Crown Tattoos

      One very popular crown tattoo is a Claddagh tattoo.  This Irish crown tattoo is made up of three images with three meanings.  Two hands are clasped around a heart and a crown sits on top.  The crown represents loyalty, the hands represent friendship and the heart is said to represent love.  A saying that has been attributed to this symbol is "With my hands I give you my heart and I crown it with love".

Some crown designs and crown patterns have particular meanings associated with them, while other crown tattoos are chosen simply for their style or design.  In addition to a symbol of royal power and authority, in early ages crowns were said to represent a protective quality.  Crown tattoos can be found in different shapes such as rounded, flat or raised, stove pipe and pixie style crowns.

Some crown tattoos are found in design combinations such as various crown heart tattoos, crown crosses tattoos, crown lion tattoos crown skull tattoos and crowns with flowers.  Another meaningful tattoo for many is the crown of thorns.  There are many designs and wonderful color combinations for these tattoos.
