Black Sun

Click image(s) to see the larger version(s).This simple, yet very cool, tattoo comes from the Flickrstream of Dreamattack and is licensed under Creative Commons. This is the more typical Black Sun which consists of multiple swastikas.The Black Sun symbol is one of the many historical symbols from Germanic folklore that was appropriated and perverted by the Nazis. Unfortunately, it is now also gaining in popularity among Neo-Nazis as a replacement for the much more easily recognizable swastika. That said, the Black Sun rightfully holds importance for the kinder, peace-loving variety of German, or other Nordic, neopagans and is featured here for this reason. The use of the Black Sun, or Sonnenrad...

Assyrian Ink

Click image(s) to see the larger version(s).This nifty tattoo comes from the Flickrstream of MyTat_2 and is licensed under Creative Commons.This tattoo includes several different Mesopotamian images that have been combined to form a unique piece of art. The wings are a fairly well-known image, often associated with Ahura Mazda as in the image below.The star in the middle is usually representative of the planet Venus and, thusly, the Akkadian goddess Ishtar, and her Sumerian counterpart Inanna, who was closely associated with the planet.It's always nice when I manage to find tattoos of Mesopotamian subject matter. To be clear, the term Mesopotamia covers a wide range of cultures that existed...

Wild Back Piece

Click image(s) to see the larger version(s).This amazing back piece comes from the Flickstream of Wolf94114 and is licensed by Creative Commons.This back piece was created by artist London Bellman of Atomic Art Tattoo Studio of Portland, Oregon.I'm lovin' the moons and the owl for obvious reasons. I imagine the human-like figure is based on some badass original art; if anyone knows the origins of the image I'd appreciate a heads up. At any rate, a very nice and extremely unique back piece.Happy solstice folks!P.S. For some background about this tattoo be sure to check out the commen...

Green Man Neck Ink

Click image(s) to see the larger version(s).This tattoo was created by artist Trevor Collis of Iron Age Studios in St. Louis.Here's another Green Man, this one offered up by reader David. I don't think I've seen a Green Man with such an expressive face. Pretty cool, eh? David had this to say about his Green Man:Green man is very important to me because in all my Pagan and Druid studies, things come back to him in one way or another, no matter what he is called the outcome is the same. Many cultures through out history have recognized him, no matter the name.Thanks to David for sharing his tattoo with us here at NeoPagan I...

Family Zodiac Ink

Click image(s) to see the larger version(s).This pretty tattoo comes from Teresa who found NeoPagan Ink through Confessions of a Pagan Soccer Mom. Here's what Teresa has to say about it:This Tattoo (my first of what I am sure will be many) was designed by my then 15 year old son, who plans to be a tattoo artist when he is older. (woohoo! only a couple years til I get free tats! lol)it was done by a shop in Spruce Grove, Alberta about and year and a half ago when my then 17 year old son got his first tattoo for his birthday. great bonding experience for us both:) I am a gemini as is my only brother and the one in the top, cancer, is for my husband. along the bottom, the signs are for my 4...

Triple Moons Sunset

Click image(s) to see the larger version(s).This tattoo was created by Randy Fox at Panama Fox Tattoo in Panama City, Florida.This lovely and unique tattoo comes from Lea Anne and the importance of this tattoo is inspirational, to say the least. Here's what she had to say:I got this tat a few weeks after I got out of the hospital. I had been suffering from undiagnosed depression for years, and I'd finally broken completely and tried to commit suicide. Fortunately or no, I survived the suicide attempt, but I was in a coma for about a week. I felt like the Goddess took my life in her mouth, chewed me up, and spit me back out--alive. She obviously did not feel that it was time for me to die,...

Pentacle and Moon

Click image(s) to see the larger version(s).Here's a very pretty tattoo from the Flickrstream of Dmaelus; it is licensed under Creative Commons.This pentacle tattoo with the moon and clouds in the background makes me kinda think I might get a similar tattoo one day. All of the elements but fire are represented here, with the moon and clouds representing water. The clouds are also representative of air and the pentacle itself is made of wood, so that takes care of earth. And while I think all of the elements should be honored I too would consider excluding an image symbolic of fire within a similar tattoo. Being a watery person all around I have a healthy respect for fire, and all its associations,...
