Intense shoulder armor tattoo with Celtic cross

Similar to tattoo designs for men that incorporate a bio-mechanical image, this guy has a super cool tattoo on his shoulder that looks like his skin has torn away to reveal armor. The shoulder tattoo is inked in grey and white, and features armor that appears to be strapped on and several points where the skin appears to be sewn up with stitches. The focal point of the tattoo is the large Celtic cross tattoo on the guy’s left shoulder, although it’s not immediately obvious that the Celtic tattoo design forms a cross. The overall image is actually a circle, but the circle is divided into four quarters that meet in the middle to form a cross. Celtic cross tattoos are popular tattoo designs, and typically stand for the wearer’s religious beliefs, or the four quarters: North – wisdom and stability; East – learning and knowledge; South – passion and vitality; and West – emotion and intuition.
