Since the summer Olympics starts tonight I thought I would do a little post about the Olympics. Strangely, enough I read an article claiming that some Olympic hopefuls have gone as far as inserting performance-enhancing drugs through their tattoos, hoping that this will help them win the gold. Apparently, if you insert  drugs through a tattoo needle it will increase the effectiveness of some drugs, which means athletes can take smaller doses and will ”fly under the radar” in dope tests. This is honestly something that I never would have even thought of.

Some research was done regaurding this in Germany with DNA vaccines. They came to the conclusion that delivering these vaccines via a tattoo needle was 16 times more effective than doing it the natural way of injecting it into a vein or muscle. The reason this method works is because the vibrating of the tattoo needle automoatically starts pereparing the body’s immune system, which then increases the body’s response to the drug. Experts are saying that this method of cheating is a little bizarre but they don’t put it past some athlete’s to actually try it.

If you ask me I think this idea is pretty brilliant, but there is one flaw to this cheating plan. It would be  very easy  to see if some athlete’s are doing this. I mean it will be pretty obvious that they just got a “tattoo” because the skin would be red and irritated. Not unless the drugs that they are using stay effective hours after inserting them. Nonetheless this method of inserting performance-enhancers is pretty interesting.

The history of the Celts goes back for thousands of years. The Celtic people were recognized far and wide for their first-class skills in jewelry, artwork, arms and even metalworking. Regarded as ferocious battlers by the Romans, they were warriors from top to bottom. Throughout Ireland and the coastline of England you can see top-notch examples of Celtic artwork and Celtic crosses.

Over time, modern Celtics developed and established symbols for themselves along the way. Celtic people in Northern America are known to display Celtic symbols to allow others to know that they have Celtic descent. Celtic symbols and knowledge have been passed down through the ages as their is little recognized written history retained today. Tatooing however, keeps Celtic traditions alive with the notorious Celtic cross and other common Celtic designs.

The bulk of Celtic tatoo designs and artwork come from Ireland where the history of the Celts is still very strong to this day. In Trinity College Dublin, Ireland you can see lots of documentation in manuscripts on Celtic symbols and heritage. Celtic tatooing reached its peak at about the same time that metalwork and stone work became highly desired.

Celtic knot tatoos are amongst some of the most favorite and most common designs, sporting loops with no end that symbolise a ne’er ending cycle of death and rebirth. There are also Celtic animal tatoo designs as well, which are similar in design to the knot tatoos, although the cords in the design commonly terminate in feet, tails or heads. Unless the person having the tatoo requests an end to the Celtic design to make a spiral then the Celtic knot tatoo design is usually ne’er ending.

The proper meaning of the intricate knots found in Celtic tatoos resists all type of literal translation and its significance is found at a far deeper level. The complexity of the knots shows the persistent crossing of both physical and spiritual elements. The strands and their ne’er ending path are a favorite design for Celtic tatoos, symbolizing life, faith, and love. Used for heritage as well as emotional purposes the Celtic people have used these tatoos for many years.

People who come from a Celtic lineage, Scots, Irish or Welsh, commonly find a Celtic tatoo to be a good way to express their heritage pride. As well as giving tribute to their roots these tatoos help to re-establish pride in their long history. The tatoos arent simple to do, most taking several hours. Unlike other tatoo designs, Celtic tatoos are amongst the toughest designs in the world.

If you come from a Celtic ancestry and have decided to get a Celtic tatoo, the first thing to do is find an artist capable of doing the tatoo. These designs are very challenging and not all tatoo artists can carry them out. Its a good idea to find a tatoo artist who has a history in Celtic designs, as this will ensure the tatoo is made right. The artist who makes the tatoo needs to have an eye for detail and perfect line placement which is a skill that not all tatoo artists possess.
