In a small graveyard in Scotland this cross stands mute testimony to the many who have died in wars foreign and domestic

that is linked into an epaulette of knotwork that curves to fit the shoulder

Finishing it all out to a complete half sleeve is a band of knot work brought up to pull it all together seamlessly and go all the way around under the arm

and the choice to use color as a background or a matrix of dots between the knotwork weaves

covering the skin with a light tracery of knots

Watchers Celtic Raven Tattoo Design woodpecker In a small graveyard inTwo ravens, ever alert, shaped to sculpt across the musculature. Knotwork in the wings and central triangle mirror the woven beaks, for an integrated and dynamic whole. This pattern is based on an original design by the talented Welsh artist Jen Delyth, adapted for use as a tattoo. Sold here with her permission. Two versions will be included, a wider and thinner form, to fit different parts of the body.
