Celtic Zoomorphic Tattoos



War Horse
The powerful heavy horses of the Middle Ages carried the armored knights into battle. To depict this noble animal, double spirals on the body show sources of motive force, and knotwork is carried into the arched neck and legs.

SightHound
I make no secret of my preference for sighthounds, and Irish Wolfhounds in particular. This design captures both the intent of their gaze and their tendency to get tangled up in their enthusiasm for the chase.

Phoenix Pyre
A Celtic knot forms the base for a pyre of flame from which this stylized phoenix rises. Long used as a symbol of rebirth, the phoenix is consumed in fire and then reborn cleansed, ready to soar again.

Mermaid and Fish
The original of this charming mermaid is on The Maid of Meigle Pictish Stone, an ancient carved stone in the Meigle Museum in Perthshire, Scotland. With a classic split tail and holding her twined hair, she is attended by adoring fishes made of Celtic knotwork.

Wolf Love
The fierce attentive gaze of the wolf, looking into the past and present, always aware, graces either end of this Celtic knotwork.

Pictish Boar
The Pictish boar originally was carved into a gigantic standing stone, and embodies the sleek power of this most masculine of fierce animals. His feet are trampling through a knotwork that is made of his own tail, and the line of the tusk forms an arc in the jaw.
