Celtic Butterfly Tattoos – Fly toward Infinity
It is generally accepted that Celtic tattoos are elegant and classy due to their quality designs
and sober look. As Celtic tattoos in general,
Celtic butterfly tattoos
are black, designed with traditional Celtic spirals and knots so it is clear from the very start
that Celtic butterflies are a form of tribal tattooing
A Celtic butterfly tattoo is usually small and discrete: the butterfly is stylized and
incorporated in a traditional Celtic tattooing shape. The Celtic patterns are in style especially
for the reason that they give tattooers a lot of flexibility in their designs. The butterfly in
the Celtic tattooing style is usually a small and discrete pattern. For a butterfly tattoo
respecting the style of the Celts it is enough to depict the butterfly using bold lines combined
with traditional elements such as leaves or shamrocks – the luck of the Irish. These tattoos look
very similar to the early Celtic art. Design similarities can be easily found in jewelry and
weapons and other relics.
The most frequent symbol is the knot. Its meaning has deep roots in the tribal tradition and it
can be seen as embodying infinite and ideals. The knots have a never-ending path, a model that
probably inspired Brancusi to create the Infinity Column. In fact the craving for immortality and
infinity is not singular and cannot be reduced to the Celtic culture. This could be another reason
why the knots are a popular choice for tattooing. As the knots have no beginning and no end and
their symbolistic ascends to perfection, it is but logic to encompass a butterfly in such a
design: butterflies themselves are of divine nature and strive to achieve perfection. One may
conclude that these tattoos stand for deity with no beginning and no end, a pure spiritual
fulfillment and a flight toward infinity.
