against tattoos and stuff? im not sure cuz ive studied many religions maybe im mixed up but if there is it would be kind of... contradictory
5. Some designs are very beautiful and have a very deep meaning. But then I think that God must look at them and say " Sheesh, you could have done something in that time and with that money that REALLy would have pleased me."
6. agh to common . their beatiful but but i see then from chruch people to preps and goths.
7. neither. I am not "christian" or follow any structured religion. I follow a native american spiritual path. I have a cross tattoo on my back. It the length of my back and shoulder to shoulder blade. Its actually a Celtic Gothic cross and is beautiful. It honors my Celtic roots, it honors the part of me that lives outside the box and it honors the spiritual.
8. all depends on the tattoo artist and how legit they are. but overall, it's a played tattoo. try getting a cross but adding your own little flare to it...a banner with scripture or something that means a lot to you. :]
9. Well. Most cross tattoos that I've seen have meaning. So. I like them. And to everyone who's saying that they're not spiritual or pleasing to God... There are stained glass windows in churches, right? And what are they there for? To look pretty. So, by getting tattoos, you're just decorating.
10. Most cross tattoo's are for a memory of a lost loved one, So I do not think that they are annoying, I look at it as a memorial. But it is what ever you think , don't go through all of the answers looking for someone to change your mind, b/c you may regret it later. Best of Luck!
