Persian history is full of imagery that translates beautifully into realism. Here are Persian tattoo ideas our clients love.
Symbols and subjects
- Ancient kings such as Cyrus the Great, shown in profile with crown and beard.
- The Faravahar, the winged symbol associated with Zoroastrian tradition.
- Persepolis columns and capitals, including the famous bull and griffin capitals.
- Lamassu, the winged guardian figures seen at the Gate of All Nations in Persepolis.
- Persian calligraphy, see Persian calligraphy tattoos.
Combining them
These elements work well in a sleeve, with architecture as background and portraits as focal points, see sleeve planning.
