Chosen Family Knotwork Celtic Tattoo Design

Symbolizing the loyalty felt by friends, chosen family, the support and interconnectedness. This design begins with a Celtic knotwork triskelion, extended to spirals, that lets the inner knot be precise and the outer area express movement. Using tiny dots for the coloration gives an extra dimension of texture, or it can be rendered in bold tribal style.

Scottish Clan Badge custom art

The Scottish Clans have their own special form of heraldry, the Clan Badge or Buckler, functioning much like a family crest but including many families in a Clan. For this MacGregor man I encircled the badge with a ring of Celtic knotwork to make a proud statement on his chest.

I am available and eager to create custom pen-and-ink clan badge art suitable for framing for my fellow ethnic Scots. Or, of course, to create and install them in skin. Heirloom or permanent souvenir. Please inquire directly to commission.
