Celtic Tattoo Designs – symbols from a proud heritage
If you are looking for a tattoo that is both stylish and unique then you should really consider tattooing your body with some Celtic tattoo designs.
Most of these stunning designs originated in Scotland and Ireland and some of them date back many thousands of years. The Celts were fierce warriors and were intensely proud people, both of which are reflected in the amazing designs that they produced.
The two most famous designs are the Celtic knot and the Cross.
People with Irish, Scottish and Welsh ancestry are often found with Celtic tattoo designs as they believe them to be an expression of their lineage and heritage. There is a great pride among modern day Celts for the many Celtic tattoo designs as they believe it connects them to their ancestors.
The complexity of the designs can make them a daunting prospect for both the customer and the artist alike. Some of them can take up to 6 hours to complete.

The many strands of the traditional Celtic tattoo designs are often thought to represent the strands of life, faith and love whereas others represent the never ending cycle of life and death.
I hope that this small article has kindled your desire to have your very own Celtic tattoo inked. Although they can be complex and possibly even expensive to have done, the end result will stun you and your friends.

Deep Ancestry (Paperback) $21.97 The fossil record locates human origins in Africa, but little is known about the great journey that took Homo sapiens to the far reaches of the Earth. How did we, each of us, end up where we are? Why do we appear in such a wide array of different colors and features? Such questions are even more amazing in light of genetic evidence that we are all related–descended from a com- mon African ancestor who lived only 60,000 years ago. Thanks to new genetic testing methods, we now know that the greatest history book ever written is the one hidden in our DNA.In Deep Ancestry, geneticist and explorer Spencer Wells unravels the slight changes in our DNA over time to tell the ancient story of our shared human journey. He also details the current work of Genographic Project–the landmark study that will assemble the world`s largest collection of DNA samples to map how humankind populated the planet. He describes how the Project uses sophisticated computer analysis of DNA contributed by hundreds of thousands of people–including indigenous populations and the general public–to reveal man`s migratory history and to better understand the connections and differences that make up the human race. The narrative works backward, starting from today and gradually working its way to humankind`s common ancestors. From the beginning, the book taps into a reader`s interest in genealogy, family history, and ethnic identity. Most of us have a decent sense of our family history, but eventually we all hit a brick wall. DNA takes us beyond it, and this is the unifying theme that will lead us from the stories of the present into the realm of deep ancestry. Now in a thoroughly revised second edition, Deep Ancestry represents the very latest research on where we came from and relates it to our own personal quest to discover the deep ancestry behind our family genealogies and touch the depths of our common origins.For more information about the Genogr |
