Animals are also very popular in the celtic art and for certain reasons. The celts believed by painting a certain animal on their body they would some how inherit the animal's characteristics. This is why animal symbols are so heavily used in celtic tattoo designs. The snake is one of the first animal symbols used in these tattoo designs.
