Knotted Celtic Lion Tattoo Design
A fierce rampant lion, based on a pattern from the 9th c Irish illuminated manuscript the Book of Kells, roaring across the centuries and living again in skin.
The Circle of Fifths Tattoo Design
This unique design started as a request by a musician for a tattoo of the Circle of Fifths, a geometric tool of letters for organizing pitches, scales, and key signatures. I suggested we use a woven ten-pointed star drawn by the clever Siberian artist Sergey Arzamastsev in the center. Then we added a simple twist of a Celtic ring to enclose it all.
Warriors of the Heart Celtic Tattoo Design
A tattoo tribute to the K9 soldiers who serve beside their handlers in war and peace. Whose strength of heart and brave willingness to rise to the occasion set an example for all who defend honor. Two mighty dog warriors flank a knotted triquetra.
