Lord Shiva & Ravana Tattoo Design – Mythological Narrative Sleeve Concept

Design Overview

Lord Shiva & Ravana is a narrative tattoo concept that explores the balance between ego and enlightenment. The design represents the tension between power and surrender, knowledge and pride, destruction and transcendence.

This artwork is developed as a large-scale, tattoo-ready concept, intended for collectors who want a story-driven piece rather than a decorative tattoo.

Symbolism & Meaning

• Lord Shiva: Higher consciousness, detachment, transformation

• Ravana: Ego, intellect, devotion, inner conflict

• Dual Composition: The coexistence of destruction and wisdom

• Overall Energy: Intense, dramatic, and transformative

The design reflects the idea that true growth comes from confronting one’s own ego and surrendering to higher understanding.

Style & Execution

• Style: Realism / Illustrative

• ]Linework: Strong foundational structure to support detail

• Shading: High-detail realism balanced for long-term ageing

• Colour: Earthy tones or black & grey (adaptable based on preference)

The composition is designed to read clearly from a distance while revealing depth up close.
