Key characteristics include interlaced knotwork where lines weave over and under each other without beginning or end, spirals, and stylized animals or figures. Authentic Celtic design has mathematical precision-the weaving follows consistent rules.

Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.

The wrist offers a compact area that suits fine-line work, small symbols, and script. Its visibility means the tattoo becomes part of daily life, always in the wearer's line of sight.
