Leprechaun tattoos enjoy great popularity, especially among the Irish people living in the USA, because it is one of the nation’s most famous symbols that reminds them of their native land. In Irish fables and fairy tales a leprechaun is described as a small stocky man with a wrinkled face and a blushing red nose dressed in a green suit and a hat. Leprechauns make shoes for fairies and other td cellspacingmagic creatures and are known to be lovers of the Irish homebrew, ‘poteen’, which they steal from people’s cells and larders. Their drinking, though, does not affect the great quality of the shoes they make. It is believed that if you hear the sound of a leprechaun’s hammer you may find where he hides his gold that he has in plenty. And if there is no gold than a leprechaun can grant you three wishes instead. But you have to be careful – as soon as you take your eyes off the creature it will disappear – leprechauns are said to be very canny and deceitful.

What Tattoo Designs Of Leprechauns To Choose

You have to be careful while choosing a leprechaun tattoo: remember that it will stay with you forever and make sure the design you’ve picked out suits your character and appearance well.

The most popular tattoo is a fighting leprechaun that symbolizes the owner’s strong will and resistance to all hardships.

But other variants of leprechaun tattoos are also among the favorite ones. There are a lot of tattoo designs of leprechauns with clover, with a pot full of gold and a rainbow or with a large mug of beer – like the designs you may find here. Most of these designs are considered to bring luck.

Leprechauns can be pictured doing something naughty and indecent – like putting their pants down or draining a bottle of ‘poteen’.

There are also many leprechaun tattoos where this creature wears a grin that promises you nothing but troubles. The last one is my favorite. Makes your blood freeze, don’t you think?
