He Came With Bones, Horns, and Runes
Rooted in ancient myth and conjured with chaotic precision, Veles Marka channels the dark god of Slavic folklore into a symmetrical emblem of power. With elements of bone, beast, and rune, this piece is more than a deity—it’s a force of legacy, wild nature, and the unknown. At 1MM Tattoo, designs like this come alive through sharp contrast, geometry, and symbolic storytelling. Whether you’ve met Veles in myth or feel drawn to his underworld dominion, this design was crafted to embody ancestral shadows and eternal wisdom.

Veles Marka was drawn with a mix of Slavic mythology and dark spiritual symbolism in mind. The tattoo’s blackwork style is grounded in bold contrast, micro-detailing, and rune-inspired framing to form a piece that feels both tribal and sacred. 1MM Tattoo specializes in this intersection—where folklore meets precision.

The Marka of Veles – When Bones Spoke and Forests Listened
They say Veles marked his followers not with words, but with bones.
In the deep grove where sunlight feared to enter, he rose—cloaked in fur, crowned in horns, his voice a low growl that stirred the trees. The bear who walked beside him had no flesh, only memory. The owl on his shoulder blinked through lifetimes. And in his hand, a staff carved with the names of those who had vanished without sound.
He found the outcast. Marked him. And in that mark, the outcast saw visions—rivers reversing, wolves kneeling, and stars collapsing in reverence.
Years later, the man returned, not as himself—but as a vessel. Bones spoke. Forests listened. And Veles walked again.
