designs; Cross, Knots, Spirals, Claddagh, Trinity, Shamrock, Zodiac,
Clover and Tree of life. Unfortunately, Celtics had not recorded meaning

Interpretative meanings circulating in the present world is based on
Celts myth, may not be exactly as the way Celts thought.
Celtic cross: After the Celts were invaded by Romans, Celtic polytheism
turned to Celtic Christianity and thus Celts traditional worship symbol
of the circular sun was also forced to impose a cross on it, to show the
supremacy of Christianity over sun. Celtic cross tattoo are preferred
by spiritual lovers who believes it as a symbol of eternity and
construing four arms of cross as Earth, Water, Air and fire which are
necessity for eternity.
Celtic knots: Intricate Celtic knot profiles are carved in church tops
and in floor mosaics make it so artistic. This inter woven knots have
neither start nor end and its knot can be either simple or with flower,
butterfly and other birds. Celtic knot tattoos are best to be tattooed
in ankle, leg and arms. However, girls prefer to get it inked on the
lower back. Mostly knots are inked in black and other colors such as
blue, green and golden yellow are also used in the design.
