Shamrock Tattoos

Irish legend has it that, Saint Patrick demonstrated the principle behind the Trinity using a shamrock, pointing to its three leaflets united by a common stalk (the three leaves of the “shamrock” represent the Three Persons in One God)

Irish people making Shamrock tattoos will usually choose simple, three-leaved Shamrock tattoos designs, based on the shape of a clover, as the Shamrock has been sacred to the Irish for hundreds of years, and it has come to represent life and vitality.

When it comes to people who are not Irish, the shamrock tattoos most people have in mind is a cartoon image – a bright, bold, Kelly green clover.
The cartoon Shamrock Tattoos resembles the Leprechaun and got some of it characters.

A Leprechaun looks like a little old man gaily dressed in old-fashioned clothes; green, with a red cap, leather apron and buckled shoes.
According to the legend, leprechauns are devious and unfriendly, live alone, and possess a hidden pot of gold.
Catching a Leprechaun also represents luck, as upon catching him you can force him to reveal where he’s hidden his treasure.

When I was looking for Shamrock tattoos I came across this amazing site that has literally thousands of different tattoos.
I actually had to choose between a number of Shamrock Tattoos I just loved, and ended up with two Shamrock tattoos - one from their
three-leaved Shamrock tattoos and one from their cartoon Shamrock tattoos.
So, if you’re looking for inspiration and ideas, this site is what you’re looking for!

Did you know? Although the shamrock is not the official emblem of Ireland, in the hearts and minds of people all over the world, the shamrocks are The symbol of Ireland.
