With a central Trinity Knot as the stable core, this backpiece design of wild Pictish spirals is a study in asymmetry and the curling flow of smoke in air.
Celtic Oak Green Man Tattoo Design
The spirit of the woods, a Celtic Green Man with woven knotwork beard and oak leaf hair. Representing the union of the primordial forest with the spirit of humankind.
Mercurial Spirals Tattoo Design
An evocative circle of spirals taken from the 6th century Book of Kells illuminated manuscript. The size of a dime in the original, greatly enlarged here to encompass the hip and onto the butt of a very fit and wiry man. Sculptural art! The central triscle is surrounded by interlocking double spirals and triquetras, a symphony of threes.
The Loving Tree Tattoo Design
A memorial for two beloved parents whose lives together were as two trees twined to become one. This daughter asked that we unite an apricot and a plum, and I encircled them with a Celtic knot work oval and wove the lines together into one.
