A unique form of Pictish design found on the carved stones in Scotland is the Key Pattern. This intricate sleeve tattoo pattern is designed by replicating a small section of the carvings on the Maiden Stone, a 9th century Pictish Standing stone in Aberdeenshire. The key pattern was then morphed (hence keymorphic) to spiral around the arm. A tribal pattern from an ancient Northern European Tribe, the wild and heavily tattooed Picts.
