The luck o' the Irish and their history in the form of Irish tattoos
The luck o' the Irish is the stuff of myth and legend, and
something those who are not Irish often find themselves drawn to.
Four-leaf clovers, leprechauns, and that elusive pot of gold all
indicate that Irish culture is steeped with enjoyable and indelible
folklore about luck. Irish tattoos are a way to keep yourself lucky
all the time!
The symbols of Ireland that we have come to know are often the
ones associated with luck and fortune. However, not every Irish
tattoo is about only luck. The shamrock, for instance, is one of the
most famous symbols of Irish culture, and is more about faith than
fortune. The shamrock, with its three leaves, represents the trinity
of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Of course, when a lot of people think of Irish tattooing, they
think of popular Celtic symbols like the Claddagh and the Celtic
cross, and the intricate knotwork that goes into these designs.
These make for beautiful tattoos because of the elegance of the
lines and the careful amount of detail that goes into the knots.
A tattoo of something Irish doesn’t have to be Celtic to be
meaningful and have a story behind it. There are many famous symbols
that have come to represent luck, which we can never have too much
of. It makes for a fun piece of body art, to walk around knowing
that the symbol on your arm or lower back -- or wherever you choose
to put it -- means that you'll have good luck.
