Inked Irish Pride

Celtic and Irish Tattoos Celebrate St. Patrick's Day Year-Round

— March 17, 2009 — Lifestyle
I thought it would be rude not to celebrate St. Patrick's day with a Cowbag classic trend: Tattoos. This selection of patriotic Irish inking shows off some of the most pro-Ireland tattoos about. These range from traditional designs such as Celtic bands to more avant-garde ones such as the horse.

Personally, I love the horse shoe and luck of the Irish tattoo--but surely that is tempting fate.
