People of strength
The Celts were warriors, feared for their fighting skills and ruthlessness. They were a tall, muscular people
who dyed their hair blond and painted their faces blue and appeared naked in battle. They stuck the
severed heads of their defeated foes over the outside of the doorways of their houses. They were said to go
to battle for the love of it, which made them sought after as mercenaries. The Romans and the Greeks
called them barbarians.
They were a tough, strong people.
Yet, with all this, they were also known for their chivalry and their courage. They built a reputation as fierce
warriors but, at the same time, they were artists, poets and musicians. They were skilled artisans as seen in
their metal and artwork. They developed an intricate knot work form of art that is uniquely theirs. Wearing
a Celtic tattoo connects you to this unique heritage.
