Have you ever thought of getting a tattoo of a Greek God or Goddess?
Greek mythologies tattoos are all about symbolism and meaning. This style requires a level of detail and richness of creativity. You can either choose a portrait style or have a specific Greek mythological story-telling design. What is the difference? A portrait only portrays the face of the Greek God/Goddess, whereas the story-telling design combines props and elements related to the Greek Mythology God you have chosen.

Clients are usually drawn to Greek Mythology Tattoos for their meaning, aesthetics, and visuals. What strikes me the most in this design is the elements that can be implemented to the character. Each Greek God, Goddess, and mythical creatures have a story and specific props that must be considered when designing. For example, when choosing a water character, like Poseidon, you can add water, waves, and a wrecked boat, whereas when choosing Zeus, you can apply thunder, clouds, and lightning bolts. These elements implemented from the character can help me create a good composition to do on the arm.
What I like most about creating Greek mythological tattoos is their stone structure because it looks good on the skin, especially in black and white. Personally, I prefer to do Greek mythology tattoos in 3D because it makes the tattoo look realistic and lifelike. Essentially, this Greek Mythological style is a half or full sleeve tattoo. I like to do a drafted sketch in the arm with the outline needed so I can visually see all the elements I will place in the arm. When designing the tattoo, I like to have a maximum of 4 main props. I usually locate the strongest element of the entire composition at the top of the arm, whereas the rest of the props that tell the story will be placed below the arm. Once the tattoo is complete the entire piece will tell a story that you have chosen. Come in with your design, or feel free to come in and look at my original designs.
