About Mythology Tattoos

Mythology tattoos draw on humanity's oldest stories — gods, heroes and monsters from Greek, Norse, Egyptian and other traditions. Dramatic, symbolic and rich with meaning, they make for ambitious, storied pieces.

  • Greek/Roman (Zeus, Athena, Medusa), Norse (Odin, Thor, Valkyries), Egyptian (Anubis, Ra)
  • Each figure carries meaning — power, wisdom, honor, destiny, protection, rebirth
  • Suits B&G realism for statuesque gods, color realism for epic scenes, or bold illustration
  • Often large and detailed — needs an artist comfortable with ambitious composition
  • A little research into accurate iconography pays off; reward areas like arm, thigh, back
