from: No Blarney About Irish Tattoos
You don’t have to be Irish to sport Irish tattoos, often called “Celtic” or “Tribal”. If the design strikes you as being the perfect tattoo for you, you should follow your dream, no mater what your nationality. Irish tattoos aren’t always green and aren’t always just a shamrock or a pint of Guinness. Irish tattoos are some of the most elegant and intricate tattoo designs ever put to flesh.
Knots And Armbands
One of the advantages of Irish tattoos, especially those of Celtic influence, is that since they are often patterns of designs, it will not change all that much when your body ages, of if you put of or take off weight. This is different from getting a face or an animal tattoo, as they could be significantly warped as your skin sags or shrinks.
Two of the most popular Irish tattoos are Celtic knots and armbands. They are based on the ancient Celtic designs found in old Ireland (and new Ireland) featuring unbroken intertwining serpentine lines. These designs were good luck charms and talismans of blessings from benevolent spirits. They are also inoffensive in even the stuffiest of social situations. Having a Celtic knot run the entire circumference of your upper arm is also a discrete yet powerful tattoo, often looking like a real armband!
Celtic Pride
Other popular designs of Irish tattoos involve putting Celtic runes on your body. They are elegant and inoffensive designs of the ancient written alphabet in Celtic held lands like Ireland. You could put DROP DEAD in Celtic runes on your arm and everyone would think it was a cool design (except for those few who have actually studied Celtic runes). It was once thought that words were powerful magic spells all of their own. A word could make whatever the word represented come true. This theory still creeps about in our subconscious, as we sometimes think, “This is written in a book or on the web – it must be true!” Having a word tattooed on you permanently can bring that magic into your life, if you believe.
No Rush
Pick your Irish tattoos the same way you would pick any other works of art – carefully! Take your time and do plenty of research. Go on tattoo websites like Tattoo Johnny.com to find designs. Talk to those who have Irish tattoos you admire – they’ll usually be glad to tell you what artist did it. Check out a tattoo parlor before you commit to a tattoo to be sure the place looks and smells clean.
