The power and strength in Athena’s look and stance in this piece embodies what this Goddess was. Her glowing eyes, pouty lips and the rings on her fingers are some of my favorite details in this piece. The subtle details, down to the strands of her hair draping her forehead really makes this piece stand out. The shading in Athena’s face makes her beauty evident. Athena’s luscious locks in this female tattoo cannot be ignored either.
This Athena tattoo is beautifully done with its framing of flowers and adorable critters. Sometimes clean lines and with no color is all you need for such a powerful Goddess. There is no right or wrong way to wear your very own Pallas Athena classically drawn or depicted in esoteric symbols and modern allegory, she is both protector and infinite source of inspiration. Your Athena tattoo is more than a homage to one of mythology’s star players, but a prayer to the goddess herself. It was Athena who assisted Odysseus and Perseus throughout their respective odysseys, who likewise avenged those wronged by man and god alike. To embrace Athena and thus her tattoo likeness is to embrace the powerful but frequently undermined Feminine. She is the symbol of victory and serving one’s self as master for no man commands her, as she sprung motherless from the head of Zeus and is first to punish those who would trespass against her. The goddess of war, sacred virginity (in the ancient Greek context to remain unmarried) and infinite knowledge, Athena is typically depicted in battle armor, her faithful owl companion ever present.
