A and Ω (alpha and omega)

just made new tattoo on my back last week. 2 symbols alpha and omega. with purple and pink gradation colors. i planned to make this symbols as my tattoo about 8 years ago when i was in junior high, it was easter and my dad made this symbol for a church, then i asked him, what symbol is this? and he explained it. i was very excited with his explanation. then i decided to make this symbols someday. and now i just made it :)

im the alpha and the omega 

τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ω

Its meaning is found in the fact that alpha (Α) and omega (Ω) are respectively the first and last letters of the Classical (Ionic) Greek alphabet. This would be similar to referring to someone in English as the "A and Z". Thus, twice when the title appears it is further clarified with the additional title "the beginning and the end" (21:6, 22:13).

Though many commentators and dictionaries apply this title both to God and to Christ, some secular sources argue otherwise.^[4] Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament (1974) claims: "It cannot be absolutely certain that the writer meant to refer to the Lord Jesus specifically here... There is no real incongruity in supposing, also, that the writer here meant to refer to God as such." However, most Christian denominations teach that it does apply to Jesus and God as they are one; Revelation Chapter 22 has Jesus himself saying the words: "I am the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last".

Therefore the letters Alpha and Omega in juxtaposition are often used as a Christian visual symbol (see examples). The letters were shown hanging from the arms of the cross in Early Christian art, and some crosses in precious metal have formed letters hanging in this way. In fact, despite always being in Greek, the letters became more common in Western than Eastern Orthodox Christian art. They are often shown to the left and right of Christ's head, sometimes within his halo, where they take the place of the christogram used in Orthodox art.
