Celtic tattoos and body art (as well as other tribal tattoos) have been very popular for the past decade or so. Put it down to the graceful, timeless beauty of these designs which seem to lend themselves particularly well to tattoo art.
The Celts were a Indo-European group of people who's history goes back to the second century BC. They lived in tribes and roamed the territory of Western Europe.
Think of Celtic knots, crosses or spirals – or, more often than not, an intricate combination of several of these elements, which are often seen as black armband tattoos or as a sleeve tattoo.
Here's an overview of the various Celtic tattoo designs and their meaning. Some of these designs are very old, dating back several thousand years and they will give you aesthetic satisfaction for years to come.
