Egyptian God Eye of Horus or The Eye of Ra Tattoo Design

My husband and I have this tattoo, mine is on my left wrist and my husband's in on the back of his neck.
The meaning of this magical and protective symbol is what made us to do it, and I just love it. If you are thinking in getting the Eye of Ra for your next tattoo, read on... I will give you some extra tips and good information before you go and make up your mind if this design is for you or not.
The Eye Of Ra - The Eye Of Horus Tattoo

The Meaning of: The Eye of Ra or The Eye of Horus

Is a powerful symbol of protection also known as the "Eye of Horus" and the "all seeing eye". The symbol was frequently used in jewelery made of gold, silver, lapis, wood, porcelain, and carnelian, to ensure the safety and health of the bearer and provide wisdom and prosperity. However, it was also known as the "Eye of Ra", a powerful destructive force linked with the fierce heat of the sun which was described as the "Daughter of Ra".

The Eye Of Horus : The Eye Of Ra
The Eye of Horus (Wedjat)Chapter 14, Egyptian Art in David P. Silverman, Ancient Egypt, Duncan Baird Publishers, 1997. p.228 (previously Wadjet and the Eye of the Moon; and afterwards as The Eye of Ra)Wörterbuch der ägyptischen Sprache 1, 268.13 or ("Udjat")Alessandro Bongioanni & Maria Croce (ed.), The Treasures of Ancient Egypt: From the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Universe Publishing, a division of Ruzzoli Publications Inc., 2003. p.622 According to the editors, 'Udjat' was the term for amulets which used Eye of Horus design. is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection and royal power from deities, in this case from Horus or Ra. The symbol is seen on images of Horus' mother, Isis, and on other deities associated with her.
In the Egyptian language, the word for this symbol was "Wedjat".Pommerening, Tanja, Die altägyptischen Hohlmaße (Studien zur Altägyptischen Kultur, Beiheft 10), Hamburg, Helmut Buske Verlag, 2005M. Stokstad, "Art History" It was the eye of one of the earliest of Egyptian deities, Wadjet, who later became associated with Bast, Mut, and Hathor as well. Wedjat was a solar deity and this symbol began as her eye, an all seeing eye. In early artwork, Hathor is also depicted with this eye.Lady of the West at hethert.org Funerary amulets were often made in the shape of the Eye of Horus. The Wedjat or Eye of Horus is "the central element" of seven "gold, faience, carnelian and lapis lazuli" bracelets found on the mummy of Shoshenq II.Silverman, op. cit., p.228 The Wedjat "was intended to protect the king here in the afterlife"Silverman, op. cit., p.228 and to ward off evil. Ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern sailors would frequently paint the symbol on the bow of their vessel to ensure safe sea travel.Charles Freeman, The Legacy of Ancient Egypt, Facts on File, Inc. 1997. p.91

Where Is The Less Painful Part Of The Body To Get A Tattoo?
Are Tattoos Painful?
My Personal Experience

*** That's my left wrist bleeding from the new tattoo --->
Yes, they are. Let me explain myself, first. I got my first tattoo back in 2001. It's an Aries Tribal and it's located on my lower back. When I got that one done it didn't hurt as much, well at least not as much as I was expecting it to be.
My husband have many tattoos on his body,but he always complained about the pain. I guess it's all about how much pain a person can hold. Some people say that it doesn't hurt and others say that it hurts more than anything.
To tell you the truth, it does hurt, but I would say that the level of pain depends on the person and the location of the tattoo.
My second tattoo ( my left wrist Eye of Horus tattoo) picture above, hurt more than the one on my lower back. Why? I don't know, maybe it was because the skin on my wrist is more sensitive and the veins and nerves were exposed to the needle many times. It took only 25 minutes for the artist to finish my Eye of Horus tattoo on my left wrist.
I have heard that the more sensitive the area the painful the tattoo will be! SO, choose wisely and remember that the pain only last a couple of minutes, but the art will last forever... It's worth the pain!!

What Happens When You Get A Tattoo?

A tattoo is a marking made by inserting indelible ink into the layers of skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons. Tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification or branding.
Tattooing has been practiced worldwide. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, traditionally wore facial tattoos. Today one can find Berbers of Tamazgha (North Africa), M?ori of New Zealand, and Atayal of Taiwan with facial tattoos. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesian peoples and among certain tribal groups in the Taiwan, Philippines, Borneo, Mentawai Islands, Africa, North America, South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, Japan, Cambodia, New Zealand and Micronesia. Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular in many parts of the world.

- I don't have any tattoos, but I've seen many on other people that I like. And I do see it as art if done well. This one is very nice, and I was interested to learn about its meaning. I've seen the symbol before but never understood its significance.
