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.

Minimalist tattoos use clean lines and open space to convey meaning with as few elements as possible. The restrained approach keeps the focus on shape and composition rather than detail.

Ankle tattoos are subtle and easy to conceal with socks or footwear. The small canvas works best with compact designs, bands, or wrapping patterns that follow the joint's shape.
