Popular black and gray tattoos inspired by Greek mythology and religious subjects

In recent years, tattoos with images from Greek mythology and Roman images have become extremely popular. Especially tattoos done in black and gray are in demand. The tattoos of images from Greek mythology are inspired by sculptures by the great Italian masters such as Bernini and Michelangelo. The dramatic and powerful physical anatomy of these masterpieces make an attractive theme for a tattoo.

Bernini made some beautiful sculptures of gods from Greek mythology. One of the most famous is his sculpture of “Apollo and Daphne” which captures the nymph’s pursuit of the god in a dynamic and dramatic style.

Another famous work by Bernini is his sculpture of the goddess Artemis, which symbolizes the hunt and is a fascinating example of the artist’s baroque style.

Michelangelo also made many sculptures of mythological figures, including several of the gods. His most famous work in this category is probably his David, a naked figure representing the presumed. In addition, Michelangelo also created statues of Bacchus, Apollo, Heracles and Venus, all of whom were pivotal deities in Renaissance art and literature.

Tattoos with images from Greek mythology or religious subjects often have a deep meaning for the wearer..

If you are looking for a tattoo with a deep meaning, then tattoos depicting images from Greek mythology and religious subjects may be for you.

It is good to think about the desired design and to choose a high-quality tattoo artist.  We at Holland tattoo shop have a lot of experience with  Black and Gray Tattoos, often  performed in Singleneedle and certainly in this style of tattooing.

It is important to consider in advance to opt for a larger surface for tattoos such as this, preferably part of the body, so for example not just the forearm but a full sleeve. This space is necessary to make the right layering and details in your tattoo and to let the design flow nicely with the shapes of your body..
