The origins of the first cross image are still unknown today. What is known is that the cross has been used by many ancient cultures. In fact, crosses were used way before Christianity became a formal religion.

I met Mario outside of Madison Square Garden and he shared this, his first tattoo, which he had inked on his eighteenth birthday:


His friend did the design and he took it to Coney Island Vinny's Tattoo and Body Piercing in Brooklyn.

Thanks to Mario for sharing this tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
