Crowns
 Crown Tattoos - The crown has
long been used as a symbol of royal power and authority. Like the
sceptre, the crown is a visible badge of office, granting the
wearer, it's possessor, the absolute right to rule. That authority
to rule was often held to be divinely inspired. In the Christian
tradition the garland of thorns placed on Christ's head during the
ordeal of his crucifixion is know as the "Crown of Thorns". The
centerpiece of any coronation of a new monarch is always the moment
when the new King, Queen, or Emperor has the state crown placed upon
their head. At that moment the power to rule is transferred to the
new monarch.
As a symbol, the crown also symbolizes leadership, and the
rightful authority which comes from being elected by a group to
serve as their leader.

Many groups have used the crown to symbolize the power and
authority to lead or command. When it is combined with a cross, one
of the meanings of the crown is "victory," and the cross symbolizes
Christianity. Many Royal crowns in Europe incorporated the Christian
Cross into their design, reinforcing the Monarch's claim that their
right to the throne was a divine right and that the Monarch was
guided by the hand of God. |
 As a tattoo symbol, the crown doesn't just mean the right of one
person to command another. It symbolizes and individual's
sovereignty over their own life, feelings, thoughts, and actions.
The crown symbolizes self-control, and is a reminder to use power
and authority wisely and justly.
