Medusa Monroe

About This Tattoo

This visually arresting tattoo merges two powerful icons—Medusa, the mythical Gorgon with venomous snakes for hair, and Marilyn Monroe, the timeless symbol of beauty and fame. Rendered in torn-paper collage style, the split portrait fuses their faces down the center, blending divine danger with pop culture allure. Graffiti-style tags reading “MEDUSA” and “MONROE” scrawl boldly across the image, adding a rebellious, urban edge. The composition suggests themes of duality, power, perception, and the mythologizing of women in society.
