Astronomical Celtic Swirls Tattoo Design
This #carving of two #spirals is on a very #ancient-gravestone inside #Quinn-Abbey on the #West-Coast-of-Ireland, and I cannot explain it. I think it is #astronomical in nature, and I'd like to think it marks the #grave of a particularly #holy-monk who watched the #heavens. The spirals have a great #optical quality, like a #moire-pattern. #spiral-tattoo #stone-carving #stone-carving-tattoo #Ireland #Ireland-tattoo #Irish-tattoo
