A while back I shared this epically terrible Jesus tattoo.<\/p>\n

$\"jesus$ <\/a>Well, as it turns out, patriotic crosses are an entire genre of tattoos.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a few I came across today that are just wow.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the simple\u2026<\/p>\n

$\"cross-american-flag-tattoo-design-for-men-on-calf\"$ <\/a>The slightly more elaborate\u2026<\/p>\n

$\"Screen$ <\/a>The obligatory \u201cOne nation under God\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

$\"my_tats_001_large\"$ <\/a>And the I\u2019m pretty sure using the cross that way is blasphemy\u2026<\/p>\n

$\"USAAMERICANcloseupgeneraldetailed-tattoo-bits-Sflashdesigns-tattoo-bits-picturesgallery-tattoo-bits-art19\"$ <\/a>I would try to add clever commentary, but I don\u2019t even know how you begin respond to the cross being relegated to a flagpole.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just too terrible for words.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong><\/em> Here\u2019s one somebody just shared in the comments that might just be the worst cross\/flag tattoo of all time\u2026<\/p>\n

$\"Confederate-Cross-Flag-Tattoo\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n
