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.

The collarbone's clean horizontal line provides a natural guide for elongated designs. This placement adds a subtle accent to the upper body and works especially well with fine-line and minimalist styles.
