Three animals do battle for supremacy, a bear, a lion, and a serpent dragon. Trapped in a matrix of Celtic knotwork, they represent the elemental forces at war within us all.

Celtic Wave Shield Tattoo Design
Roiling waves and tempestuous seas are no problem for this sailor, a Coast Guardsman whose extensive tattoo collection is in keeping with the nautical tradition. This design is a shield to protect the wearer as he makes his living on the ocean.

Celtic Canine Quartet Tattoo Design
A convoluted Celtic canine quartet contorts and cavorts on a musician's forearm. Quite intricate, very satisfying.

Jerusalem Cross Tattoo
This long-married Christian couple went to Jerusalem earlier this year, and walked in the footsteps of Jesus. It is traditional for pilgrims who visit the Holy Land to get the Jerusalem Cross tattooed on, as a mark of attainment, to show that they have completed the pilgrimage. Tonight I gifted these dear friends with the mark of faith.
