Pict Pillows

This symbol comes from the Picts, a group of people who inhabited areas of what is now Scotland. They are known for their stone carvings, although the meaning behind most of their symbols has now been lost. This symbol is commonly called the "Pictish beast" and is thought to perhaps represent a variety of animals-- both mythological and real-- and perhaps have been of great importance. I have recreated it here in my own style.

Carved into ancient stone are these designs by the now gone Picts of pre-Christian Scotland. This is a V-Rod Crescent design here in black.

The Z-Rod and Double Disc is a mysterious symbol carved into many standing stones by the Pictish People of Scotland in the 8th century. Primordial and powerful, it invokes a time long gone. Drawing created by the internationally esteemed tattoo artist Pat Fish.

There are a few things that Scotland is known for, apart from our awesome accents and good whisky. One of these is the intricate knotwork that was carved into stones by the Picts and Celts. Much of this artwork was couple by depictions of animals, and this was the main inspiration behind this design. With two unicorns (Scotland's national animal), each morphing into knotwork at the bottom, before joining and curling around each other to form a heart and upside down triquetra before ending in a thistle, which is Scotland national flower. This design was very much inspired by my love for Scotland, the culture, and the history.
