Irish influences, interpreted for your tattoo
From botanical references to knotwork and folklore.
Ireland offers plenty of starting points: a three-leaf shamrock, a familiar landscape, a manuscript detail or a piece of folklore. You might have a connection to the subject, or be drawn to its shape and history. Tell us what interests you.

Choosing the reference
Share the plant, pattern or symbol you have in mind. Photographs and drawings help identify the details, particularly where a specific form or meaning matters to you.
We’ll discuss scale and placement. Knotwork and ornament need clear space between lines, and your artist will explain how that affects size.

An influence, with room for interpretation
Irish subjects can be approached through colour realism, fine line, illustration or blackwork. Browse the portfolios to see how those approaches differ.
If your tattoo is part of a visit to Ireland, send your dates with the enquiry. Wait for written appointment confirmation before arranging travel for the work.
Questions about Celtic designs
Questions you may have
01Can my tattoo be based on Celtic or Irish inspiration?
Yes. Share the specific symbol, plant, pattern or reference you like. If its meaning matters to you, include it so your artist can consider that when developing the drawing.
02Can a knot or symbol be small?
The lines and open spaces need room to remain clear. Your artist will discuss an appropriate size, or a simpler interpretation if you prefer a smaller piece.
03Can I book while visiting Ireland?
You can enquire with your travel dates. Availability and preparation depend on the project, so wait for written appointment confirmation before arranging travel for it.
04Can I use a photograph as inspiration?
A photograph can show the reference or kind of imagery you like. It guides a new composition for you, rather than copying another person’s tattoo.
