Dragons and swords are common subjects for tattoos, so it’s to the great advantage of tattoo enthusiasts that the Game of Thrones universe has plenty of them. Over the years, we’ve spotlighted tattoos based on Game of Thrones when we’ve had enough to share. Now that the prequel House of the Dragon is airing, we’re seeing lots of tattoos inspired by the new series.
In this post, we’ll take a tour through some of the coolest Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon tattoos out there on the internet, starting with tattoos that honor the highest and mightiest house Westeros has ever known: the Targaryens.
"Got my dragons! ink for the queen byu/Malignitas inHouseOfTheDragon"
I like this next one especially: not just the Targaryen sigil, but a dragon’s slash through the middle of it:
"My first tattoo I just got done last night byu/Grindelmort1 ingameofthrones"
This might be my favorite Targaryen sigil tattoo:
"Another session down [no spoilers] byu/Shabalabuh-101 ingameofthrones"
Game of Thrones only had three dragons to speak of: Daenerys Targaryen best boys Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion. They’re still popular subjects for tattoos, but House of the Dragon has introduced a whole new stable of fire-breathing flying reptiles. Caraxes, the long-necked dragon ridden by Daemon Targaryen, is an especially popular:
"Got a new tattoo last week, gotta celebrate my best boy byu/andyroo323 inHouseOfTheDragon"
"Caraxes tattoo in the style of a traditional snake shoulder tattoo byu/Shaneski101 inHouseOfTheDragon"
We don’t have any tattoos of Vhagar, the oldest and biggest dragon at the time of House of the Dragon. We do have this tattoo of her rider Aemond Targaryen, though, looking predictably dour:
"Wicked tattoo of Aemond from a fan in Spain! (Spare us your opinion on someone choosing to get a character tattoo btw ha) byu/Porcelain-treasure inHouseOfTheDragon"
Remember on Game of Thrones when the Night King raised himself a zombie dragon? That was wild:
"[No Spoilers] First session of my night king tattoo is done. byu/Thelegitcrip ingameofthrones"
Okay, that’s enough Targaryens. Here’s one of the Night King solo:
"The Night King from Game of Thrones – done by Billie at Gypsy Ink, Cheshire, UK byu/thismoderndrift ingameofthrones"
As long as we’re talking about the Night King, the girl who ended him shows up in a lot of tattoos. Click the button below for more tattoos:
