Celtic knots are often used to represent the eternal nature of time and existence which is emphasized by the overall shape of the tattoo. Consistent line work and saturated portions of black help the aesthetic of this piece, despite the fact that it is unfinished.

Here is another tattoo that uses the mythical dragon along with Celtic knot work to create a striking piece. There is a lot going on in this tattoo. The precision on the knots is impressive, while the composition is interesting and attracts attention. The use of a knot in the background behind the dragon’s head gives the impression of a sun setting, while the interplay between the knots and scales adds a contrast in texture that is striking.

The Celtic cross and the warrior ghoul on the forearm are interesting elements. The artist was even able to sneak in a little bit of flames. While some might consider this piece a bit cluttered, there is no doubt about the quality of the work.

This retouch of an existing piece brings the old design back to life and gives the wearer years more pleasure from this interesting Celtic tattoo. The intricacy of the knot work is amplified by the consistency of the design and shape of the knots.

The use of brown shading gives a realistic feeling: it almost looks as if the tattoo is made of hammered bronze. The scale work behind the knots helps to solidify this look and is reminiscent of chain mail armor. The design is sound and it is great to see this tattoo brought back to brilliance by a skilled artist.

This Celtic sleeve uses multiple different design elements and knot styles to create an interesting and attention grabbing tattoo. The trinity knot, or Triquetra, at the top of the shoulder often represents family and the intertwined nature of the world. The design on the inside forearm is flower like and the four pointed knot, like the Celtic cross, often represents the unity of the four Cardinal directions.
