A well executed tattoo featuring Horus the Falcon God, also known as the Sun God looking out to the sun rising over the pyramid, all three are shaded exceptionally well with impeccable line work throughout the piece. Horus, often also depicted as a hawk or an eagle, was the Egyptian God of the sky and protector of the ruling King. As a sky god, Horus was thought to contain the sun and the moon, each represented by one of the Falcon’s eyes, and as Horus was also said to be the God of war and hunting he became the symbol of majesty and power as well as the model for the Pharaohs who were said to be Horus in Human form. This cool tattoo also features the Eye of Horus, an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection and good health. Overall, a great composition celebrating one of Egypt’s most significant deities.

Bastet is now considered to be the Goddess of cats, protection, joy and love. However this tattoo sees her as the war Goddess represented by the blade in her hand and her armored attire.

Cats were also considered to represent the Goddess Bast, and therefore the mummification process upon death was extended to them to be given in offering to Bast. This art work is great, heavy shading and beautiful highlights bring this tattoo to life and the Egyptian style collar done in fine detail adds a regal feel to the piece.

In ancient Egypt the falcon represented the God, Horus whose right eye was the sun, symbolic of power, and his left eye the moon, symbolic of healing.

The sphinx were thought of as guardians and often flanked the entrances to temples and royal tombs. The Great Sphinx of Giza, which is the largest and most famous, has become an emblem of Egypt, often appearing on coins and stamps. This is a great composition with a well shaded Sphinx, winged and draped in royal headdress at the heart of the tattoo, with rising sun backdrop and the eye of Horus above for added protection. A cool design and a unique Sphinx brand honoring one of the most iconic Egyptian images with pride on the ultimate canvas.

 

10. Anubis and Horus Egyptian Canopic Jars Tattoo

Almost 100 Egyptian Tattoos That Will Blow Your Mind

A beautiful tattoo of a rather macabre subject, canopic jars featuring Anubis, protector of the dead, and Horus, God of the sky, war and hunting. Jars like these were used by the ancient Egyptians to store organs of the deceased in order to be carried with them to the afterlife. Four canopic jars were used to store the stomach, intestines, lungs and liver, all thought to be needed in the afterlife. The heart, however, was left in the body as it was considered to be the seat of the soul. This ink inscribe has awesome shading work making it photo realistic, and the heavy black around the jars gives them a three dimensional effect really making them stand out against skin. All in all great work, kudos to the artist for creating something special that will tell a story and last a lifetime.

8. Anubis, Protector of the Dead

Almost 100 Egyptian Tattoos That Will Blow Your Mind

Smooth shading and super fine line work define this awesome tattoo of Anubis, the jackal God, protector of the dead and God of funerals and death. Anubis was associated with mummification and the afterlife in Egyptian religion and was depicted as a dog or a human with a canine head. With Anubis being so closely associated with death and the beyond, it is fitting that he is depicted here with decaying flesh, bones visible though the skin falling away. This is quite a beautiful piece, wonderfully macabre with outstanding shading throughout and perfectly placed on the chest, the outline of the art flowing with the curves of the body. Lovely work on an awesome forever brand.

 

7. Isis, Egyptian Goddess Tattoo

Almost 100 Egyptian Tattoos That Will Blow Your Mind

A beautiful depiction of Egyptian Goddess, Isis who became one of the most important deities of ancient Egypt. Isis was a mourner associated with rites connected to the dead,  a magical healer who cured the sick and brought the dead to life, and a mother who was a role model to all women. Also known as protector of the dead, Isis was the mother of Horus, and was worshiped as the patroness of nature and magic. Represented here with the sun disk over her head, her headdress is also a throne, as her name means “throne”, and she was an important representation of the Pharaohs power. This tattoo has excellent fine line work and gorgeous coloring from wings to adornments and is overall a beautifully inked brand celebrating this famed Goddess of ancient Egypt in glorious bold art work that will keep wearer protected and healed for eternity.

 

6. Horus and Anubis

Almost 100 Egyptian Tattoos That Will Blow Your Mind

A nicely placed tattoo over both shoulders depicting Horus, God of the sky, war and hunting on one side, and Anubis, God of death and guide to souls passing on to the afterlife, on the other. Both are clad in heavy armor as if ready to do battle and precisely injected ink makes them stand out on pale skin in frightful, bold and realistic form. Lining and shading work on this piece is truly spectacular, bringing these two storied characters to life in three dimensional perspective as they step forth into the battle of the ancients and of the ages. Beautiful.

I love this rib tattoo with it’s intense coloring, hyper smooth shading and exquisite highlighting, all making it a one of a kind, bold and stylish inscribe of distinctly Egyptian aesthetic. Featuring Anubis, Egyptian God of death, dressed to impress, the setting sun at his back as he watches over moonlit pyramids, this tattoo is quite sensational and the level of professionalism in the artistry clearly on display. From the saturated deep blues and wild orange-yellows, to the perfect highlighting throughout, this is one clean, crystal clear brand proudly honoring Anubis in breath taking form. Absolutely awesome.

3. Inside the Tomb

Almost 100 Egyptian Tattoos That Will Blow Your Mind

We take a trip inside an Egyptian temple with this insane full chest tattoo depicting an inner chamber of an ancient tomb or sacred space held up by columns of marble or the likes complete with hieroglyphs carved in, and at the forefront shorter columns topped by incredibly detailed busts of iconic Egyptian figures. Also included are wings spreading out protecting the deceased within the tomb, and a large highlighted Ankh in the center of the inscribe symbolizing eternal life. The detail in this piece is amazing and with crazily good shading and perfect line work, this is one unique and bad ass tattoo.

 

2. Egyptian War and Death Tattoo

Almost 100 Egyptian Tattoos That Will Blow Your Mind

This is an awesome rendition of Horus, the Falcon and Anubis, the Jackal in battle, possibly, or perhaps guardians of the gates to a mysterious world somewhere backwards or sideways in time. Both great protectors of Egypt, these icons are inked beautifully in this amazing upper back tattoo. Made to look as though chiseled into the wall of a pyramid with fine cracks throughout, this brand is perfectly shaded bringing out every detail from the ruffles in clothing to the curves of the muscles. Further supporting the guardian theory, central to the work is a well highlighted Ankh for eternal life and the Eye of Horus for protection and power. In battle or in harmony this tattoo will bring good tidings to the wearer and watch over the soul well into the afterlife.
