Half Sleeve Tattoo, Celtic Father Knot Design trident -Henry David Thoreau

-Henry David Thoreau

designed to cover up a tribal band that covered a large area with very dark shapes

A grave rubbing from an ancient cross in Ireland is here translated into a tattoo

The design is a mandala of four intertwined hearts

The tattoo pattern sold will have all three bands seamlessly integrated into one knotwork whole to be installed as one piece

Half Sleeve Tattoo, Celtic Father Knot Design trident -Henry David ThoreauThe Celtic father knot forms the central element of this complex whole, with the weaves of the outer circle reaching in to represent the way generations of a family touch each other through time. A band at the bottom completes the half sleeve, wrapping and connecting under the arm.
