Celtic Tattoo Art
The Celtic tattoo art has its origins from the Celts who were very artistic people. Their men and women had body marks in form of tattoos and wore jewelleries while their women did a lot of body painting and hair dyeing. The Celts are commonly scattered these days in places like Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. The celtic tattoo is one of the most common tribal tattos and is very expensive with a price range of between $200 and $5000. Because of the complexity of a Celtic tattoo art, most tattooists would tell you that it is their most challenging work given its intricacies and curves.

This is why the most frequently seen Celtic tattoo art is the Celtic knot. Celtic tattoos are usually depicted by unending curves and spirals mostly ending in the head and tails of animals. Ideally, the curves or knots should never have an end. But these days, it is usually terminated at one point with an image, animal figure or an object.
The knots and spirals found in Celtic tattoos represent the bond between the material and spiritual world. It is usually said to denote that there is no difference or separation between the two worlds; that one is an ongoing phase of the other.
