This is a picture of my tattoo taken in April of ‘09 right when it was done. It’s written in Ogham, the Celtic tree alphabet, which was used to write Old Irish. In Old Irish this says “gaol buan” which, when translated, says “unfailing love”. You read it from bottom to top and each set of lines is a letter. The larger space is the space between words. I get a lot of strange guesses about what people think it is but I love it!
