From statues, mosaics, paintings,&#8230; to nowadays: tattoos.<\/p><p>We can&#8217;t blame people for wanting to create artwork inspired by her, right? Have you guys ever taken a look at her confrontational expression? The eyes that seem to follow you, the contortion in her face&#8230; I mean, there&#8217;s no question about why people might want her look permanently on their bodies.<\/p><p>However, have you ever wondered what lures behind those looks? Why they are the way they are and where it all originated? Seemingly, many have, but few have put in the effort to truly understand what the myth of Medusa suggests in its wholeness.<\/p><p>People today want to get body art inspired from her story, but in our modern times the significance has &#8216;expanded&#8217;.
