'Trinity Band' Celtic Tattoo

Today's client requested a trinity knot as the central emphasis in a Celtic band. The use of a green accent color in the triangular knot and in the background in the band gives balance, and the shaded weaving knotwork flows through and unites the whole.

Water Lily Camouflage

Today a woman with several scars on her forearm came to have them covered. A combination of water lilies and dotted swirls follow along the scar lines and now she is freed from the disfigurement that has impacted her life.

'Inner Strength' Celtic Knot Tattoo

Today a young man came requesting extensive work on his upper arm and shoulder, as a start for forming an armor pouldron. For this first step we made this customized knot to represent his search for inner strength as he enters adulthood. He goes forward embellished, having passed through a rite of passage.

'Dragon Consorts' Celtic Tattoo

Today a happily married woman came requesting a tattoo of two dragons to represent herself and her husband. Centering it on her upper back gave me lots of room to work with, and I combined Nordic style heads with Celtic knotwork to make an overall heart-shaped silhouette. The knots in the neck on the left match a tattoo her husband has, so the dragons are balanced and complementary but not identical. Like their happy marriage, they are individuals within a One.
