Egyptian tattoos typically follow the same archetype as those that honor Greek mythology. For instance, Egyptian gods and goddesses are particularly popular. Like with their Greek counterparts, Egyptian deities are known to play distinctive roles in maintaining order (and sometimes mischief) on both earthly and ethereal matters. One thing that separates Egyptian gods and goddesses from those in other ancient periods and civilizations, is that nearly all of them have the heads of animals and bodies of humans. This makes them especially appealing as tattoo subject matter. The most commonly requested Egyptian god and goddess tattoos include the following (in alphabetical order):
- Amun – God of the Air
- Anubis – God of the Dead
- Hathor – Goddess of the Sky and Fertility
- Horus – God of the Sky
- Isis – Goddess of Good Fortune and Protector of the Dead
- Nut and Geb – God and Goddess of the Sky and Earth
- Osiris – God of the Underworld
- Ptah – God of Craftsmen
- Ra – God of the Sun
- Sekhmet – Goddess of War
- Set – God of the Desert and Chaos
- Thoth – God of Knowledge
Beyond the cast of divine beings, other popular Egyptian tattoo subjects include the following (in alphabetical order):
- Camels
- Desert wasteland
- Felines
- Hieroglyphic symbols such as the ankh (key of life)
- Pharaohs and queens
- Pyramids
- Sarcophagus
- Scarab (type of beetle)
As you can see, there are a large number of very cool themes to consider for this subject, and you probably have one or more in mind. What you really want to know at this very moment, is which tattooist is most qualified to meet or exceed your expectations. If located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) you’ll be pleased to know that our downtown Queen Street West studio (view directions) has the Egyptian tattoo artist you’re searching for.

What Separates Adrenaline from Other Studios When Seeking a Tattoo Artist for an Egyptian Tattoo in Toronto
Specializes in Styles that Work with Egyptian Themes
The following styles are idyllic, whether you desire Egyptian hieroglyphics, deities, or another subject referenced above.
Realism
Even though Egyptian tattoos are often steeped in mythology, Realism is usually the preferred style of tattooing to make a given subject come to life. In the featured image below (far left) we see an incredible representation of Anubis (God of the Dead) who looks as if he’s ready to walk off the skin and into our realm. Adrenaline Toronto’s Jony Somoza (view bio) is the city’s premier Realism specialist who also has a clear penchant of Egyptian themes.
Script + Symbol
Adrenaline’s Jony Somoza also excels in script lettering and symbols, which is a requisite skill for Egyptian hieroglyphics.
Black & Grey
Our Toronto tattoo shop’s Jony Somoza is the GTA’s top black & grey specialist as well, which matches up for a variety of Egyptian themes, including the likes of the intricate ankh shown in the middle of the featured image below.
