Therefore, before copying the beautiful Celtic alphabets below, take a moment to read about Celtic lettering.
Some Background on Celtic Lettering
Between 700 – 800 B.C. Irish monks wrote beautifully illustrated manuscripts which documented Celtic historical events and poetry. Their work was laborious and painstaking and it sometimes took months to complete a single manuscript.
However, the intricate manner in which the lettering was done was a work of art. The monks used vellum, very thin calf-skin, as paper and goose or crows quills as their writing devices. Vegetable-based black ink was used as the medium.
Celts are known for their artistry and use of symbols to display their heritage and descent. Tattooing is a way to honor that heritage and tradition. As you look at each letter, think about the time it took the monks to write an entire story on vellum paper using these beautiful letters. Take a moment to appreciate the artistry of these Celtic letters of the alphabet.
