This is likely a tattoo of Set (or Seth). Set was a major Egyptian god who symbolized chaos and battle. He can sometimes be mistaken for Anubis (and may be here!), the funerary god with the head of a jackal. Nobody has been quite able to figure out exactly the type of beast that represents Set, settling to describe it as a “beast” of a composite nature.

If they used this version of the mummy in those Brendan Fraser films from the early 2000s, more teenage kids would have developed terrible sleep disorders. There’s an excellent shade technique deployed right through this Egyptian tattoo, especially in the jaundiced eyes of the mummy and in the jeweled necklace it wears.

This is a beautifully realized 3D variation of the Eye of Horus. It’s drawn with great skill. However, the part that draws you in most is the deep detailed darkness of her eyeball. There’s just a small amount of gray ink and white flecked through to make it look amazing inside that sphere.

Having seen the golden face mask of Tutankhamun up close and in person (humble brag), this is the black and white photo version. This tattoo does a truly outstanding job of making it seem like the tattoo is, in fact, burnished gold. It’s tremendously executed. 

This eye looks like it has been plucked from some person’s socket, photographed, then put back in. The artist has done a remarkable job putting this into a hand tattoo; it’s sharp, clear, and has the realistic wetness of a real orb. It’s almost like it’s been stuck over the top of the bordering pyramid, which, to be honest, seems underwhelming when compared to the eye.

Here are more Egyptian tattoo designs you can take inspiration from. These are done in a wide variety of styles and techniques.
