Rosary Tattoo

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 Tattoos

Celtic tattoo and the Claddagh tattoo are popular here at Tattoo Connection. 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?

Celtic Cross and Cancer Ribbon

Celtic crosses are very popular tattoos. This black and grey cross will always remind the collector of someone that has lost their fight with cancer.

Carved From Stone, Celtic Cross Tattoo

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.

Celtic Additions and Traditions in Tattooing

 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..

Irish Themes in Tattoos

 In our great country USA we are made up of immigrants from all around the world, which leads us to some of our tattoo themes. Celebrate your heritage by getting a meaningful tattoo for yourself.

Bring on the Celts!

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.

Dropkick Murphys Inspired Tattoo

The Irish keep on coming! From Celtic Cross Tattoos and Celtic dragons, and now the Dropkick Murphys. What inspires you? Find out and ink it in your skin.

The Celtic Cover Up

This was a first for me, using celtic tattoo designs to cover up an armband tattoo. Tattoo cover ups are always a challenge, not something to take liightly. Plan out your next tattoo and avoid the need for a tattoo removal or cover up.

Oh The Irish!

A spiritual Irish prayer to ispire the wearer of the bold tattoo.
