Who Would Have Though?

WHo would have ever thought that there was meaning behind tattoos and Celtic Tattoos Pictures...I mean I know it is a form of artwork and expression but when i see someone with a tattoo I never would have thought to think of the meaning behind the symbol.

So, if you want an excellent source for Celtic tattoos - you have to check out RankMyTattoos.com There is tons of information and pictures on the 100's of possible
tattoos not to mention the meanings that are behing them.
There is the Celtic Cross - sometimes called the wheel cross or ring cross. It first began to appear in artwork during the 5th century C.E. and still today is considered a symbol of Christianity - most likely from the pagen wheel symbol for the sun.


In the RankMyTattoos magazine one writer actually explores the history and meaning of these tattoos in Ireland today. For example - Knot work art of the Celts was made most famous from the Tree of Life. This is because it is a central axis symbol, it actually is suppose to connect the heaven with the earth. This symbolizes the growth of life and the annual change of seasons. It has intricate designs that influence tattoo enthusists to get such amazing tattoos!
