Today a man decided it was time to increase his tattoo collection with this complex and ambitious piece. Combining Celtic knot work with a Celtic cross with a central sword, it gives the impression of a chain mail body armor sleeve with the focus of a heraldic symbol.
The Knight's Cross is here surrounded by a half-sleeve of knot work, specifically shaped in an arch to fill the arm above a short sleeve line. It can be placed above a band, and thus fill the entire upper arm, or be used alone to fill the front side of the arm.
