Tattoos can be dated back to between the fourth to fifth millennium BC, in the Alps.

Some tattoos were also found in Egypt and dated back to the second millennium BC.

Further examples of early tattoos were found on many Pre-Christian groups including the Picts, a confederation of Celtic tribes living in what was later to become eastern and northern Scotland. The Picts were tattooed with dark blue designs.

Celtic Design Tattoos

Celtic design tattoos have experienced a massive revival in recent years. The history of the Celts goes back thousands of years. The early Celtic people displayed their skills in complex artwork and were regarded as fierce warriors by the Romans. Influences for Celtic design tattoos and evidence of Celtic crosses and Celtic artwork can still be found all over Ireland.

Modern Celtic people have evolved symbols for themselves, and North Americans, of Celtic descent often adorn Celtic design tattoos to show off their Celtic origin. The ancient Celts passed knowledge down through an oral tradition of storytelling and didn’t keep many written records. Consequently, there is little evidence of their actual Celtic design tattoo preferences remaining even though Cross Celtic design tattoos and Knot Celtic design tattoos are very popular designs.
