Anubis Tattoo Photo #3246

Anubis is one of the most recognizable figures from ancient Egyptian mythology: a jackal-headed guardian linked to mummification and the journey to the afterlife. The jackal head itself works like a powerful mask in tattoo form.

Abstract tattoos break away from literal representation, using shapes, colors, and unconventional compositions to create expressive, non-figurative designs. The style prioritizes feeling and movement over realism.

The thigh offers one of the body's largest flat surfaces, making it ideal for detailed, large-scale tattoos. The area is easy to conceal and generally comfortable during the tattoo process.
