Celtic Tattoos – Knots of Mystery
Celtic tattoos
have had resurgence in recent years, and have become some of the more popular tattoos. The only
problem with these tattoos is that it can take a lot of research to find the symbolism of a
particular Celtic knot or some
Celtic symbol,
The Celtic Art of ancient times is known for its knotwork, and had many interlacing patterns,
spirals, and animal forms as well. The beauty of the Celtic knotwork is that it has no beginning
or end. This Celtic art was seen in jewelry, weapons, pots and figurines. The Celtic tradition of
knotwork in manuscript painting moved from Britain to Ireland to Scotland to Wales to Northumbria.
Modern Celts have taken this and created their own symbols, with people of Celtic descent that are
living elsewhere wearing the knotwork to show their pride in their Celtic heritage, which often
shows up in a
Celtic tattoo.
Aside from the Celtic knot, there are other traditional Celtic symbols. The traditional Irish or
Celtic symbol is the
shamrock,
yet there are other traditional Irish symbols that are also seen as Celtic such as the harp, being
that it is the national instrument of the Celtic people. The traditional Scottish symbols are
thistle and tartan. The red dragon, leek and daffodil are symbols of the Welsh. Any of these would
be appropriate Celtic symbols for a tattoo.
Above all, since these tattoos represent traditional values in some way, it is suggested that you
find a tattoo artist that is knowledgeable with the Celtic symbolism.
