Celtic Cross Tattoo with Wolfhound Crow Warrior Design

A tattoo inspired by the ancient Irish goddess Badb, a war goddess who takes the form of a crow. The deity is sometimes known as Badb Catha ("battle crow"). A unique commission for a Special Forces officer home on leave from the wars. The Irish Wolfhound looks back over his shoulder at his bloodline's past and generations of Celtic warriors who have gone before. The crow of the Morrigan looks forward with clear sight to the battles he has yet to fight. The marks of the dog's paw and the Awen, symbol of Bards and Ovates, complement this ancient traditional knotwork cross.
For celebrity fans, popular musician Rick Springfield also wears this tattoo, customized with his own dog's portrait.
