St Patrick's Celtic Cross Tattoo Design celtic To make the design suitable

To make the design suitable for tattooing I carefully simplified it

and every living thing drowned in the flood

or in black alone

so complex

one life lived in service and courage

St Patrick's Celtic Cross Tattoo Design celtic To make the design suitableSt Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland, and this high cross is erected over his grave. In this classic pattern are all the elements that make a true Celtic cross: the intricate knotwork in the arms and the inner circle, and the wheel representing the cycle of all life. As a tattoo this high cross image unites the wearer with the heritage that is the Isle of the Blessed.
