What to expect form our site!
We are have over 800 different, origional Celtic patterns on our site. Most of the designs will be from Shane Clark, but there will also be patterns from 2 other well known Celtic artists.
Imagine being able to mix and match any Celtic design that you can find. Imagine being able to ask an artist to draw exactly what you want so that you may get it tattooed properly. Not only will we mix and match your favorite designs into a tattoo for you, but also we have a giant collection of Celtic Tattoo Designs that are excellent for tattoos, or even your next craft project.
Celtic designs are hard to find that are specifically drawn for tattoo stencils. Most of the art (Knotwork) that is around has been drawn too close together to be used as tattoo stencils. These designs would bleed together if you got them tattooed. Truth is it is your responsibility. Do your best to get a design that will tattoo properly.
When you go to a tattoo shop, they most certainly want your money. There are tattoo shops in the world who will not tell you what is going to happen to a Knotwork design that has knots too close together to be tattooed. They will just tattoo you. Especially since Celtic style art is very hard and time consuming to draw. Finally, there is a place you can go to get a Celtic design that has been drawn specifically for a tattoo.
We are designing this site as a way to provide you with the information that you need when it comes to getting a Celtic style tattoo. Not only that, but we are dedicated to providing you with the information about each design and Celtic symbol meaning.
Getting Your Celtic Tattoo
If you are serious about getting a Celtic style tattoo, you need to keep a few things in mind. For a tattoo artist, giving a Celtic style tattoo is not easy. It is one of the most difficult things to tattoo and your tattooist will charge you extra for it.
Celtic patterns are difficult to tattoo. While the tattoo artist is tattooing your design, it is easy to cross a line. They do not get to go back and fix mistakes. Once a mistake is made, it is permanent. They do not get second chances. Celtic style designs can be hypnotizing too. An artist can get confused very easily.
For these reasons, we highly recommend that you do your homework. Take the time to do research on the artists in your area. Call the shops and ask them if they have experience tattooing Celtic designs. If they do, have a look at their portfolio. Check the lines carefully and make sure they have not crossed any. If you are getting a very complicated design, check the portfolio for complicated Celtic style tattoos. Just because a tattoo artist tattooed a simple Celtic piece in the past does not mean that he/she is capable of doing your design properly.
The last thing you want to do is settle for a cheaper artist when you are getting your design done. Cheaper does not mean better... and you pay for what you get. Higher priced tattoo artists are generally better than the lower priced ones. They know it and they charge more because of it... and they are worth paying for!
