Tattoo Designs From Ancient Ireland

Tattoo Designs From Ancient Ireland
Celtic tattoos have experienced a massive revival in recent years. The history of the Celtic people goes back thousands of years. The early Celts displayed their skills in complex artwork particularly metal, jewelry and weapons as they were regarded as fierce warriors by the Romans. Evidence of Celtic crosses and Celtic artwork can still be found all over Ireland.

Modern Celtic peoples have evolved symbols for themselves, and North Americans of Celtic descent often wear these symbols to show their Celtic origin. The ancient Celts passed knowledge down through an oral tradition of storytelling and didn't keep many written records, consequently, there is little evidence of their tattooing remaining even though Celtic cross tattoos and Celtic know tattoos are very popular designs.

 For the first half century after tattooing became commonplace there were few tattoos for girls. In fact, except for the small handful of rebellious women, many girls got tattooed at all.
  But, all of that changed about twenty five years ago when tattooing became more socially acceptable, largely due to the many celebrities who publicly sported tattoos. Some of these were women, and so the girl tattoo became more common and acceptable. Nowadays you see a whole genre of tattoos for girls. I would say the list of the top tattoos for girls would have to include butterflies tattoo, fairies tattoo, stars tattoo, hearts tattoo, flowers tattoo, dolphins tattoo and fish tattoo. But other popular tattoos for girls are tribal tattoo, Celtic tattoo and Zodiac tattoo designs. And the prime location for these tattoos would be the wrist tattoo, leg tattoo, lower back tattoo and even the breast tattoo. The tattoo in the picture is a perfect example of a tattoo for girls. It features a butterfly tattoo that is done with plenty of color and shading. It’s placed on this women’s breast in just the perfect position to highlight both the design and the natural curvature of her breast. I bet if you put your mind into it you could also find a design that fits your style and body shape.

Finding the perfect tattoo art work for your body can be quite a bit of a challenge especially when you know that the design you choose is going to stay with you forever. The last thing you would want to do is to select a tattoo design which you thought looked great at the moment, but regret having it later.

So how does one go about selecting a tattoo design? Trust me when I say that going with your instincts is not really a great idea as it may seem at first. Selecting a tattoo design within an hour (or less) of walking into a tattoo parlor is something most people regret later. You need to be sure of the design art you select for your body.

My advice to people getting a tattoo has always been to select a design or artwork and then give it some time to sink in. It is only after a day or two or more of selecting a tattoo design that you'll know whether you really want it or not. The best way to go about it is to browse through tattoo art galleries available online or at your local tattoo parlor, get a copy or printout of it and think about it for a couple of days. If after a few days, you are bored of the design or worse, can't stand to look at it anymore, then it's safe to assume that specific design is not for you.

Why Get An Angel Tattoo Or Tribal Tattoo Design?

Why Do YOU Tattoo?

People representing all walks of life choose to tattoo, but like snowflakes, no two tattooing “stories” are the same.

For instance, many individuals decide to tattoo as a result of a major life event.  They get divorced, get married, have a child, start a relationship, graduate from college, or lose a precious loved one.  As an outward depiction of their inner emotions (which may be either positive or negative), they add a new dimension to their bodies in the form of tattoo designs. 

However, not all tattoos are the culmination of a tragedy or exciting experience.  Some are simply a fun reminder of a “what the heck” moment.  On vacation, a couple is walking by a tattoo parlor and they spot fun tattoo designs displayed in the window.  Eyebrows raised and smiling slyly, they look at one another… and walk into the tattoo shop to do something “outrageous” and utterly spontaneous.  In an hour, they come out; grinning from ear-to-ear and sporting twin tattoos… something they might never have done had they been at home.

Another common reason for tattoos is the influence of alcoholic beverages.  It’s no secret that many tattoos are the result of a night visiting bars or partying with friends.  Usually, the person who awakens with a headache and a beautiful tattoo design is bewildered at first (and perhaps a little angry with him- or herself), but the tattoo usually becomes a great conversation starter.

Finally, there are numerous people of both genders who tattoo to make a statement about themselves and the world around them.  They tattoo in unusual places – their faces, their upper necks, and their genitalia.  Or they pick tattoo designs that are political or emotional in nature, intended to “shock” the folks who see them.  For these guys and gals, tattoos are much more than decorations.

So… why do YOU tattoo?
