The Celtic Irish cross tattoo has a long history dating back over many centuries in the British Isles. The original Irish cross tats was designed with two equal lengths of cross beams representing the four main elements of the planet; earth, wind, fire, and water. When the this kind of tattoo is seen today it is often embellished with detailed geometric, and swirl designs of vines, or flowers, called Celtic Knots. The center circle on the cross beams of the this cross tattoo is a symbol of life revolving in an eternal plane of existence, surrounded by the four natural elements.
Modern tattoo artist love the intricate details of the Celtic knot patterns on the Irish cross tattoos. With their small patterns that are connected like amaze, the artist has a chance to shoe off his intricate detail work as a true artisan. People love the Irish cross tattoos for their beauty and variety. This tattoo is also one of the few intricate designs that can look wonderful in a small size, or a large one, and still be a complex design.
Their appeal to both men and women is their diversity as both an intimate Irish cross tattoo, and a complex bold tribal tattoo. Since the cross Irish were in existence long before the Holy Cross symbolism, became the normal connotations' of the cross design, its Pagan roots are the perfect background for other beliefs and totems. Saint Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland, and drove the snakes out, by blessing a Celtic Standing Stone, which bore the sacred symbol of the Celtic cross. This was the beginning of the crossing of the Pagan and Christian use of the this cross in Ireland.
The delicate Knot work of these has no beginning and no end, when it is applied correctly; this too represents the never-ending circle of life on earth. The Druids believed that all of life is connected through the four elements and they often placed the Irish cross on the warriors and chiefs of the clans of Ireland to protect them during battle from enemies both mortal and supernatural.
The modern tattoo o crosses is not always depicted with the four equal points of the cross; the Christian influence has almost eradicated the elemental representation. Yet the Irish Cross Tattoo remains a popular tattoo across the world.
I have to say that woman and tattoo art establishes a fruitfully promising compatibility towards one another. It brings out the inner aphrodisiac in all men. At least I would hope so. It all starts off with a sensual lady walking across the glossed wooden floor with black high heels on with the illustration of an enticing tribal dragon on her left calve which isn't too big or too small, but just right!
Yes people! She's walking with an attitude implementing that "I know what I want" stride! The very idea of that just turns a person on! If you were to get a tattoo of a dragon, I think that would be an awesome first choice! However, lets delve into the meaning of the DRAGON.
My perception of dragon, is the uncanny will to domineer the masses with a little sexual tincture to add to his or her delight. The image of a dragon also illustrates cultural Ninjitsu and it's disciplinary properties in the martial arts world. Dragon is quality of being and self improving industrial strength within the spiritual and mental aspect of life.
When I think about women, I think of a mirror image of roses, so why not incorporate flower art, or even a BEAUTIFUL TRIBAL FLOWER onto her body! Sure, there are many flowers and Roses to choose from, but only one can uniquely describe you! Roses are the reflection of passionate romance that lingers with a robust and uplifting scent that satisfies the mood. Some women like to have this sort of art sitting on top where her left or right chest begins. Maybe would even include a stem down there for an interesting and spontaneous surprise!
So you want to find your inner self? Maybe with the incognitos of a dragon, or a sweet sensual delicacy of a flower. The gateway to the fantasy realm of tattoo body art doesn't have to end here. Determining your specifics in a tattoo is very important, like finding the right lover that can please your every need. Because I know you wouldn't want to rush into a decision that you would end up regretting! Good Luck and happy browsing!
All kinds of tattoos! Get the tattoo of your dreams!

Tattooing has indeed grown more and more popular over the years. Where before it was shunned by the general public and considered weird, suspicious, and even evil, today it has become one of the most popular forms of art and personal expression. This surge in popularity posed a challenge for tattoo artists to widen the range of designs available in order for tattoos to become more appealing to people from all walks of life. Needless to say, they have risen to the challenge quite effortlessly. There are now countless tattoo designs for you to choose from, and these designs have been grouped into specific categories to make the choice a lot easier for you to make. Celebrity names and faces, cartoon characters and flowers are all popular tattoo designs, but perhaps nothing beats the pervasiveness and timeless appeal of tribal tattoos. What, exactly, makes tribal designs so popular? To what particular factor can its allure be attributed?
First off, tribal tattoos are very striking. Made up mostly of solid black lines and curves, it has the inherent tendency to catch attention and invite curiosity. Most people who see tribal tattoos are immediately drawn to the challenge of deciphering what the tattoo means, which makes it doubly attractive. Furthermore, tribal designs are very versatile. You can choose a preexisting design and use it merely as a base to create your own unique tribal tattoo. You can also fashion a tribal design to convey any meaning that has personal significance to you. But perhaps the best thing about tribal tattoo designs is that they can be very flexible. You can provide feedback while in the process of having a tattoo inked, and the artist can actually make adjustments to your chosen design as you go along. To accomplish this, it is best that you choose an experienced tattoo artist who is good at working freehand.
The versatility and flexibility of tribal tattoos is such that you can even combine it with other themes and still get attractive body art out of the fusion. For example, you can ask the artist to turn a simple playing card motif into an intricate tribal design by incorporating the bold lines and stripes into the basic artwork. But, of course, combining tribal designs with other themes and motifs requires a lot of taste and discretion as well. No matter how versatile tribal tattoos are, it will never look stylish when combined with Bugs Bunny or Betty Boop. But then again, this statement might just challenge a tattoo artist out there into actually making an attractive Bugs Bunny tribal design.
So now we know why tribal tattoos are still very popular, and how they have stood the test of time. It is strikingly attractive, versatile enough to place anywhere on your body, and flexible enough to design freehand. In fact, no other tattoo design can claim the distinction of being stylish no matter where it is located. You can even wrap a tribal tattoo around your limbs and it will still look elegant and alluring. It also looks good whether you choose to have it done in smaller sizes or go for the grander schemes.

Back in the early '90s, tribal tattoos became huge when metal bands donned their arms with tribal wrap-around designs. Today, it's not just tribal armbands- it's back tattoos, stomach and chest tattoos and even tribal ankle tattoos that are big news in the tattoo world. Each carries it own significance that can be very personal to the tattoo wearer.
What do you think of when you hear "tribal" tattoo? Most people think of the classic jagged wavy tribal design that heralded the 1990s tattoo craze. Contrary to popular belief, there are many different tribal designs available. Many ill-informed tattoo "beginners" simply aren't aware of the various designs. As a result, many settle with the tribal armband. With a little exploration, you can find a diverse collection of tribal tattoos that use the curves of the human body as its canvas.
Tribal tattoos all have the several things in common: predominance of dark ink throughout entire design, gratuitous use of wavy lines and circles, and the use of non-solid design for pictures. All of these elements give tribal tattoos a very unique identity. Where traditional tattoos are prided on strong detail and color, tribal tattoos seek the ultimate simplicity and ambiguity.
Tribal tattoos can be further split into two categories: pictorial and abstract tribal art. Pictorial tribal tattoos use the wavy and circular lines to show a picture. Pictorial tribal tattoos usually depict an animal or fish, the most common being birds, snakes, cats and dolphins. Pictorial tribal tattoos are great because it can take a while to truly see the animal under the tribal design. Abstract tribal tattoos are completely ambiguous- they do not form a specific animal or picture. Abstract tribal tattoos have the advantage of mystery and can be easily changed if you want something different later on.
Tribal Tattoo Animals: Which one's for you?
If you want a pictorial tribal tattoo, you're next challenge is to decide what animal or creature you want to depict. Maybe you already have an idea of what you want. Or, maybe you're completely lost. Don't worry- we'll set you straight about the most common tribal animals and their common meanings.
One of the most popular tribal animals is a hawk or bird. In almost all cultures, a hawk is recognized for wisdom, knowledge, prophecy and rightful war. Another very popular animal is the cat. A jaguar is seen as the harbinger of power and messages from the gods. The lion is associated with the sun, majesty, power and courage against adversity. Yet another popular animal is the snake, partly due to its spiraling design. The snake symbolizes reincarnation, fertility and good luck. Finally, dolphins are also very popular. Dolphins represent kindness, purity, redemption and intelligence.

Tribal tattoos are the most popular tattoo designs around today. Just look at the amount of searches in Yahoo for this type of design. Last month there were over 64,000 searches. Some say you need to increase that by 7 to 8 times to get the number of searches in Google, giving around 500,000 searches. That's a lot of interest.
Why are tribal tattoo designs so popular?
Tribal tattoos mean different things to different people but their appeal cuts across all boundaries - the boundaries of time, race, creed, sex and age. They have been around for centuries. It is reported that tribal tattoos were found on the mummified remains of a Bronze Age man who died over 5,000 years ago. The tattoos were of mythical creatures.
Cultures from every corner of the globe have practiced the art of tattooing, including the North American Indians, Maori, Polynesians, Samoans, Africans, Egyptians, Hawaiians and the Tahitians to name a few.
The general practice of getting a tattoo is popular these days, as it allows people to express a personal freedom and also a uniqueness, that defines them as a person and helps them express who they are. The tribal tattoo in particular is popular because of the mystery behind this form of tattoo and because the tattoo links you with other wearers, giving you a sense of belonging.
This style of tattoo is becoming a popular favorite of women as well as men. It looks great on the lower back, and some women have the tribal tattoo design wrap around their hips. The shoulder is also popular, as the tattoo can be shown, if desired by wearing a tank top.
