Though many think of them as non-cultural musical instruments, harps are actually Irish symbols, often associated with Emerald Isle and used in many Irish tales. Harps can also be found on the famous Irish beer brand Guinness, as well as on most of the country’s currency, proving them to be not only common in the area, but also very meaningful to the Irish people. Since there are many different harp variations, the meaning does vary depending on the style, however, (as you will see below) they all look great in tattoo form. In fact, harp tattoos look so nice, that they are even worn by non-Irish people, and given in non-Irish countries.

The harp’s origination came long ago (back in the 1500’s) and was found in “The Image Of Ireland”, a book which featured the instrument being played by an Irish minstrel. Centuries later (in the year 1855 to be precise) the instrument was found again, this time in Edward Bunting’s “The Ancient Music Of Ireland”, a book well-known by most Irish musicians, and beloved by the culture’s vast majority. Due to it’s beautiful sound and common re-appearances throughout Irish tales, this instrument earned it’s way onto the country’s currency, and was also used by many of the nation’s religious leaders.

Now, in the year 2017, the harp has many different variations and is designed in detail by many different tattoo artists, allowing it to live on through the skin of many different people. In an attempt to showcase the instrument’s beauty, while also giving readers an idea of just how common the design is, we have created the list below.
