Chalice Well Tattoo with Celtic Design
The center of this tattoo pattern is the sacred design found on the cover of the Chalice well. It is the heart of an amazing site of religious pilgrimage in Glastonbury, England. The tower known as Glastonbury Tor rises high above the surrounding landscape, and at its foot is the Chalice Well, where some believe the holy Grail was placed by Joseph of Aramathea. Centuries of believers have journeyed to see the well, and drink from the waters there.
The sword piercing the moment of becoming.
