Tattoo Designs From Ancient IrelandCeltic  tattoos have experienced a massive revival in recent years. The history  of the Celtic people goes back thousands of years. The early Celts  displayed their skills in complex artwork particularly metal, jewelry  and weapons as they were regarded as fierce warriors by the Romans.  Evidence of 
Celtic crosses and 
Celtic artwork can still be found all  over Ireland.
Modern Celtic peoples have evolved symbols for  themselves, and North Americans of 
Celtic descent often wear these  symbols to show their Celtic origin. The ancient Celts passed knowledge  down through an oral tradition of storytelling and didn't keep many  written records, consequently, there is little evidence of their  tattooing remaining even though 
Celtic cross tattoos and Celtic know 
 tattoos are very popular designs.
