Embellished Tree of Life Celtic Tattoo Design stag IHS = Jesus

IHS =  Jesus

This cross is modeled after one on Iona

The circle which encompasses the pattern is a symbol for completeness and also represents the sun

that form a chain-mail effect as a bracelet

It was the giver of life and also the source of light and wisdom
