Guts and Griffith

At Berserk’s core lies the tumultuous relationship between Guts and Griffith, once best friends and now bitter adversaries. 

This profound transformation finds vivid expression in the tattoo crafted by the skilled hands of Celeste Vanesa Ospitaletche (Instagram: @celestevanesa.art). The half-portraits of Guts and Griffith, meticulously etched, encapsulate their stark contrast and the depth of their shattered relationship. Guts, marked by scars and determination, stands in solemn opposition to Griffith, whose expression holds an eerie aura of ambition and sacrifice.

Band of the Hawk

The Band of the Hawk is synonymous with camaraderie, ambition, and tragic fate. This renowned mercenary band, led by the charismatic Griffith, stood as a bastion of hope and power in a chaotic world.

Francesca Maccaferri (Instagram: @ato.francesca), beautifully captures the essence of the Band of the Hawk in a four-part composition. The tattoo intricately weaves pivotal moments from Berserk — beginning with an ominous solar eclipse bearing the haunting Brand of the Sacrifice, a symbol of impending doom and sacrifice.

The subsequent segments depict the evolution of the relationship between Guts and Griffith. In their prime, side by side in the Band of the Hawk, they epitomized the epitome of friendship and ambition, carving out their destiny on the battlefield. However, destiny takes a tragic turn, marked by Guts' departure from the group, forever altering the course of their lives.

Skull Knight

The Skull Knight is a mysterious being who has waged an eternal war against the God Hand and the demonkind for a millennium.

At Ascension Tattoo (Instagram: @ascention_tattoo), skilled artists have masterfully brought this iconic character to life in ink. The Sword of Beherit clutched in his skeletal hand, represents both his relentless battle and the unfathomable mysteries surrounding the fate of humanity.

Griffith: I Sacrifice…

Few moments are as pivotal and shattering as Griffith's encounter with the Crimson Beherit — the harbinger of doom. This critical event sets in motion a chain of tragic events, culminating in the Eclipse, a nightmarish ordeal that forever alters the course of the saga.

Fimm Ignativ (Instagram: @fimmtattooer) brilliantly captures this defining moment in the tattoo. The haunting imagery encapsulates the beginning of the eclipse — a tragedy that tore the fabric of reality and unleashed demonic horrors upon the world.

Beast of Darkness

Within the tortured soul of Guts, a relentless struggle wages on — a struggle against the Beast of Darkness, an embodiment of wrath and bloodlust born from the harrowing experiences of the Eclipse and his relentless vendetta against demonkind. This primal force yearns to consume him, to drown him in a vortex of vengeance.

Nikita Smirnov (Instagram: @blck.wzrd), a masterful tattoo artist, brings this inner torment to life in the tattoo titled "Beast of Darkness." The intricately designed ink reveals the ferocious entity, restrained by ethereal chains conjured by Schierke — a beacon of hope amidst the abyss of Guts' soul.
