The History of Celtic Tattoos

A Celtic Tattoo references a style of body art derived from the designs and symbols of ancient Celtic societies like the Iron Age Britons and the Gaelic Celts. These tattoos typically feature an intricate weave of knots, spirals, and loops inspired by the symbolic art forms of old Celtic manuscripts and stone carvings. Historically, they can represent strength, fearlessness, or a connection to nature. In the US, their popularity increased in the 20th century, primarily among those of Irish, Scottish, or Welsh descent seeking to express their heritage. Nowadays, they are appreciated for their unique aesthetic and rich historical significance.

Award Winning Austin, TX tattoo artist

I am Mike Metaxa, have been tattooing for over 20 years, living and working in Israel, Greece, and now the US.

I enjoy working in so many different styles. As far as a favorite, I don’t think I can say that I prefer one style over the rest. During the course of the same day, I could be doing a traditional tattoo followed up by a fantasy piece. With years of experience, I’d acquired a good knowledge of tattoo history and an understanding of various styles of tattooing. That allows me to blur borders between styles, which in turn, results in pieces that are as distinctive and unique as the personality of their owners.
