Celtic Knotwork

The meanings behind the Celtic knotwork tattoo designs

To the eye, the Celtic knot might come off as an endless cord intertwined together. Resembling a neverending string or rope. That is the difference between this knot and any other knot. No beginning or end resembles eternity, infinity, omniscience, omnipotence or omnipresence. In other words, no end in time, space, knowledge, power etc.

If getting this as a tattoo design, many people use those meanings as a guide to convey their dreams, goals, ambitions, etc. As mentioned earlier, these knots can have other differences.

One of the various types is the Trinity Celtic knot. It's a 3 cornered knot. It has 3 corners that have 3 curved lines connecting them. It can be drawn with more complexity by interweaving other knots into the pattern. This Celtic knot design is most widely accepted as a mystical or religious symbol. A Christian would probably refer to the 3 corners as The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. In pagan beliefs it may mean Mother, Crone and Maiden.

There is also a 4 cornered Celtic knot, called the quarterary knot. Since this design is so complex, it can be very complicated. As with most all Celtic knot designs the meaning can be a family heritage or crest. It may also be a symbol of good luck (is in the four leaf clover). Many believe that the 4 corners represent the elements: earth, wind, fire, and water. Other meanings for the 4 corners are... the 4 directions, the 4 books of the Gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) or even the 4 seasons.

After the Trinity Celtic knot came a similiar knot called the round knot. The round knot has the Trinity knot inside it with more more complex designs around it. The significance behind this knot can mean earth, fire and water.

All Celtic knot designs can be inked to fit into a special shape as well. Celtic knot designs can be found on multiple places such as tomestones, and stone crosses, doorways, etc. But the one thing that won't change about the Celtic knot is that it will always be just 1 solid line from beginning to end.

You will also see Celtic knots in a combination of several designs. Such as, circles in the Trinity design. Or even 2 designs interlaced together. If you are considering using a Celtic knot design for your tattoo, take some time to design artwork that means something to you. There are few rules and, with a little effort, you will come up with a tattoo you can be proud of.

I wish you the best in your selection of a great Celtic knot tattoo design.

These artists and their predecessors have been creating sarongs for centuries and are well-known for their skill, creativity and expertise, specifically their skills in batik.

It is an extremely difficult art to master and sons and daughters start this work at an early age because it requires a great deal of practice and patience. Each batik sarong is a work of art and can take hours and sometimes days to create depending on the difficult of the design.What is Worldstock?The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design.
