Griffin Tattoo Photo #6945

Griffin symbolism in mythology The griffin is a mythical creature combining the body of a lion with the head and wings of an eagle. It represents power, protection, and vigilance-the lion's strength paired with the eagle's keen vision.

Using only black ink at different dilutions, this style achieves a photographic quality with rich shadows and soft highlights. Black and grey work is versatile enough for portraits, nature scenes, and symbolic imagery.

The wrist offers a compact area that suits fine-line work, small symbols, and script. Its visibility means the tattoo becomes part of daily life, always in the wearer's line of sight.
