Artist's Comments

Tattoo I plan to have inked sometime soon.
I'm too busy spending money on my motorcycle, and not enough time saving for this, but that's OK because I'm still working on the banner. I don't like that it's not tattered enough to match the style of the cross having little chips taken out of it.

Had a few messages inquiring about the text.
Yes, it is Latin. It is my family, "Sanders", crest's motto.
"Nil Conscire Sibi" is Latin for "To have a conscience free from guilt." Something I live my life by, and seems very fitting to be spanned over a Cross.

I knew when I started to design this tattoo I wanted it to have a few elements that I always wanted in a tat.
[*] A cross - a symbol of my unyielding Christian faith.
[*] A trinity/Celtic knot - the trinity is symbolic of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. If you choose to call it a Celtic knot then this too symbolizes my Irish heritage.
[*] Tribal feel - I love how the bands draping from the cross look like the Ichthys (or Jesus fish)

i realy like that cross design it is very impressive..i have wanted a cross for so long but could never find what i was looking for and i think i want something loosly based on that cross i like the edges the most and the triquetra around the center personally i would lose the ring but keep the "fish"

very nice choice

Thats a cool design, Especially the Celtic knot in the middle tops it off.
