It’s the luck of the Irish! the Irish people have very cool folklore
which involves mystical things like lucky clovers, shamrocks, and
leprechauns. These motifs are found throughout tattooings, especially
(funnily enough) on a lot of Irish people! They are usually bright green
with orange parts, as is the Irish custom.
Both these tattoo
designs can easily be adapted to many sizes making it easy to get them
tattooed on any part of the body as per your desire or preference.
Though not many people get a Leprechaun tattoo, it is still something
that some people seek in their tattoo design.
Shamrocks and Clovers:
There is nothing that shrieks Celtic more than the Shamrock and clover.
These have been a part of day to day life for the people of Ireland for
many years. The Irish heritage comes through when you get a Clover or a
Shamrock tattoo, The Clover with the four leaves is something that is
known across the world and is really rare to come across one with four
leaves making it a rarity. The difference between the shamrock and
clover is that the shamrock has only three leaves while the clover has
four. Plus both of them signify different things. Since these are known
symbols especially in the circle of people who know about Celtic art,
many of the tattoos having these elements are done in Celtic style.
The
clover, apart from being popular with the Irish, is considered a sign
of good luck. You will have to look at about a 10000 shamrocks before
you can locate a clover. Hence this makes a popular tattoo done for good
fortune. With the four leaves on the clover, each one is supposed to
have deeper meanings. The first one signifies hope, the second one
denotes faith, the third one love and the fourth one is for luck. Some
people get the clover tattoo along with each word tattooed on each of
the leaves.
A
shamrock tattoo looks really striking when done in Celtic style. You
can add other Celtic elements to make this tattoo come together to suit
the choices of people. Many people of Irish origin lean towards Clover
and Shamrock tattoos.
The meanings and symbolism of Shamrock tattoo:
It could mean life and the hope that the new life brings. Strictly
speaking, it is not a religious tattoo but it does have a spiritual
undertone. People may get a shamrock tattoo for this reason or to show
off their roots. People also wear clover tattoos for luck and as a means
of touching base with their heritage. You could combine these with
Celtic style crosses and other art. The options in this regard are
endless plus you have many styles to choose from like simple, funny,
Celtic or tribal.
Tattoos with the leprechaun in them:
Leprechauns are the stuff of legends in Ireland. They are credited with
good luck and often you will see the leprechaun tattoo along with
clover. As per the legend, getting hold of a leprechaun will lead you to
the pot of gold that he has hidden away where the rainbow ends. But
since they are clever and quick, it is difficult to capture a
Leprechaun. They are also known for being tricky and creating mischief
for people. They are known to love drinking and picking up squabbles.
They can make an amusing and cute addition to your tattoo. Mostly
leprechauns have a lot of green in their attire.
You
can get a tattoo by combining all the elements – the clover, the
shamrock, the rainbow, the pot of gold and the leprechaun or work with a
combination of any of these elements to come up with a lovely tattoo
design. Some more examples for Clover, Shamrock and Leprechaun Tattoo are shown below:
