Celtic cherry blossom tattoo
Sakura: beauty precisely because it doesn't last. Branches drift across collarbones and ribs; single blossoms scatter through Japanese sleeves. In Celtic, that reads as: knots without end.

Interlaced knotwork, spirals and zoomorphic designs from insular art — patterns with no beginning and no end. Celtic work demands geometric discipline: every strand must weave over-under-over consistently or the knot breaks. Deep heritage for those who carry it.
A cherry blossom carries life's brevity, beauty in impermanence, renewal — and Celtic's knotwork give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the ribs, shoulder, forearm.
