More info about Miley and Liam’s “matching tattoos”

Yesterday we reported that Miley and boyfriend Liam might have gotten matching tattoos. But we couldn’t really see the tattoos clearly. Here is a possible better picture of the symbol and its meaning:
Symmetrical knots that tie into themselves; without beginning or end; are a universal symbol of the eternity of life, the eternity of nature, and the eternity of love.
The well-known expression, “tying the knot”; meaning to get married or engaged, originates from the ancient Celtic custom of Hand-fasting, in which the newly-wedded couple had their hands tied together with an Endless Knot (or Eternity Knot) in a symbolic ritual.
The Endless Knot is one of the eight Buddhist symbols and is also known as the “mystic dragon”.
While the knot actually originated from Tibet, various interlocking Celtic knots bear a striking resemblance to the Endless Knot. In fact, the Endless Knot has been shared between so many different cultures over the years, it is now a universal icon.
