Earlier this week I was asked by a good friend of mine to come up with a tattoo design inspired by the Celtic tree image. What I came up with was something less connected and more organic in nature implying the circle as well as only having trace hints of "life" in the tree of life. This is important because while the imagery of the tree implies life, truthfully such a mythological tree could be strangled and weathered and even broken under the strain of true life. While it still blooms, its form is now bent in such a way that its horrible truth is also its beauty.
