hearken back to an ancient, mystical time.

make your tattooing experience all the more satisfying if you know
the meaning behind the design you’ve chosen. It can also help you
better choose the design that’s right for you.
Knotwork is a huge part of Celtic designs. Shapes that use the
knots represent something and are part of symbols meaning.
Celtic
Lady has a list of different shapes with intricate knotwork that
also explains the meaning behind the symbols. For instance, a dragon
knot symbolizes power and luck while a butterfly knot represents
rebirth.
Other shapes and symbols that are popular include the triskele,
which is related to pregnancy, the sun, and afterlife; the
triquetra, which is associated with the holy trinity; and the
spiral, a sign of rebirth. For more information on other symbols,
