Heraldry Tattoos by Pat Fish | ||||||||||||||
|
A tattoo that celebrates a connection to family heritage or national identity is a way to permanently make a statement of your place in history.
Because of a strong personal interest in the symbolism of clan and family crests, Pat Fish has had much experience with these designs over the decades of her career. Whether replicating an ancient crest that represents a particular branch of a family, or a clan crest that shows allegiance to a larger group, these patterns transcend time and link the wearer to an ethnic bloodline and historic past. While many nations have heraldic traditions that make excellent tattoos, there is especially good news if you're Scottish: We have been granted the exclusive rights in the US to reproduce, as tattoos, the clan crest artwork as depicted in the Scottish Clan and Family Encyclopedia, by Way and Squires, which contains the latest approved badges by the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs. In addition to the 148 crests in the encyclopedia we also have access to a further 156 from the same artist making this the largest range in the World. We regret that due to copyright restrictions we are unable to supply these designs as flash for installation by others. If you want the best heraldic crest tattoo, you will just have to come to Santa Barbara to have it installed. This makes Tattoo Santa Barbara the premier destination for Celtic Heraldry Tattoos. | ||||||||||||||
Tattoo of Clan Campbell Crest Badge  |
Clan Campbell Crest Tattoo The Scottish Campbell Clan is traditionally descended from Diarmid, the Fingalian Hero. The name in Gaelic means "Wry-Mouth" and I personally interpret the motto NE OBLIVISCARIS to translate to "Don't be Oblivious." Tattoo of Clan Wallace Crest Badge  Clan Wallace Crest Tattoo | For those Bravehearts lucky enough to claim descent from the Scottish Clan of William Wallace. Tattoo of Clan Macpherson Crest Badge  Clan Macpherson Crest Tattoo | The armorial badge of the Scottish Clan Macpherson, part of the ancient Clan Chattan. A wildcat encircled by a strap bearing the motto from the gaelic "Na bean don chat gun lamhainn" meaning "touch not the cat when its claws are not gloved." Tattoo of McCurdy Family Crest  McCurdy Family Crest Tattoo | This fine example of custom work was designed from original material, using in this case an old family embroidery to fit the verbal AND visual description. The heraldic design was worked out via consultation and internet research. The proud owner wears his family coat of arms and has a wonderful proud tale of its origin and tattoo installation.
