Slavic Tattoo Photo #12495

From the thunder god Perun to the solar wheel of Svarog, Slavic mythology offers a rich catalogue of protective symbols, nature spirits, and geometric patterns rooted in folk embroidery and wood carving traditions. Slavic pagan gods and mythological figures Perun, the god of thunder and war, appears as a bearded warrior with a lightning bolt or axe.

Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.

Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
