Greek tattoos

What exactly are Greek tattoos?

Greek tattoos are inks basing with their general idea on Greek history, philosophy or mythology. Although Greek tattoos are not the most popular form of the tattoo, I'm pretty sure that more non-Greek people have such inks than Greek citizens.

After all, Ancient Greece was a very inspiring and creative period of time. They laid the fundaments of modern philosophy, they created an amazingly complex and of multifarious meanings religion beliefs and finally they created the basics of democracy.

It's no wonder then that Greek tattoos are very popular. Such inks are made in various styles and tattoo schools. After all it doesn't matter if the Poseidon tattoo you have is made in realistic tattoo style or in newschool technique. It's a Greek tattoo anyway ;). Greek tattoos sometimes base on famous Greek history, just like this quite simple and plain, but still very interesting Hoplite Phalanx tattoo:
