Anubis Tattoo Photo #3263

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.

Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.

The wrist offers a compact area that suits fine-line work, small symbols, and script. Its visibility means the tattoo becomes part of daily life, always in the wearer's line of sight.
