First of all I got them just because I like them but the cross is a unique one not the typical one that you would normally see a person get but that would be because of my faith. The scorpian is a more tribal style one and its my astrological symbol and I thought that was cool. So they didnt persay get them because of menaing but because I liked them and thought they were unique first and then casue they symbolized something to me. I think tattos are just a way I chose to express myself and show I am living my life for me not for others and just because I have always felt unique and its an expression on the outside of what I fell on the inside.
