Chainmail Tattoo for Forearm with Celtic Design
One of the most impressive ways to use Celtic knot work is to cover a whole body part, like a fore-arm, with one connecting pattern of weaving lines. This is just such a design, that creates an effect like body armor, a warrior's chain-mail.
Mjolnir Tattoo with Viking Design
In Norse mythology Mjolnir is the hammer of Thor. In the 13th century it was written: "He [Thor] would be able to strike as firmly as he wanted, whatever his aim, and the hammer would never fail, and if he threw it at something, it would never miss and never fly so far from his hand that it would not find its way back, and when he wanted, it would be so small that it could be carried inside his tunic."
Triple Spiral Tattoo with Pictish Band Design
The power of the Pictish triple spiral is here tamed into a running line, supported by a bracketing set of spirals, for a bold bracelet or armband. The Scottish Pictish tattoo tradition lives on.
