Celtic dragon tattoo
East or West, the dragon is power incarnate. Japanese dragons flow with the body over full sleeves; Western dragons bring medieval menace to backs and chests. 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 dragon carries power & wisdom, protection, good fortune (east) — and Celtic's knotwork give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the full sleeve, back, ribs.
