What is the meaning of the small cross tattoos?
Two of my parents friends, both guys, about 45 years old have the same small - i'm talking 1 inch - cross tattoo.. It's as simple a design as you can get, two intersecting lines.. I'm not even sure if they're ''real'' tattoos, they look like they were done with a more traditional - sort of tribal - type method. One of them has it on his forearm, the other his middle finger.
So what does it mean? I've heard some things like gang or drug affiliations, which is a possibility..but it's definitely not the whole 'they killed can you buy prescription drugs online without a prescription someone' thing. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
no erin, thank you, but it ACTUALLY has a meaning concerning these two straight, married men.
and yes - it could be some sort of religious symbol.

Saint Peter’s Cross?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_St._Peter
Are they Egyptian more specifically Coptic Orthodox Christian? Copts have small tattoos usually on the inside of their wrist of on their middle fingers to symbolize the struggle of their faith.
COPTIC CHRISTIANS in Egypt, tattoos are part of their religious life. Back in the day Pilgrimages were hugely important, and the only way to prove you had been to the Holy Land, for instance, was to return with a tattoo of the kind that only a Coptic priest was permitted to apply. The designs were applied from woodblocks in order to speed up the process, the most common tattoo being a small cross on the inside of the wrist. Operating from stall outside the walls of Jerusalem, the priests’ work was rough, but you might say it was the thought that counted. Only with the tattoo would folks back home believe you had actually prayed at the holy shrines
ALSO COULD MEAN RELIGION U COULD ASK THEM?
DIFF CULTURE TATTS AS WELL.
