Scarab Tattoo Photo #9689

The scarab beetle occupies a central place in Egyptian mythology as a symbol of rebirth, the rising sun, and divine creation. The dung beetle's habit of rolling a ball across the ground mirrored the sun god Khepri pushing the sun across the sky.

With thick black outlines and flat, saturated colors, traditional tattoos are built to last. The straightforward approach prioritizes readability and impact, making these designs recognizable from a distance.

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.
