Claddagh Tattoo
Made it to Explore 444 november 22 - 2006 ! The Claddagh Ring is a famous ring, traditionally given in friendship or worn as a wedding ring. The design and the traditions associated with it originated in the Irish village of Claddagh, located just outside the old walls of the city of Galway. The Claddagh design, an original symbol of the "Fisher Kings" of the town of Claddagh, was first fashioned into the traditional ring in the 17th Century during the reign of Mary II. The ring's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown)..
