Ouroboros Tattoo with Celtic Beast Design military. a bird and a monkey

a bird and a monkey surround a central knot and make of themselves a puzzle of interlaces

A tattoo for those who hear the call of their heritage in the sound of the harp

it traces a sinuous path only to return to the center of meaning and faith

All tattoos are done by appointment

It is taken from the border of Folio 84 verso of the Book of Durrow

Ouroboros Tattoo with Celtic Beast Design military. a bird and a monkeyThe powerful alchemical symbol of the serpent eating its own tale is here rendered in intricate knot work and with the head of a Celtic beast from the 9th century Book of Kells. A tattoo harkening to ancient wisdom, an ouroboros represents time coiling in upon itself, quantum theory and the implosion of the universe in one eloquent circle.
