Tattoos designed with Celtic knot work is a beautiful way to render the beautiful intricate Irish knot work. The interlacing patterns are easily identifiable as Irish heritage. With the popularity of tattoos, it has become a favorite with tattoo enthusiasts. Celtic artwork was developed in ancient times.  The basics of the Celtic knot is the simplicity of alternating in an over-and-under formation.

Many with Celtic roots will choose this design as a badge of pride. Celtic tattoos require planning, a good stencil and a tattoo artist that enjoys this style. Some seem to like the repetition and the various ways Celtic designs can be worked into different subjects. Others avoid this type of tattoo work – some find it boring and repetitious. If your artist is not enjoying himself, I believe the tattoo he gives you will reflect that. Not that they have to love the design you picked, just the general style you are looking for.

If you have a fondness for Celtic work, you should visit the web site of the artist, Pat Fish, who is well known in the tattoo community. She even sells her Celtic designs now - Tattoo Art Designs by Pat Fish.
