Medusa the Gorgon

This remarkable (and slightly out of focus, sorry) tattoo of the gorgon Medusa was applied by artist Will. Out of Greek myth tattoos, the story of Medusa is perhaps the most popular, followed closely by the labors of Hercules (especially slaying the Nemean Lion; Cerberus; and the Hydra), then images depicting the king of the gods, Zeus. With such good company, the fact that the story of Medusa resonates with so many people is impressive. Hers is the place of highest honor among the tattooed Greek myths.
