Original flash sheet tattoo design — five dark illustrative pieces including armoured skull, wilting rose, winged heart, griffin and harpy by Siren Tattoo Lucerne

Mythos & Mortality

The Eternal Sentinel

In this striking design, an ornate knight's helmet encases a skull, pierced through by a sharp blade. It is a powerful meditation on the weight of duty and the finality of honour. The intricate engravings on the armour suggest a life lived with purpose and structure, while the presence of the sword and skull serves as a "memento mori"—a reminder to live fully while we can. Choosing this piece is an act of acknowledging the strength required to protect one's values, even in the face of inevitable change.

The Silent Bloom

In this design, a single, large flower arches gracefully downward, its heavy petals suggesting a moment of quiet surrender or deep reflection. This piece captures the beauty found in the cycles of nature—the inevitable period of rest and introspection that precedes new growth. It is a visual poem for the soul that finds strength in vulnerability, celebrating the elegance of a spirit that is not afraid to bow to the seasons of life.

The Sacred Ascent

This central motif features a heart adorned with expansive wings and crowned by a decorative, cross-like element. It represents the desire for emotional transcendence and the lightness of a spirit that has found its truth. The wings symbolise the freedom to rise above earthly concerns, while the ornate crown suggests that our emotions are something sacred, to be honoured and elevated. It is an ideal symbol for someone celebrating a newfound sense of clarity or spiritual liberation.

The Guardian of Riddles

A majestic hybrid creature—combining the power of a lion, the grace of wings, and the ancient wisdom of a serpent—rests in a poised, watchful stance. This design is a tribute to our internal complexity. It reminds the wearer that we are not just one thing, but a collection of different strengths that work in harmony to protect our core. It is an empowering choice for those who value their multi-faceted nature and their ability to navigate the world with both ferocity and wisdom.

The Sovereign Song

This design depicts a harpy or siren—a creature with the powerful wings and body of a bird joined with the torso and head of a woman. It is a symbol of untethered will and the reclamation of one's own voice. Unlike the myths that paint these creatures as dangerous, this design focuses on their autonomy and their ability to move through different realms. It is a custom artwork for anyone who views their wildness not as a flaw, but as a source of divine, creative power.
