Today it is traditionally shown as a symbol in the Christian faith; however it is not exclusive only to Christians. In addition to the depiction of Jesus and the crucifix, the cross has been used in various countries with various symbolizations. Almost all variations of the cross have a basis of deity. Some citizens have taken the cross as a symbol of: the hammer of the God Thor; Babylonian moon deity; representation of the four directions in which the sun shines; the higher, celestial states of being, along with the lower, earthly states; an association with Maat, the Egyptian Goddess of Truth and the sexual union of Isis and Osiris, and lastly as a symbol of a human effigy on a cross. The Crucifix is also a popular choice especially for those of the Catholic faith. It makes use of the Latin cross design with the image of Jesus Christ's crucifixion. Another version of the Latin cross is the 3-Step Cross, where from the bottom of the cross are 3 steps signifying a pathway of faith, hope and love.

The death of a loved one can also create a desire for a permanent tattoo of a cross with the name of the family member or friend woven between the cross. To some, such a depiction helps the memory stay alive. Therefore, it would be foolish to come to the conclusion that someone donning a cross tattoo must surely be affiliated with the Catholic religion. While some tattoo designs have no symbolization or deeper meaning – other than the owner thought it was cute or would look cool, such is not the case with cross tattoos. The cross is often an expression of faith - each cross and each tattoo with an extremely individual meaning.
