Anubis Tattoo Photo #3256

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.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

Neck tattoos are among the most visible placements, making a confident statement. The area suits small, detailed designs behind the ear or bold pieces on the side or back of the neck.
