Celtic Symbols

Celtic symbols, designs and artwork make great tattoos. You can use Celtic knots, crosses, spirals and zoomorphic images in an infinite number of ways to create a great traditional or unique tattoo design.

Celtic tattoos are part of the tribal tattoo type, although they have a distinctive quality of their own. They are especially good for displaying different bright colors. Celtic knotwork, for example, can have any number of overlapping colors.

The Book of Kells is an Irish manuscript from around 800, written in Latin and elaborately illustrated with religious and mythical art. It was written by monks and is a translation of the four Gospels of the New Testament along with commentary.

Although the Book of Kells is primarily a Christian religious book, it is also of interest to many people as a source of Celtic artwork. It has many illustrations of humans, mythic beasts (known as zoomorphic images) as well as many great examples of Celtic knotwork.

The Book of Kells is composed of four volumes, and the original manuscript is presently on display at Trinity College in Dublin.

Someone has posted a whole series of videos that show how to work with clay to make Celtic style sculptures. I don’t know if you can learn something like this from a video if you’ve never (or hardly) worked with clay before, but it’s still interesting to see how it’s done. And for people who have some experience with clay, it might give you inspiration to sculpt in a more Celtic manner!
