Religion plays a very big part for many people when selecting what they get tattooed. Starting with the Celtic Cross we wanted to have a free floating look to the beads of the Rosary. Classic tattoos like this one will be a focal point for the wearer for many years.
Vintage tattoos are a great link to the past, I often reproduce early tattoo designs with a newer and even a modern twist.
Celtic tattoo and the Claddagh tattoo are popular here at Rose City Tattoos. Here are a couple of examples of my black and grey style tattoo work. The Claddagh is worn as a sign of friendship and availability and even marriage. What does your ink say about you?
The very popular Celtic Cross Tattoo keeps me busy at Rose City Tattoo. Here is a recent example of my Celtic tattoo work. The design comes from the customer’s pendant that he has kept for many years. So now he has it tattooed to keep with him for the rest of his years, may they be many.

A little addition of a Celtic pattern armband to a delicate Harp tattoo on the inside of the arm. The past two years I have been doing a lot of interesting Celtic tattoo designs. Coming from an Irish background, this is pretty cool.
Tattooing has maintained its popularity over the years as new generations explore the ancient art. Studying the past of tattoo trends I have learned that tattoo designs come and go in cycles. Today with all the incredible talent in the tattoo industry the art has really exploded. After tattooing over 20 years, what once was a cottage industry it has gone beyond mainstream and cut across age and cultural borders.
Inspiration is all around us, I always find new inspirations to bring to my tattooing. One day I am doing cool black and gray Celtic design and the next an artful Disney character I am drawing for today’s tattoo..
It seems like not one day goes by without me doing a Celtic tattoo. These are the latest of my celtic creations. This cross is worn by one of our fine U.S. Army soldiers. Thank a soldier today! It is my honor to work for you!
Wow this was a little bit of an off shoot… we were not actually clear where this tattoo was going, but it certainly came out pretty cool.
