Irish Tattoo designs:
It was the Celts and the Vikings who used to tattoo themselves with intricate knotwork, zoomorphic animals and spirals. Zoomorphic animals were more elaborate and somewhat complicated especially because of the intertwined limbs of these animals.
Even though the Celts and the Viking brought tattoos with them but the Shamanistic belief system of animism allowed tattoo designs to stay much more diverse. However, as mentioned that the Irish people converted from the Shamanistic belief system but despite this conversion they still believed in other heavenly creatures and elves – sprites and leprechauns.
Leprechauns, in particular, were more popular since they were featured in most of the Irish folklores, fables and myths. This popularity of sprites and leprechauns contributed towards making them one of the best Irish tattoo designs.
