What Does Poseidon Tattoo Mean?
If you don’t want to use a meaning that is specifically attached to Poseidon, you can always just get one of these tattoos because you like the look of this god and you want to show that you love Greek mythology. Poseidon is arguably one of the coolest looking Greek gods that you can get in a tattoo, so no one would blame you for including him in a more general mythological tattoo.
If you love Greek mythology and want to pack in as much meaning as you possibly can, you could always get Poseidon and other gods included in your design. Just like Poseidon, every other god has a lot of great meanings attached to him or her, so you really can give a full definition of who you are by simply including two or more Greek gods in your design. What’s important is that you choose the gods by what they represent first and only then come up with a cool design that includes them.
What’s kind of great about the Poseidon tattoo is that there are a lot of ways that you can get one designed on your skin. If this is going to be one of your primary tats and you don’t mind covering a lot of your skin, you can very easily make a striking design that does just that. On the other hand, if you would rather stick with simple line work and you want to make the tattoo fit on a small area of skin, there are ways to do that too!
Many people like to get their Poseidon tattoos as a big, beautiful image on their bodies, so they will make sure to get a full-bodied Poseidon in their designs. He usually has ripped muscles, a long, white beard and he looks like he’s going into battle. Most people also include lightning bolts and/or water in their designs, but it’s completely up to you how you make Poseidon look. The most important thing is that you will always be happy to look at your design.
Another very popular Poseidon tattoo is a simple trident design. The trident allows you to get a smaller design while still getting to use all of the meanings found in the larger Poseidon tattoos. Tridents look fantastic on the forearm or running down the shoulder, but you can make this type of design fit just about anywhere.
