A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

  • On Guard

    This pair of guardian lions was actually done by two Tattoo Temple artists.  Wang did the artwork and tattoo for the lions, while Joey did the calligraphy and tattooing for the script.

  • Abstract Apocalypse

    We’ve seen Gabor’s abstract works here many times, but I think this is the first religious one we’ve seen.  Given the skull, the horn, and the angel wings, it’s a pretty safe assumption that this is a take on Gabriel blowing his horn to signify the end of days.  The thing about this particular image is that it’s not limited to Christian mythology.  While Gabriel appears in Islamic myth, it’s Israfel who sounds the trumpet of doom there.  For the Norse, Heimdall (the dude who stood on the end of the rainbow bridge in the Thor film) will blow the Gjallarhorn to warn of the coming of Ragnarok.  In any case, when December 12th hits this year, hopefully none of us hears a horn blow.

  • Close your mouth

    I know.  My jaw also hit the floor when I saw this.  Wang has done it again.

  • Wings of the gods

    Meatshop Tattoo has submitted quite a few mythological pieces recently, including these dotwork wings of Hermes.

  • The battle rages on

    And one more from Meatshop Tattoo.  I’m going to guess this is displaying some form of Nordic myth, but if anyone can identify it, please do.  You’ll want to visit the Religious and Mythological Tattoo Gallery to get a look at the full sized image.
