Celtic shark tattoo
The ocean's apex predator — traditional Polynesian shark teeth patterns carry protection, while realistic and traditional sharks carry pure momentum. 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 shark carries protection (polynesian), fearlessness, forward motion — and Celtic's knotwork give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the calf, upper arm / bicep, ribs.
Same idea, other voices
Does shark work in Celtic?
