Some common parts of the body where small cross tattoos can be found include behind the ear, the ankle, the wrist, a shoulder blade or sometimes just on one finger, if the design is very simple.
The meaning of a small cross tattoo might include prayer, spirituality, devotion and the expectation of life after death. It usually represents a strong and intensely personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
The person with the tattoo may choose to keep it small and discreet out of modesty so that the tattoo does not draw too much attention to the body; these tattoos are meant more for the wearer to experience than to draw the attention of others.
On the other hand, a person who wears a small cross tattoo also wants others to be aware that she is a Christian who takes her faith seriously.
The placement of the tattoo will make a difference in how visible it is to other people. If the cross tattoo is located on the inside of the wrist, for example, then the wearer can cover it up with long sleeves when she wants to.
A small tattoo of three crosses represents the crucifixion of Christ, who was executed along with two others who were considered criminals by the Roman Empire.
Its dual meaning also refers to the one God in three parts: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
