I find large scale Celtic tattoos to be one of my favorite challenges. I prefer to work with the zoomorphic or animal designs over just the knot work alone- they tend to allow for more interesting and effective flow on the body. I also love to mix other design elements with the knot work- in this case, some Tibetan inspired flames add color and more layers to the piece.
This tattoo was done over a single summer in maybe 5 sessions, which was a testament to the toughness and determination of my client( and maybe some on my part, too!). I plan on showing this particular Celtic tattoo in it’s various stages of completion, from sketches, sizing and tattoo phases to completion, so if you are interested, check back and look for that installation in the next month or so.
Cheers!
Brenda
