How To Recognize A Celtic Tattoo From A Tribal Tattoo
Sep 30th
There can be little doubt that a Celtic tattoo is very popular at the moment, especially amongst the glitterati such as movie stars, sports stars and rock/pop stars. If you are planning to get one inked, you need to know the difference between a real ‘Celtic’ tattoo and a ‘tribal’ tattoo. There is a difference and, hopefully, this article will put you on the right track!
Knot Work
It is essential to look for excellent knot work in the design of your Celtic tattoo; an authentic Celtic knot has no beginning or end. Why? Well, this ‘never-ending’ knot design is a symbol of infinity in areas such as faith, love and life. These kind of knots have been used by meditators for centuries because they are ideal for fixing one’s attention (essential when attempting to reach a state of intense relaxation and concentration). In particular, the ‘Trinity Knot’ has proved to be popular with many people and is a fine example of a Celtic knot that is ‘unending.’
Symbols of Territory
The Celts were a mysterious people and often used different kinds of symbols as a way of demonstrating where they came from:
1. Harps and Shamrocks: Irish Celts.
2. Red Dragon and Thistle: Scottish Celts.
3. Daffodil and Leek: Welsh Celts.
It makes sense, if you have roots in these areas of the world, to add these symbols into the design of your Celtic tattoo. This will give you a more personalized design and be a talking point amongst friends and family!
More Celtic Symbols
This is just the beginning of the story because the Celts had many more designs and symbols in their art:
1. Numbers were very important to the Celts. ‘Nine’ was a special number with much power, as was twenty seven (9 X 3 = 27). ‘Three’ was also an essential number with lots of symbolical meaning (the relationship between the sky, earth and sea; the human soul also had a three-part nature). Other popular numbers, include thirty three (honor and royalty); five (family unit symbol in Ireland); seventeen (the passing of the moon and also the limits of generational ancestral memory in a clan).
2. The Celtic Cross/the Tree of Life. These symbols represent the amalgamation of Celtic Mysticism and Christianity by Druids around the seventh century. Again, these symbols are weaved into the fabric of endless knots.
3. The Claddagh. This symbol consists of a heart and a crown, both linking. For those about to get married this is a lucky symbol as it represents love and friendship.
4. The Pentagram. Over the years, this symbol has come to represent many things, sometimes evoking images of devil-worship and the supernatural. This is unfortunate, for the pentagram, to the Celts, represents the five stages of life: birth, youth, adulthood, old age, death. It can also represent the five elements: fire, water, air, spirit and earth.
So, this is how you recognize a Celtic tattoo. You now know that you need a mixture of these symbols in your design and a tattoo artist with some skill!

Celtic Tribal Tattoo Designs – Discover the Hidden Beauty
Nov 27th
The history and evolution of Celtic tribal tattoo designs has been highly influenced by different cultures. When Ireland was conquered by Romans, the Christian priests in Rome converted the Celtic people to their religion. At this time, Celtic people did not have any written language, instead they used interlacing designs to express their love for nature and God. The Christian priests were greatly inspired by these designs and started using them in their Bible manuscripts.
If you have deep interest in the history and heritage of the Celtic people, then celtic tribal tattoo designs are the best way to convey your passion. In fact, not only celtic descendants are proud to ink these tattoos, but people from all over the world are getting them inked. The Celtic tribal tattoo designs with their interlacing knots and attractive depiction of natural objects are mainly concerned with representing some emotional feeling rather than realistic symbolization.
Celtic knots are more popular in Celtic tribal tattoo designs because of the artistic flare that can be shown. The knots have complete loops and they have no end or beginning. Celtic tribal tattoo designs with unending knots symbolize the permanence of life, love and faith. Spirals are another popular type of celtic tribal tattoo design, which includes double, triple or quadruple swirls and truly are awe-inspiring.
The main reason for the popularity of Celtic tribal tattoo designs is that it is not gender or race specific. In a way Celtic designs tend to treat humans as equal because the meaning of these tattoo designs is much deeper in meaning than gender or race. This is what I love about these tattoos, they have carry strong meaning – isn’t this what a tattoo is all about? Express who you are and what you believe, and why not make it look great!
Celtic tribal tattoo designs can be tattooed as armbands or on the lower back, ankles, shoulders, upper back and almost anywhere on the body. There are endless varieties of tribal Celtic tattoo designs available on the internet. It is possible to design your very own with the help of a professional at a surprisingly low cost.
Due to the intricate nature, the Celtic tribal tattoo designs are not easy to design. It is highly recommended for anyone considering Celtic tattoo designs to make sure the tattoo artist knows exactly what he is doing and has a passion for this particular style of tattoo. You need to look for several things before selecting an artist to design Celtic tribal tattoo designs. Be sure to see the artist’s portfolio of Celtic designs. It is important to ensure the quality of hisher art. Apart from this, it is essential to look for a professional atmosphere in the shop.
It is wise to view online galleries for a variety of Celtic tribal tattoo designs. This is possible by paying a small onetime fee. Meeting and discussing through the forums with the tattoo artists in various forums can help clear doubts before proceeding, therefore avoiding unpleasant experiences and ensuring you are the envy of all who get a glimpse of your new symbol.
