we can surmise that they would have copied the spirals found on contemporary stone carvings

but each has uniqueness

instead of having the round part float apart from its braid

The swirls alone

Celtic Band Tattoo with Scottish Design claddagh we can surmise that theyThe Scots are known to say "If it's nay Scottish, it's CRRRRAP." Well then! This traditional Highland weave is a tattoo pattern that enhances any arm. In some versions here it is shown with the background area filled in with the beautiful woad color of blue worn into battle by the Celt and Pictish warriors. The woad was a skin paint, but tattoos can now mimic it so that modern warriors can have the best of both, permanently.
