Celtic Tattoo Designs

There are many tattoo designs that come for Celtic artwork, such as the Celtic crosses.

The history of the Celtic people dates back thousands of years and they were well know for their skills as warriors metal works and on a more civilized side they created artwork and jewelry.

Through the passage of time the Celtic people established symbols to represent themselves and their lifestyle. The most common of these is the Celtic Cross that is worn by their ancestors throughout Europe and North America.

The Celtic symbols have been passed down over the years but there is no real written history about the Celtic people, just vague references and the artwork they left behind. As time has passed the wearing of Celtic crosses and jewelry has faded from the general public but tattooing has brought the tradition back to life with the famous Celtic cross tattoos and other popular Celtic designs.

Trinity College in Ireland, has probably the most comprehensive collection of Celtic Manuscripts and designs. It is from these that most Celtic tattoos are derived.
