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.
