What is a Celtic Knot?
Celtic knots, known as 'endless knots' or 'mystic knots', are a series of overlapping or interwoven knots which have no clear beginning or end. This symbol looks like lines which wind and intertwine around each other. There can be just one line crossing back and forth on itself or several lines looping around each other.
The Celtic knot design can be used alone, with other symbols and within other Celtic symbols such as the Celtic cross and the Celtic butterfly.

Celtic Symbol Meanings
- Celtic Knot Meanings
- Celtic knot meanings, where did they come from and do they really mean anything at all?
- Celtic Symbols; Celtic Knots
- Celtic knot symbols date back to around 450 AD and richly characterise Celtic art and tradition. The Celtic knot is also referred to as the mystic knot or endless knot. Its basic characteristic of having neither an end nor a beginning, in fact, relates it to the theme of continuity and timelessness, while its interlacing feature suggests interconnectedness.
- Celtic Knot Symbolism
- People from many lands herald Celtic knotwork as the emblem of their heritage because the people known as "Celts" lived in many areas of modern-day Europe, spanning far beyond the shores of the Emerald Isle.
- Celtic Colours: Celtic Symbols and Meanings
- The interlacing lines of the Celtic Knot stands for "no beginning, no ending, the continuity of everlasting love and binding together or intertwining of two soul or spirits." Christianity has embraced much of the ancient Celtic symbolism and had adapted many Celtic Knots into high crosses and illuminated manuscripts

Find a Good Tattooist Before Getting a Celtic Design Tattoo
A Celtic knot tattoo design is a great tattoo to have when you are from a Celtic descent or not. Finding a tattoo artist capable of creating the tattoo should be decided upon only after researching who has done this type of tattoo before. The artist must have a good eye for detail and know where to place the lines and spirals in the correct location on the tattoo. Ask the artist how many Celtic tattoos he has done and have him show you actual examples from his portfolio.
Since the fine details and interlocking lines can be a nightmare for some tattoo artists this style of tattoo should be bigger rather than small. Allow for the artist to use the tattoo machine on a larger surface of your body to render this tattoo with solid lines that are larger so more intricacy can be achieved. Also, when you age your skin changes and the details in a small tattoo may become blurred or lost.
Once your tattoo artist is chosen the tattoo may take quite a long time which translates into discomfort for you for an extended period of time. The pain will be worth it when you know that you have chosen the correct decorative tattoo design for you and the design is meaningful to you.
