Tribal Celtic Tattoo Designs
by Luke J. Slyvester
It is common for anyone who is picking a tattoo to have to go through a series of tattoos which were traditionally tattoos which belonged to many different tribes. For tattoo artists, who know what is often popular among their clients, having tribal tattoo designs is extremely important.
Tribal tattoos used to be specifically that. They were used by many different tribes in their initiations, rites, and everyday life. The tattoos allowed other members who had left, or those of another tribe, to see who belonged to what tribe. Although that use is not valid in our modern western society, tribal tattoos are still popular.
There are other reasons why these tribal tattoo designs were also used, and this is for certain occasions. In some tribes, a right of passage, such as the changing from childhood to adulthood, is marked by a tattoo, showing that they are now man or woman, rather than boy or girl. There are also occasions when these are actually wedding tattoos. Usually, a wedding tattoo will be a tribal style band, which denotes everlasting love and fidelity.
The most popular form of tribal tattoo in today’s society is actually the Celtic tribal tattoo design. Or, to be more specific, the tattoos which were commonly used by druidic practitioners in Celtic tribes.
The Druids would use the tattoos during their spells and incantations. These Celtic tattoo designs were said to be magically potent and highly powerful, and were key to druidic ceremonies. They were even sometimes the actual thing which would activate the spells. Perhaps this is why the lure is so large.
As is the lure with the Celtic tribal tattoo design of the Celtic cross. A cross which is entirely made from intricately woven lines, this is perhaps the most popular tattoo design of modern day.
