Transport yourself to Westeros for a minute — not the TV glow, but the kind of ink that reminds you of who you are when things get real. These Game of Thrones tattoos pull from sigils, scenes, and quotes that mean something: strength, survival, family, and a whole lot of attitude. If you’re scouting for a piece that feels like armor (but prettier), let’s wander through a few ideas and see which one speaks to you.
Dracarys — tiny fire, huge meaning

This micro tattoo is small but hits hard. It shows Drogo breathing fire, which in tattoo form becomes a symbol of protection for the people you love. Done in blackwork with little pops of red, the color isn’t just decoration — it feels like inner strength burning up through the skin. I love that it’s subtle but stubbornly fierce.
A dragon and a sword — strength with a dramatic backdrop

This one’s a bold blackwork piece: a dragon curling around a sword, both symbols of power and courage. Placed on the back, it reads like someone who’s unbothered and ready for whatever comes their way — equal parts dramatic and composed.
Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion — color where it counts

All of Dany’s dragons in one shot, mostly blackwork with their flames in red, green, and orange. The contrast is gorgeous and that little “Dracarys” tucked in there? Perfection. It’s the kind of tattoo that says you’re not just watching from the sidelines — you’re ready to roar.
“What do we say to the god of death?” — a tiny, wise reminder

A sweet little dragon with the line beneath it, nodding to Arya and Syrio Forel’s scene. It’s a whisper of survival — the advice to run if you must — but worn like a personal mantra. In Westeros, staying alive is an art, and this is the ink version of that lesson.
House Stark — loyalty, honor, and a very cool wolf

If you vibe with what the Starks stand for, this wolf sigil in blackwork reads instantly as integrity and resilience. It’s simple, fierce, and kind of badass — the kind of mark that tells people you don’t bend easily.
Arya’s Needle — colorful and sharp

This one leans into orange tones and shows Arya with her tiny blade, Needle, and the words “Valar Morghulis.” It captures her fierceness — a mix of bright color and a darker message — the kind of piece that makes you feel ready to face anything.
House Baratheon — cute but mighty

A crowned stag in a cartoon style surrounded by flowers — it somehow manages to be adorable and commanding at once. The motto “Ours is the fury” anchors it with real weight, so it’s playful without losing its bite.
Winter is coming — a warning and a promise

That Stark line that repeats through the show — paired here with the direwolf sigil and placed on the arm — reads like a badge. It’s protective, ominous, and really badass in its placement.
The Three-Eyed Raven — mystery and memory on your back
Credit: yanomani_ami
A striking blackwork back piece that blends the Three-Eyed Raven with Iron Throne imagery — swords and eyes and that eerie feeling of seeing everything. It’s dramatic in the best way.
A song of ice and fire — a full-back epic

Full-back coverage showing the fight between ice and fire: Night King versus Daenerys, white walkers, direwolves, dragons. There’s no empty space left — just a full-on tapestry of the story.
Mother of Dragons — framed, regal, and a little terrifying

Dany in a framed, queenly portrait with baby Drogon and the word “judgment” beneath. It’s queen energy — regal, fiery, and a tiny bit terrifying in the best way.
House Greyjoy — resilience born of the sea

If Theon or the Greyjoy story speaks to you, this one focuses on their famous words and their resurrection ritual — dunking and coughing up water to come back stronger. It’s an odd little myth, but the tattoo feels like getting baptized by your own chaos and walking out tougher.
Tyrion Lannister — wit, loyalty, and color
Credit: harryhuntertattoo
Tyrion’s famous line with the Lannister sigil and a Hand of the King symbol — this one uses reds and oranges for vibrance while the lion sits in moodier black and gray. It’s a piece about leaving the past and stepping into something new.
A Targaryen and a Stark — torn between fire and duty
Credit: mayconcorbie
This black-and-gray forearm piece is basically Jon Snow’s identity crisis rendered in ink: a sword with a dragon on one side and a direwolf on the other. It’s perfect if you like storytelling pieces that live on your arm.
The North remembers — vengeance in portrait form
Credit: mares_tattooist
A lifelike Arya in her vengeance era — this captures the moment she takes down Walder Frey. It’s dark, clever, and oddly poetic. If you want a piece that carries narrative weight, this one has it.
Cartoon Daenerys — cute, geometric, and fierce
Credit: christine_pang
A cartoon take on Dany in her blue dress with Drogon on her shoulder, framed inside a geometric shape. It’s whimsical but still proudly dragon-adjacent.
A mini Arya Stark — small but full of backbone

A compact blackwork Arya standing with Needle — the tiny rebel who never backs down. It’s a reminder that you don’t need size to have strength.
Inspiring Arya quote — fear cuts deeper than swords
Credit: terrygrow
“Fear cuts deeper than swords.” Worn as a motivational piece, it’s a straight-up call to face things head-on like Arya. The quote resonates even more when you remember everything she went through to get where she did.
Night King — icy, haunting, unforgettable
Credit: kevindelasheras
A black-and-gray forearm piece showing the Night King and an undead dragon, with icy-blue eyes and even the flames feeling cold. It’s eerie and beautifully chilling.
“The lone wolf dies…” — family over solitude
Credit: yoaltizitl_sa
A simple dire wolf with the line beneath it, referencing Sansa and Arya’s bond. It’s a quiet reminder that while solitude can teach you things, it’s family and connection that keep you whole.
Matching tattoos — shared lines that stick
Credit: xchicoassisx
Matching “All men must die” and “All men must serve” tattoos for you and your person. Deep, stark, and perfect if you want something that’s both meaningful and visually strong.
The iconic Olenna — poison with a wink

A cartoon Olenna sipping the poison that takes Joffrey down — and her final, savage confession: “Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me.” It’s darkly witty and unapologetic.
