Embellished Tree of Life Celtic Tattoo Design stag An ancient carved stone cross

An ancient carved stone cross located in the Braddan Kirk churchyard in Maughold

The circle which encompasses the pattern is a symbol for completeness and also represents the sun

and Irish girls know there is a horse born of the mists of the Western sea that can carry them to Tir n'Og

now it can be a tattoo band forever on the arm or leg of a member of our free democratic society

IHS =  Jesus
