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.

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.

What a mighty suit of armour this is!

Red Phoenix
This greyscale and red phoenix was sent in by Jackie Rabbit. It’s definitely a different approach than what we’re used to seeing with phoenix tattoos.

Read any good books lately?
I think it’s a safe bet that IAM: xdementia has, if only to celebrate his finished front piece by Stina Sardhina Wulfe from Grim North in Portsmith, NH.
And in case you were curious, the last one I read was “Ready Player One” by Ernest Cline.

Chariot of Fire
This is nothing short of epic in both scope and execution. Wang from Tattoo Temple has really outdone himself with this Helios brushwork piece.
Icarus Falling
Tattoo artist Sean Ambrose describes this tattoo as “Flying man on fire“, but I can’t help but think of Icarus when I see any image of a man in the sky with his arms aflame.
Sean works at Arrows and Embers Custom Tattooing in Concord, NH.
