Celtic 'Ceremonial Guard' Tattoo

Today this client with a pre-existing Celtic cross asked for an extension, an epaulette of knot work to extend the tattoo up onto his shoulder, in honor of his fallen brother. The custom design was fitted around the cross to frame and expand it, and serve as a memorial of a brave man lost.

Delicate Celtic Bracelet Tattoo

This client chose a delicate vine-like pattern for a feminine bracelet. Inspired by a page margin originally found in a Medieval Book of Hours, the weaving line of leaves forms loops and links like fine jewelry. A touch of blue color brings it to life.

Celtic 'Triplicate Significance' Dedication Tattoo

Today a returning client chose this design as a dedication for his father and two grandfathers. Wearing the names of these men in the center of his chest is a way to show his connection with them, and honor their continuing influence, having guided him to become the man he is today.

'Triplicate Significance' Celtic Tattoo by Pat Fish

"One of the most recognizable Celtic symbols, the triskle within a circle makes a beautiful tattoo. This allows for three significant words or names to be placed in the ring. Often the names of children or other loved ones are placed inside the ring, which acts like a banner in a dedication tattoo."
