Vivian asked:

ok im thinking about getting a tattoo of a celtic cross with a tribal going on each side of it on my back... i love the way the symbol looks more than any other cross but i am catholic and im wondering if it would be wrong in any way ? and i also heard it was a racest symbol.. and i am not a racest either.. so can anyone help me out with info on this tattoo?

Reply:

The typical Celtic cross is not a racist symbol. However Odin's Cross is often used as a White supremacist symbol. Odin's Cross is a Celtic cross that is perfectly symmetrical (just as tall as it is wide) and enclosed in a circle. People often call this a Celtic cross simply because they do not know that it has a more specific name.
For examples of Odin's Cross visit:

NOTE:
The second link is a link to a store, but i am not soliciting because i will not benefit in any way if somebody purchases anything. I simply posted that link because it is a good example of a variation of Odin's Cross.
