Realist Medusa Tattoo

Tattoo art has come a long way, and some of the finest artists now work in the world of ink. This means there is really no limit to the quality and artistic merit you can find in body art. If you want something that looks lifelike and requires ultimate tattoo art skill, why not opt for a realist Medusa tattoo?

For this, you’ll have to visit a top quality tattoo artist who specialises in realist tattoo art. You can expect to pay top dollar, but the results will definitely be worth it as you’ll walk out the tattoo parlour with a detailed and stunning Medusa tattoo.

Because of the amount of detail required on realist tattoos, you’ll need to choose a placement large enough to accommodate a medium to large tattoo. Your back or thigh, for example, would be ideal.

Erotic Medusa Tattoo

The tale of Medusa is associated with beauty and seduction, and she is often considered a temptress. For this reason, it can be fun to play with her sensuality and get a Medusa tattoo with erotic themes. It’s up to you and your tattoo artist how you choose to convey her in an erotic light, but parting of the lips certainly gets the message across!

Medusa Statue Tattoo

Many fans of Greek mythology are familiar with Greek statues and art, both of which inform our ideas of Medusa today. It’s an appealing idea to reference this classical depiction of Medusa by getting a tattoo inspired by Greek statuesque depictions of the maiden.

However, your Medusa statue tattoo doesn’t have to be Greek-inspired. In Lower Manhattan, there’s a sculpture called Medusa with the Head of Perseus by Luciano Garbati in 2008. It’s a very popular sculpture, which many have linked to the subsequent Me Too movement, and it’s become a powerful feminist symbol. If you want to reference 21st Century feminism in your body art, then this statue could be a great source of inspiration.
