Personally, I think that a traditional Celtic design look
really cool as forearm tattoos.
The term Celts is used to describe
any of the European peoples who spoke, or speak, a Celtic
language.
Celtic history literally goes back
thousands of years. In Britain, by the early first millennium
AD, following the expansion of the Roman Empire and the
invading European warriors, such as the Angles of Northern
Germany, the Celtic culture had become restricted to the
extremities of the British Isles - mainly Cornwall, Wales,
Ireland and Scotland, which is where the of the Celts
has survived, carved into standing stones and stone tombs
as well as being discovered on pottery fragments and ornaments.
Elsewhere in Europe, Celtic areas
refers to Brittany (France), Galicia (NW Spain), Northern
and Central Portugal and Asturias (Northern Spain).
The early Celts displayed their skills
in Celtic art forms such as metal, jewelry and weapons.
Typically, Celtic art (and therefore
Celtic Tattoos) is ornamental, avoiding straight lines
and only occasionally using symmetry.
For people of Celtic heritage, getting
a Celtic tattoo design is often a way of expressing pride
in ones heritage.
The most popular design searches
for Celtic Tatoos include:
Celtic cross tattoo designs (a symbol
that combines a cross with a ring surrounding the intersection)
Celtic knotwork tattoos
