Just for reference, the pyramid with the ice cream cone on top is the Pyramid of Khafre. Khafre is also believed to have built the Sphinx after his pyramid in the 4th Dynasty. In this tattoo, the Sphinx has a nose; however, the original lost its nose in around 1000AD. 

This new wave style Egyptian tattoo cleanly separates the abstract from realism in stunning fashion. The beautiful constellations, bright purple and fiery orange in color, are fantastic but are somehow upstaged by the clarity of detail found in the brickwork of the Sphinx and three Pyramids. This is an epic tattoo!

This sleeve is beautifully balanced in the fine facial features. It’s well complemented by crisp black and gray shading. It’s an expensive piece of artwork, but by the looks of things, it’s a lot cheaper than the watch the subject is wearing on his wrist.

The elements of this piece are excellent; however, the overall space and line work give the pharoah a bit too much of a moon face. If the jawline was just a little bit longer, the image would make for a better overall tattoo. The serpent of the uraeus and the braid work in the pharaoh‘s beard are both well-inked.

This is a badass mummy you’d be extremely unlikely to replicate for your office Halloween party. Despite being very dark, the linework and shading are clear, concise, and flawlessly executed. The clarity of the torn material is realistic enough that you’d scratch and sniff it to check how nasty it is. This is an expert piece of body art.

This is a rare dotwork style tattoo depicting an Egyptian pharaoh and creates shading colors much different from those found on more traditional works of gray and black. In this piece, the uraeus features a vulture that symbolizes Nekhbet, an ancient protective goddess representative of Upper Egypt.
