About Celtic Knot Crosses

The Celts were a West European group of people who's history goes back to the second century BC. They lived in tribes and roamed the Western Europe. There is a legend that the Celtic cross was designed by Saint Patrick who was trying to convert the pagan Irish people. This cross is a combination of the Christian cross and the sun, which was worshipped by the Celtic druids.The oldest examples of crosses are those engraved or painted on flat pebbles, dating from 10,000 BC, found in a cave in the French Pyrenees. These stones were believed to contain the spirits of the dead.The cross with the characteristic circle is probably the most recognized of all Celtic symbols. The center of the cross is also representative of the center place where all forces of Life, source of the four mystic rivers, summit of the world mountain, and other interpretations of the X that marks the spot. Its meaning can also represent navigation, we can look to the cross as a symbolic compass, guiding us through a spiritual sea.

Tattoos in the US Military

From this source:
The U.S. Air Force, like the other services, have discovered that it's not worth the grief to try and ban recruits with tattoos. The air force recently implanted a policy barring recruits who had any tats on their right (saluting) arms. But someone at the top did not realize that there were hundreds of recruits in the Delayed Entry Program (you do not report for basic training for some months after you sign up) who probably had tattoos, and, sure enough, 26 of them turned out to have tattoos on their right arms.
Sometimes the military is strict about recruits having tattoos. Sometimes it alows some tattoos.

It appears that at the moment the military allows tattoos if they are not visible when the recuit is fully dressed. No, sometime it allows tattoos that are visible if the tattoo is 'innocent' -- if it doesn't offend the recruiter. Which means that recruiters disagree, so what is permissible by one is not permissible by another.

Sanskrit tattoo designs: The lotus

It is an interesting fact that the lotus flower closes each night and subsides under water. In the morning, it re-emerges to blossom again. For this reason, the lotus is used as a metaphor of the process of creation or cycle of the universe.The lotus flower is a very important symbol for both buddhist and hindu religions. It signifies purity of the body and mind. In some belief structures, the
