A very long and highly organized pattern of interlocking Celtic knots and loops, complex enough to fascinate, simple enough to draw the eye across the pattern. Transformational !
Tartan Day
Tartan Day is a North American celebration of Scottish heritage on 6 April, the date on which the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320. In honor of National Tartan Day here is the one and only time I have ever rendered a tartan as a tattoo. This fine MacCrae lad was insistent, I was hesitant, and you can see that in order to reproduce just one "sett" in the pattern we needed to scale it way up and cover much of his forearm. The technical challenges of a tartan are extreme, making precise tiny thin lines to prevent the various colors blurring together, but it worked!
Reviving a faded Clan Badge Tattoo
A man from Maryland got this Clan MacGregor badge design of mine done Back East 16 years ago, and now we have renewed it with all new outlines and red color.
Protector Celtic Cross Tattoo Design
Many of those who take on the responsibility of protecting others wear the cross as their badge of honor. A grave rubbing from an ancient cross in Ireland is here translated into a tattoo, and becomes a shield of faith.
