#GOD OF WAR TATTOO FULL#
Past memories can be brought to life with the perfect rendition of such a tattoo.Īres is often depicted in Greek Mythology as wearing full body armor, a helmet, a shield, and sword, or a spear. An Ares tattoo can always represent a troubled or violent past that the wearer had. Such tattoos can always represent the inner struggle the wearer has to bear and the decision to keep pushing ahead. Through the turmoil, the tattoo should represent the idea of never giving up, always fighting for your goals, and your ideals in life, and always triumphing against any and all oppositions. This represents the willingness to always fight, never falter and always stand up with your head high. Before war spartans would appeal to the statue so that they may be brave in battle and be courageous!Īn Ares tattoo is not for the faint of heart. This symbolizes the spirit of war that should never leave the spartan warriors. In one of the Spartan temples there existed a statue of Ares, in the posture of a chained god. The military nation of Sparta was known to have brewed fearless leaders and soldiers, all of who specialized in war, so it would make sense that their patron God would be Ares, the one who symbolizes War Incarnate. The only nation that openly worshiped Ares was the nation of Sparta. He was often accompanied by his sister Eris (Strife) and his sons (by Aphrodite) Deimos and Phobos. He was known to have been a force of nature, capable of shifting the tides of war only with his presence, which was bringing courage, madness, and battle-frenzy to allies, and despair to enemies. That’s where he thrived, where he could unleash all his might upon various foes. The month of March was named after Mars and was the month most filled with festivals.Īres was known throughout mythology as the god who reveled in the madness of war, in the frenzy of battle. Festivals were being held in Mars’s name in the spring and autumn. Mars held a position of importance in the Roman pantheon second only to Jupiter. His roman counterpart is Mars, which was more popular with the Roman people and its empire.
His sheer bloodlust and brutality are completely opposite of his sister, Athena, who presided over war affairs with a cool head, and military brilliance. He was often viewed as a senseless butcher on the battlefield, slaughtering foes and allies alike.
Ares Tattoos represent perfectly the violent nature of people and their desire to strive in their endeavors!Īres is the oldest son of Zeus and Hera, although history tells us that Ares was neither loved by the mortals, nor by his godly peers. He is known as one of the Twelve Olympians and as God of War and represents the spirit of battle. Ares is the one God that personifies War, and all of its sides, such as brutality, strife, anger, and revenge.
