The swirls alone

A most ambitious combination of animals makes a tangle of lively spirits to fill an upper arm

As a tattoo this high cross image unites the wearer with the heritage that is the Isle of the Blessed

and a perfectly romantic statement

one will never lose one's way in storms or bad weather

Wolf Boar Celtic Torc Tattoo Design thistle The swirls aloneA powerful statement of connection to the Celtic warrior tradition, the torc is associated with the ancient Fianna, legendary mighty noble warriors. Like the Asian equivalent, the Samurai, they not only were skilled in the arts of combat, they were required to live by strict codes of honor, and to be poets and scholars as well. The torcs they wore set them above the common.
