Egyptian Hieroglyphic Tattoos

It is very interesting if you have Egyptian hieroglyphic tattoos because not only do they look amazing but also you have so many different options to portray the same message. The tattoo can face any direction you want because the Egyptians would write in columns and in rows and the direction you read the hieroglyphs depends on the direction that the animal hieroglyphics faces are pointing. So if they point to the left you would read from left to right, pretty cool hey.

There where two forms of hieroglyphics the Egyptians used; pictorial and alphabetic that would generally be mixed together and they worked of a similar system to Chinese language where it is a mixture of words with sounds. I can relate to this personally because when I was trying to learn Chinese I would repeat a certain phrase to someone and they would not understand because I did not use the appropriate pitch/tone for particular words.

I guess when it comes to getting these hieroglyphics tattooed onto your body it does not really matter to other people because they would not understand what it means but for yourself this is a very different matter because you want meaning behind it. To put things in perspective you will be using one of the oldest languages known to man that to the Egyptians was reserved for the high Priests and people of nobility. If you want to translate your message to Egyptian Hieroglyphics then I recommend using a good source before you go ahead.

Egyptian Eye Tattoos

The “Eye of Horus” also known as the “Udjat” or “Eye of Ra” is one of the most popular Egyptian tattoos that are being shown today. It not only looks great, but also has many different meanings and symbology.

The eye of Horus is represented in 7 different hieroglyphs and means, “to make” or “one who does” and in Egyptian belief the eye was not really an instrument to see but an agent of action, protection and wrath. In fact it was such a symbol of protection that sailors would paint the eye onto their ships to have a safe travel on the seas. As a tattoo it makes sense that this symbol should provide you with protection and strength. It is actually present on the American dollar bill as a sign of strength.

This Egyptian eye was also a measurement system where the eye was actually divided into six pieces with a different measurement.

1/2 was represented by smell.

1/4 was represented by sight.

1/8 was represented by thought.

1/16 was represented by hearing.

1/32 was represented by taste.

1/64 was represented by touch.

If you wanted to get creative with your tattoo you could look further into these representations.

As you can see the Egyptian eye represents many different things but it is suitable if you want to tattoo a symbol of strength and protection, there is definitely potential for a lot of small talk if someone is to ask you why you got this particular tattoo.

Question by oq: Are all Egyptian people happy about the decision of President Mubarak?
Are all Egyptian people happy about the decision of President Mubarak that tells he will step down and do not want to be re-elected?

Best answer:

Answer by SnowWoman
I doubt it. He is just trying to buy some time so he can rally his forces and prepare one of his buddies for the presidency. I really wish a general or someone else high up in the army or police would ally with a decent opposition leader and oust that Mubarak. Problem is…Mubarak had 30 years to kill off his opposition and surround himself with loyal, mindless idiots.

Egyptian God Tattoos

If you are wearing a tattoo of an Egyptian god then it is probably best to know what it represents as well as looking awesome. I have seen many different Anubis tattoo designs, which is interesting seeing as he represents the underworld but read below for some common Egyptian gods and their meanings.

Anubis So lets start with the popular one Anubis; the Egyptians believed that he was the god of embalming and that he was the one who would weigh your heart to see whether it was light enough for you to enter the underworld (heaven). If your heart was light it meant “care free” but heavy meant “sad”, which relates to the common day saying that we have today of “carrying a heavy heart”. So it was Anubis responsibility to make sure that you would pass on to heaven and I guess it makes sense to have him as a tattoo because he is almost like a guardian angel. By putting trust in Anubis it would help your chances of eternal happiness.

Ra Ra was the god of the sun, the king of kings and he would descend into the underworld every night and then resurrect 12 hours later on the dawn. He was one of the most powerful gods and was always in conflict during the day with his enemy Apep but was always given assistance by the other gods Seth and Bastet. Ra symbolises strength and a nobility of leading the leaders; so if you were considering him as a tattoo I would recommend that you take this meaning into consideration.

Seth He was the god of the storm, desert and violence because these were all enemies of the valley of the Nile. He was actually an interesting character because he was very violent and killed Osiris, however he also helped Ra fight Apep so this would be your typical type of bad boy with a conscience. This would be a good tattoo for a fighter or someone who does not particularly play by the rules.
