To me though the Maltese cross is more of a national symbol and a cultural thing rather than a strictly "religious" icon. Sure it's linked, but there's more to it than religion to me. That's just me though.
I wouldn't get any religious tattoos I don't think. Back when I was in my weird "half Catholic, half Pagan" phase I considered a tribal-style cross, I still think it would look cool but it would mean nothing to me now.
Whenever I hear Maltese I immediately think of the dog breed
But then I remind myself we are talking about people.
They are such sassy dogs, I love them
More famous than the actual ethnic group lmao

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
