Saint Brendan the Navigator, the brave voyager who sailed all the way to the Americas in a cowhide boat. Patron saint of all those who journey over the waves. The saint's depiction in the tattoo is a copy of an old wooden chair found inside the Cathedral of St. Brendan in Clonfert, Ireland. Around it are Pictish spirals representing the waves he journeyed over.
Nordic Serpent Dragons Arm Band Tattoo Design
A band of traditional Swedish serpent-dragons form a Nordic arm band, inter-weaving and inter-connecting. This Swedish CoastGuardsMan found this archival woodcarving of looping Nordic dragons that I adapted to live in skin as his latest tattoo.
Memorial Beach Scene
Session one for a memorial beach scene for a beloved mother who raised cocker spaniels and loved to take them to the beach. Color will follow. When he raises his arm the dog lifts its head.
Survivor Symbol Celtic Tattoo Design
A potent symbol of the unity of the two religions of the Celtic world, this Christian triquetra joined with the Druidic spirals represents the survival of the native religion when joined with the new. One did not conquer the other, they grew together in united strength by combining their symbols. Goddesses became Saints, holy places continued, Life abides.
