Style

Celtic

Celtic tattooing draws from the visual vocabulary of Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and broader Northern European heritage: interlaced knotwork patterns that have no beginning or end, triple spirals (the triskelion), crosses adapted from the High Cross tradition, zoomorphic (animal-form) interlace, and Ogham script. Medieval illuminated manuscripts like the Book of Kells are the primary visual reference. The style demands control of symmetry and pattern — knotwork must flow continuously without visible construction errors. Celtic tattoos are among the most personally meaningful work done, often connected to family heritage and cultural identity.
