Egyptian Eye Tattoo Meaning

This is a classic tattoo. The Egyptian Eye Tattoo is a symbol that represents well-being, healing, and protection. It comes from the ancient Egyptian religion. The symbol is derived from a mythical conflict between Horus and his rival Set, who tore out Horus’ eye, and it was later healed by another deity, Thoth. If someone relates to the story in their life or likes tattoos with meaning, they can get this.

This tattoo is a stylised human eye that has an eyebrow, a line connecting the inner corner of the eye to the eyebrow, and a line extending after the eye ends on the outer corner. A line goes down from where the eyeball is placed, and another extends below and toward the rear of the eye that ends in a curl. It is usually drawn in black, but grey is also used to make the shadows evident.
