Review of the tattoo "Egyptian Gods and Goddesses"

A review of the "Egyptian Gods and Goddesses" tattoo will be interesting to those who are interested in unusual tattoos, want to stand out, and, in addition, clearly know what he wants to say with this or that image present on the body.

Preferences in the choice of Egyptian symbolism are characteristic of people of different ages and sexes, but many are attracted by the spectacular visuality, mystery and mysticism of the images. The "Egyptian Gods" tattoos are sometimes chosen without studying the inner meaning, while in Ancient Egypt they were given great importance: they directed energy flows, consolidated information, expressed adherence to the object of worship.

In modern reality, images of Egyptian gods are considered:

• a kind of protest against the main religious beliefs, often imposed on people from birth, which do not leave freedom of choice (any symbolism, including images of gods);
• talismans and amulets against ominous events, life adversities, to attract good luck (for this, variable images are chosen, it all depends on the person's knowledge and goals);
• the result of the strong influence of literary or film images (Tutankhamun, Cleopatra, Sphinx);
• symbols, testifying to belonging to the modern subculture, which chose them for their purposes.

Ancient Egyptian body drawings, judging by the information that have been preserved, contained recognizable symbols, from objects of the environment and everyday life to symbols and images of deities.The theme of tattoos, its extreme variety, numerous combinations of small and large images now defy unambiguous interpretation.

The most common images of Egyptian gods attract with richness of details, spectacular visualization, characteristic appearance, recognizability or mystery. Some of them have an ambiguous interpretation, and it is not always taken into account when choosing a sketch. Some images are only acceptable for men, but there are also drawings without any cult load. These include copies of temple frescoes, which can be supplemented with modern details or highly simplified hieroglyphs, signs such as a lotus, scarab, ankh, and a feather.

For sketches of tattoos, the location of the god or goddess matters, the design style is used not only realism, but also dotwork, sometimes the designation looks advantageous in a popular style old school... Tattoo artists have a huge selection of proposals on Egyptian themes, but before making a choice, you need to study the meaning of the image well.

Depicted with a human body and a dog's head... Jackals and dogs in the minds of the Egyptians are animals that bring the dead to the afterlife. In the modern view, the tattoo is associated with the requirements of justice and supreme power. Sometimes such a drawing testifies to the search by the owner of a special life path or purpose in this world. Women can use the goddess Input instead of Anubis, with the head of a dog.

God himself rarely appears in plots, but the eye of God is a symbol-amulet, which is called the all-seeing eye... It has many meanings - from giving power and gaining protection to the resurrection of life and the personification of the Sun or the Universe. Most often, the sign indicates a continuous cycle of life and death, but sometimes it is chosen to gain knowledge about the hidden essence of things, contact with cosmic wisdom, and obtain secret knowledge. Each of the world religions has the All-Seeing Eye, but the meaning of the image is different. For Christians, it personifies strength and light.

A cat or woman with a cat's head is popular with both sexes, the most primitive meaning is love or joy. The sign has no restrictions on location, color combinations and sizes. People inclined to seek deep meaning in the Egyptian cat use the characteristics of human or feline nature, for some it is a symbol of family happiness, and for their opponents - independence.

Pharaoh- a symbol of the eternal confrontation between good and evil, day and night. Its meaning changes depending on additional attributes: with a cross - immortality, a crown in the form of the sun - spiritual enlightenment, a scepter - susceptibility to divine power, inherent in the owner of the tattoo. Amon-Ra can be portrayed in the form of a high flying falcon or a Phoenix rising from the ashes.

God of death and destruction, and this should be remembered, even if the master assures that the image is suitable for people who are militant, dominant and self-sufficient. In Egyptian mythology, he was considered the personification of evil, the words disease and cruelty were written with his sign. Depicted as an aardvark, lizard, crocodile, but not popular.

Has an extremely positive meaning, personifying harmony, family well-being, dedication and loyalty, and at the same time wisdom, reliability or leadership... It is rare and poorly described, since the image is not as spectacular as other, more popular ones, although for the owner it may mean the acquisition of a new incarnation, rebirth or spiritual rebirth.

Mother of the sky goddess Nut and the earth god Hebe. She is depicted as a lioness, a woman in a wig with a snake or a sun disc, but there is also a woman in a headdress with plants. Often there is a lioness goddess, who is preferred because of the spectacularity and spectacular visualization of the drawing.

The personification of balance, wisdom, a man with the head of an ibis, patron of knowledge and libraries, scientists and order. It is difficult to imagine people from this segment who would have resorted to such an image. However, a later interpretation means magical actions, the cunning of the Moon, maintaining balance in the Universe, and a sketch depicting a god with an ibis head gained popularity.

The winged goddess protects children and the family hearth, contributes to a successful delivery. Despite this focus, it is popular with men.

The most spectacular visualization is the sleeves with the image of an Egyptian god or goddess. They are stuffed in monochrome or color and leave an unforgettable impression. Neutral placement option - on the shoulder, back or forearm. Small signs - ankh, the eye of Horus - look spectacular on the back of the neck, between the shoulder blades, on the arm. There are no special prohibitions in choosing a location, but some symbols are advised to be treated with respect and caution.
