My husband and I both misplaced our wedding rings (they are in the house SOMEWHERE) and so I made the suggestion of getting rings inked on.
The Claddagh has many meanings but when worn on the wedding ring finger with the point of the heart pointing down the finger, away from the wearer, indicates the wearer is taken.
"With my two hands I give you my heart and crown it with love"
I tried to convince my fiance to do this... he didnt like the idea. unfortunately :[
But I did get my claddagh ring haha
These are beautiful and I have to say Im jealous
The point is supposed to be towards the wrist, the same way that the blood flows to the heart. That is why the point faces inward. Your tattoos are beautiful, though, and most people, outside of the Irish, will never know the difference!
aw these are really cute.
nicely done as well.
although I hate to say it, but they are the wrong way. I took Gaelic in college and my teacher explained it to me.
