Thoughts on my first tattoo

[frad]

Hi guys im Adam, 21 from England.

Im contemplating getting a greek mythology tattoo on my calf.
It will be a mixture of a few different creatures from greek mythology.
It is a subject which has always intrigued me and I enjoy learning about it however I have no greek heritage and as of yet have not traveled to Greece.

In your personal opinion do you think its right for me to be getting a Greek mythology tattoo in these circumstances?

Regards

People have different reasons to get a tattoo. Just liking the imagery and/or the stories behind them is enough to get it tattooed IMO. Most people who get Japanese sleeves are not from japanese descent and many won't have been there and many never will! None of my tattoos have any significance other than liking them. Sounds like you've put some thought into it and I'd say go for it!

Thanks chris for your encouraging words. I was undecided but having heard from you its helped ease my worries.

It's more than OK to do it! Like chr1s said, it's enough reason to do it if you're in to the style visually
Тhe meaning of the tattoo is in the person's head

Thanks for the help guys.

The current list of creatures id like to play a part are;

Cerberus (hell hound)
lamia (female Daemon)
Harpy (winged monster, face of a female)
Hydra (9 headed serpant)
Sirens (Played music to shipwreck boats)

possible Greek key boarder


This isn't a definate list and could change drastically, are their any creatures you think would look good that I may have overlooked?

Cheers

They should all make for excellent tattoos! Just make sure you get the right artist to do it now.

Like people have already said before me, people have different reasons for getting tattoos and if ancient Greek mythology is something you have your heart set on then why not? It's your body, adorn it as your wish. Done well you ideas could translate into some beautiful tattoo work

Cheers guys,

I went for my consultation today. Ive gone for cerberus, harpies, erinyes and a hoplite warrior at the center of it all fighting them.
Its going to 12 hours plus to complete and should be completed by mid november.
