Publisher Description

Hear ye, hear ye, tattooists and tattooed! Illustrators and enthusiasts! Dive into medieval beliefs and discover fabulous creatures and animals. Hybrid creatures, wild beasts, dragons and snakes reveal themselves to you through medieval tattooing.

Taking advantage of cults and cultures rooted in Europe, but also elsewhere (from the Nordic countries to the Nile), the medieval period is endowed with an incredible wealth of hairy, winged or scaly beasts. Each animal evoked, often sculpted by the hand of God or Lucifer, can express a behavior or a personality. Some meanings have been forgotten or even erased, while others have persisted over the generations.

With this book, rediscover a period considered obscure and let yourself be carried away by the beliefs of our ancestors. From the phoenix enjoying the benefits of the philosopher's stone to the whale that appears as an island, via the vain tigress, the Middle Ages reveal themselves to you in symbols and meanings.

What's your animal totem? Which one is right for you as an amulet, or which reveals your true personality? More than 300 creatures await you in the pages of this book, ready to be represented in tattoos.
