Ancient Tattoos?

[LawMan018]

I've been trying to google it but many are just wannabe tattoo designs... I want a tattoo that you know, ancient warriors donned and stuff. I have a Scottish/Irish descent and am kind of interested in Celtic designs but again, they all look too modern. I know how they used woad and made intricate designs on them, and well, I don't wanna use woad, but I would make the tattoo blue. I just want like, a celtic design of a wolf tattooed on my shoulder or Bicep/Tricep area. You know, one that could have possibly been used in times of old. Anyone know of any sights that have pictures or what not?

Basically what I'm looking for and want is a wolf, but drawn in the "celtic" manner and blue

I feel like a loser for posting the first two responses to one of my bulletins but whatever, lol. I'm suddenly intrigued by tattoos, and well, I probably only want one and it'll take me awhile to find that "special" one but... Which place on the body do you think it looks good to have a tattoo? You know, something that's not big and ugly, but you know nice size, people can see it... I'm thinking arm but ionno...

I like arm going on to upper chest. I have been looking through tattoo designs for quite some time and have not seen any celtic wolves. You may have to go to a good free hand tattoo artist and he'll sketch some designs out for you.

Well I did find three but they were not wolves... They were taken from The Book of Kells which is, I believe, the greatest source of information they've found on the Celts. They are hounds (dogs) and the one I like is the three chasing eachother. Since hounds were such an important symbol in Celtic society they have a lot of meaning. The three chasing eachother stand for Loyalty, Protection, and Health.
