Game of Thrones: 10 Tattoos Only Devoted Fans Will Understand

When a TV show airs for multiple seasons, it usually manages to get its fair share of devoted fans. The HBO series Game of Thrones is an excellent example of a show which influenced modern pop culture and captured the audience so well it won’t disappear from the public eye even now when it’s already over.

There are multiple ways how to express your love for the show. People write fanfiction stories about their favorite characters, make videos, draw fan arts, cosplay the show’s characters… And they also get Game of Thrones tattoos, some of which are really complex and beautiful. Let’s check some of the most intricate tattoos out there.

10 Dangerous Trio

Game of Thrones features a lot of memorable, great characters, but Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen belong among the most popular ones. They’re both positively badass and they even formed a couple in the series. At least until Jon found out the truth about his heritage and discovered that Daenerys was his aunt, which meant he was no longer able to see her as a lover.

The characters’ lives were complicated, and they faced many challenges, including the Night King. If these three characters and their conflict are your favorite part of the show’s storyline, then this tattoo by Evgeny Zhuzha Oleynik should fit your taste.

9 Three Dragons And A Wolf

If you don’t want to have the show’s characters tattooed on your body, you can instead show your love to the animal life by getting some of the show’s most iconic animal heroes tattooed. Daenerys Targaryen had lost her child, but she did give birth to three dragons when she walked through fire and her dragons hatched from the eggs Daenerys had.

This tattoo is super popular and you can see many variations of it online. And if you’re not into house Targaryen and prefer the Starks instead, then you can get yourself a nice direwolf tattoo, as this tattoo design by Krish Tattoo demonstrates.

8 Hopelessly In Love

If you enjoy a good romance as much as the next guy or girl, then you’re in for a treat with this tattoo by iron_throne_ink. Game of Thrones features a lot of romances and couples, even though most of those don’t end up, with a few notables exceptions, such as Sam and Gilly.

One of the romances that never came to be since the feeling wasn’t mutual was between Tormund and Brienne. Tormund fancied Brienne since he likes strong women who can fight but Brienne was already hopelessly in love with Jaime Lannister. Still, Tormund’s heart eyes are too great not to be included on this list.

7 The North Remembers

Living in Westeros isn’t without challenges and it’s quite dangerous, in fact, especially if you’re of noble birth and your family is hoping to win the Iron Throne for itself. The Starks were safest when they stayed at Winterfell, far away from King’s Landing and all the drama and intrigue so common for the court.

But once they left Winterfell, the troubles came falling on their heads. Still, the Starks are a proud and strong family, and as their motto suggests, they remember all grievances. This tattoo by Rachel Williams is ideal for anyone who shares the same character traits as the Stark family.

6 Arya And Her Wolf

Let’s stay with the Starks for a moment longer thanks to this tattoo by Nikki Simpson. When you randomly ask a few people online which member of the Stark family is their favorite one, chances are that a fair share of them will say it’s Arya Stark.

And it makes perfect sense as well. Even though Arya is one of the youngest members of the Stark family, she’s managed to defeat many enemies and she even was the one who killed the Night King and, therefore, effectively ended the war. Arya is a great fighter, a total badass, and she deserved the happy ending she got when she sailed off to see the world.

5 A Girl Has No Name

Unlike her older sister Sansa, Arya never dreamed about becoming a princess or a queen and marrying a handsome prince on a white horse. No, she wanted to be a fighter for a long time, always practicing her fighting skills even when she was just a child and still lived at Winterfell.

But when she finally got a real chance to become a fighter, Arya discovered it was far more difficult than she had anticipated. Still, she managed to push through, despite all the challenges and pain, and this tattoo by Gaki Niccals reminds the show’s fans of this fascinating period of Arya’s life.

4 White Walkers

Maybe you like Game of Thrones but you’re as interested in the fate of its heroes, but prefer the show’s villains instead. In that case, you might like this tattoo by Black Ball Tattoo. All house rivalries, wars, and conflicts aside, by far the biggest threat to Westeros are the White Walkers who live beyond the Wall guarded by the Night’s Watch.

Their presence has been hinted at since the first episode but it wasn’t until the last season that the White Walkers waged a war against all the living creatures. Luckily for humans, they won the war, even though it wasn’t without great sacrifices.

3 Sun And Moon

If you’re looking for a Game of Thrones couple tattoo both you and your partner could get, then you don’t need to look any further. This tattoo by Jimmy Wong Tattoo is a great and still rather subtle way how to express your mutual love and affection.

It’s inspired by the first season of the show which featured one of the most memorable, albeit, unfortunately, short-lived couples. Daenerys was forced to marry Khal Drogo and while she feared her husband at first, she eventually fell in love with him, and he loved her too. They used these adorable nicknames for each other, but Khal Drogo later died and it broke Daenerys’ heart.

2 Stark Sisters

To say that the relationship between the Stark sisters was complicated would be an understatement of this century. When they were children, Arya and her older sister Sansa didn’t get along since they both had completely different characters. Arya was more of a tomboy who enjoyed fighting with a fake sword while Sansa preferred wearing pretty dresses and dreaming about marrying a prince, preferably Joffrey.

When they reunited again, years after their father’s and mother’s death, they were already adults and got along better. Still, the sisters won’t probably ever be best friends, as their separate positions in this tattoo by Peau d’âme tattoo prove.

1 Dracarys

Finally, if you’re into minimalism and want to keep your tattoo subtle but still are looking for a proper way how to honor your favorite show, perhaps you can draw inspiration from this simple, but effective tattoo by Tatuagem Barbearia Bar. Having the word ‘dracarys’ tattooed on your body could symbolize that you’re fearless and brave, ready to do whatever it takes to succeed and to get what you want – even if it means you’re going to have to walk through fire (not literally, mind you).

Alternatively, there other quotes from Game of Thrones you can get tattooed on your body. Any house motto will work, such as “Winter is coming”, or “Growing strong”.
