The judgment of the dead when an Egyptian dies. I could get any one of the Egyptian God's for they each play a purpose. Anubis takes your heart as you confess while Ma'at's feather weighs on the scales to see if your conscious is true. If your heart outweighs the feather, Ammit the Soul Eater eats your heart, and you are in a world of nothingness. If you pass, you live a lavish life. In other words, I will always be my own judge of my heart. So I will probably get one of those God's tattooed on me at one point. Always looked at the papyrus drawings we have at home and study the reasons of what's going on.
thats exactly what i wanted to get a tattoo of and for almost the same reason. i was thinking about getting an egyptian god tattooed on the side of my thigh in all black or maybe a couple of them wrapped around my thigh in black. i was also thinking about getting hieroglyphics wrapped around my whole thigh in black but i couldnt think of anything for it to say that i would want on my body for my whole life because i am constantly changing through the years.
also i was thinking about doing something with a navy theme to honor my dad who was in the navy for over fifty years.
