The sands of time have hidden many of Ancient Egypt’s secrets for thousands of years

Some of those secrets have been discovered in the texts and hieroglyphs that this ancient civilization left behind

Of the symbols from the past that has stood the test of time and is still universally recognized is the “Eye of Horus” and “Eye of Ra”.

Let the artists at ALL DAY Tattoo, Bangkok’s #1 fully licensed studio perform magic on your skin with this powerful piece

 

Horus was the divine child of Isis and Osiris

Born to Isis after the epic battle between Set and Horus’s father Osiris

Which resulted in the murder and dismemberment of Osiris

Egyptian mythology tells the story of how Isis retrieved the body parts of her murdered husband and used her magic to resurrect him to conceive their son Horus

Isis then took her son Horus and went into hiding in the Nile marshes to protect her child from the wrath of Set

Once Horus matured and was powerful enough to avenge his father’s death, Horus and Set would face off in a fight where Horus’s eye was gouged out and Set was said to have lost a testicle

Horus’s eye was regenerated by another Egyptian deity and given back to him, but there are different versions of this mythical conflict

In one version it is said that the god Thoth intervenes and provides assistance in regenerating the eye of Horus

In another version it is believed that the goddess Hathor restores Horus’s eye by anointing it with the milk of a gazelle

Horus is often depicted as a falcon or a human with a falcon head wearing the Double Crown of Egypt. The Uraeus which was worn on the foreheads of the gods and pharaohs, was a symbol representing light, royalty, and protection from harm

His name means “he who is above” or “he who is distant.”

Ancient Egyptians worshipped the falcon and believed the body of the falcon represented the heavens while the eyes represented the sun and the moon

Horus is considered one of the most significant ancient Egyptian deities, known as the god of the sky as well as the god of kingship

 

Due to the fact that Horus’s eye was gouged out and then subsequently healed and regenerated, is the reason why this symbol was widely used and recognized in ancient Egypt to represent healing, protection, and well-being

The Eye of Horus was used in many capacities in ancient Egypt to represent different things due to its powerful symbolism

It was believed to have protective magical powers and was used in amulets, funerary offerings, and ritual temple offerings to the gods

In Egyptian myth, it is said that Horus offered his restored eye to his deceased father Osiris

Because of its magical healing properties, it was said to have sustained Osiris in the afterlife and is the reason it was given as ritual offerings to the dead

Beginning in the New Kingdom, it was known as the “wedjat” or “udjat” meaning whole, completed, or uninjured eye

The Eye of Horus with its restorative power made it a symbol of healing and protection against evil

Wedjat eye amulets first appeared in the late Old Kingdom and were used for some two thousand years up until Roman times

Ancient Egyptians were usually buried with many different amulets and magical incantations, with the Eye of Horus being one of the most popular

The Eye of Horus could be commonly found on the chest of the deceased or placed in the incision through which the internal organs were removed

 

This ancient symbol has the power to protect both the living and the dead from evil forces and magic

It represents healing, regeneration, protection, sacrifice, and royal power

The Eye of Horus is made up six different elements representing hearing, touch, taste, smell, thought, and vision

The elements of the eye are also associated with sacred mathematics with ½ smell, ¼ vision, 1/8 thought, 1/16 hearing

1/32 taste, 1/64 touch. Altogether representing the whole

This makes it a great tattoo choice for anyone looking for other worldly protection and a design with deep spiritual meaning

It is also a versatile design which can be part of a larger piece that incorporates the falcon headed god or a smaller tattoo with bold lines to emphasis the power of the eye

This design looks great in many different tattoo styles and body placements

If you are looking for something more realistic and detailed as a tribute to the gods and their power, then it is best to place this design on a larger area such as the back or upper arm

A larger area allows for more detailed work which can really make this piece pop

If you are looking for a simple statement piece, these smaller designs can be well done on the wrist, ankle, behind the ear, or the back of the neck

Ben Kaye is a hyper-realism tattooer who works out of the world renowned shop ‘Ship Shape Tattoo’ located in the beautiful Auckland, New Zealand.

One of the many things that I think makes Ben’s work so special is that he takes his own incredibly unique reference photos that he uses for the majority of his work. This has became such a strong passion for him that he decided to share that gift with the rest of the tattoo artist community in a very cool way.

In this interview, Ben talks a little about what the dynamic of their wildly successful shop looks like, the beginning jitters and never-ending pressure of being a tattoo artist, Karen caliber clients, and more. Thank you in advance for reading – enjoy!

 

So first off, I just want to state the obvious; that Ship Shape is easily and undeniably one of the most talented tattoo shops on the entire planet. What is it exactly that’s in the air over there that’s breeding such talent? What might you guys contribute your overall success as a team to, and can you talk a little bit about the dynamic between you guys in the studio?

First off, you are correct.  We are fucking awesome.  Thank you very much.  Ship Shape is a place to learn and exchange ideas and be honest with each other.  It was started like that by Matt, and has carried with the three of us owning it together.  That kind of mentality towards learning and being open with each other about what we do, breeds good tattooists.  I also don’t think it’s always easy to find a studio where everyone is a real team – there is no pettiness or competitiveness between us.  To keep the atmosphere great, we are selective about who works here.  New artists do a long trial to make sure they are the right fit and won’t fuck up the dynamic.  We are all good mates! 

Can you describe to me the feeling when you did your first ever tattoo? When was it, what was going through your head, how did it turn out? (Photo please if possible) 

My first tattoo was a tribal seahorse in JB Malaysia.  It took forever!  My forehead was dripping with sweat.  I remember it being fucking huge, but you can see in the photo, it’s tiny. It ended up nothing like the original design, I kept having to change it.  Whenever anyone came over, I would sweat even more.  To be honest, the main thing I remember was the sweat. I sweat a lot less when I tattoo these days. 

 

 

It’s no secret that all of the tattoos you create are built to stand the rest of time. If you feel comfortable sharing, can you talk just a little bit about what goes into creating a tattoo that’s truly built-to-last? 

Again, thank you!  I think it really comes down to the basics.  Full, heavy saturation and contrast being the main ones. The more contrast the better especially with colour, when the mid tones fade back over time then the contrast is the thing that will keep it looking good for longer.

I really love what you’ve been doing with @Reference_87. I think it is a groundbreaking and convenient tool for artists who are wanting to take their tattooing to the next level. Can you talk to me a little bit about all that you’ve put into this project?

Reference87 has been a labour of love really.  It’s fantastic to be able to take my passion for tattooing and my passion for photography and bring something new to the community.  It has been a lot of work, and continues to be as we are still expanding and always adding references to the site.  Seeing other tattooists use those reference images and produce something new is amazingly exciting! Reference87 .com 🙂

If you could go back in time to when you very first started tattooing, and give your old self  key pieces of advice, what would they be?

1. Move to New Zealand sooner! 
2. There was a period where I worked on my own for 2 or 3 years before I moved to NZ. At the time, it was good.  It would have been a lot nicer if I had worked with people.  If I could go back in time and tell myself not to work alone for as long. Plus, I would have progressed faster. 
3. Read more art books. Read Art and Fear sooner.

Most bizarre experience thus far with a client?

We play this game at every studio Christmas party – Worst Client of the Year.  I don’t have a lot of weird or bizarre clients.  When I play this game with other people they have clients who want ‘C*MSLUT’ tattooed on their forehead and what not.  I have tattooed some really interesting people.  Back in the day, my worst clients were prostitutes and gangsters wanting terrible things on their faces.  These days my worst clients are just Karens. My clientele has drastically changed over the years.

What are a couple of things that you wish each of your clients knew, things that may save both of you guys headache and frustration?

How much nicer I am to clients who bring food!  Also to trust the process, and know the design will be ready on the day with the requests they have outlined and everything is going to be ok.  Relax and enjoy the experience!  

Biggest change you hope/expect to see in the tattoo industry over the next 1 to 3 years or so? 

I hope everything goes back to normal so I can travel back to the U.S, visit friends and family.  We have already lost a couple of beloved tattoo Conventions that were massive to the industry, I’m hoping they come back in one form or another.

Most challenging part of being a tattoo artist?

Most people don’t realize but it is genuinely a very high pressure job.  Especially when you get to a certain level. Every day you have to produce something that lasts forever, every piece has to be better than the last.  Five days a week!  You’re only as good as the piece you just finished, that eerie fact is always there.  Keeping that momentum going, to constantly produce your best, all the time, is a challenge.



Most rewarding part of being a tattoo artist?

The people we interact with. Not only the artists but the clients I interact with..  I’ve met some amazing people who have done some amazing things.  Tattooing manages to attract a diverse range of people. It’s by far my favourite thing! 

Thanks so much for giving me an opportunity to talk with you! – Ben Kaye

Moon tattoos, inspired by the lunar phases, are a trendy form of body art

They typically depict crescent or full moon designs and may include other symbols related to the moon such as stars, clouds, and celestial bodies

People get these tattoos to symbolize their connection to the moon’s energy or simply for their aesthetic appeal

Whichever the reason, moon tattoos are a distinct and impressive way of expressing oneself through body art

 

The moon has been a symbol of great importance throughout history, with many ancient cultures such as the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Chinese, believing in its power and significance

In ancient Egyptian mythology, the goddess Isis was often depicted as a lunar deity and the full moon was associated with her power and wisdom

Similarly, the ancient Greeks associated the moon with the goddess Artemis and the Romans with their goddess Luna

In ancient China, the moon was seen as a symbol of yin energy, representing femininity, darkness, and the subconscious

It was believed to hold special power and was associated with the idea of completion and perfection

Many ancient cultures also linked the moon to time and used the lunar calendar, based on the moon’s cycles, to mark time and predict events such as eclipses and optimal planting times

In many spiritual and religious beliefs, the moon is closely tied to the spiritual realm, and is believed to have the power to connect individuals with the divine

The full moon is often viewed as a time of heightened spiritual energy, and rituals and ceremonies are frequently held during this phase

The moon’s symbolism has a deep and rich history that has spanned across cultures and beliefs and continues to hold significance for many people today

 

Moon tattoos can hold a range of meanings, depending on the specific design and context. Some popular interpretations include:

• Intuition and emotion: As the moon is often linked to intuition, emotion, and the subconscious, a moon tattoo may symbolize a connection to these aspects of oneself
• Change and growth: The waxing and waning of the moon is often used as a symbol of change and personal development, so a moon tattoo may represent the wearer’s own journey and the transformations they have experienced
• Femininity: The moon is often associated with femininity and goddesses, so a moon tattoo may be a way to celebrate and honor femininity and female power
• Spirituality: The full moon is often associated with spiritual energy, so a moon tattoo may symbolize a connection to spirituality and the supernatural
• Time: The cycles of the moon are used to mark the passage of time, so a moon tattoo may represent the fleeting nature of life

 

Moon tattoo designs can vary greatly, from a single crescent or full moon, to a series of phases, or even combined with other celestial bodies like stars and planets

Some individuals may incorporate other symbols such as flowers, animals, or elements that hold personal significance to them

Moon tattoos can be done in realistic or stylized, abstract designs

The size and placement of the tattoo can also add to the meaning and significance of the tattoo for the wearer

 

 

Realistic Style

When aiming to depict the moon in a realistic manner, these types of designs are often paired with elements such as astronauts or other space-themed imagery to symbolize the scientific aspect of the moon

 

Minimalistic Style

This style features simple and minimalistic lines, usually depicting a simplified outline of one of the moon’s phases, with minimal shading and detail. It’s ideal for a delicate and small tattoo that represents the symbolic femininity of the moon

 

Red Moon

The red moon holds a powerful symbolism, often representing change, transformation, and rebirth

The color red is associated with emotions such as passion and power, and the occurrence of a red moon is considered a significant event

Many spiritual beliefs hold that the red moon is a time of heightened spiritual energy and is associated with the idea of transformation and rebirth

Some people believe that the red moon can connect them with the divine and that it is a time for self-reflection and introspection

 

Watercolor Style

Watercolor moon tattoos incorporate the imagery of the moon with the fluid, ethereal aesthetic of watercolor art

This style features soft, blending colors and a loose, flowing brushstroke that creates a dreamy, ephemeral look

The use of watercolor can add depth and emotion to the tattoo, highlighting the connection to intuition and the subconscious that is often associated with the moon

Additionally, the watercolor style is often associated with art and creativity, so a watercolor moon tattoo may symbolize the wearer’s artistic expression or connection to the creative process

 

Moon Mandalas

Moon mandalas symbolize unity and completeness, as the circular shape of the mandala represents the infinite and the presence of the moon within it symbolizes the cyclical nature of life

They can also stand for balance, inner peace and self-discovery

The intricate designs can serve as a tool for the mind to focus on and aid the individual in their journey of self-discovery

 

Sun and Moon Designs

Sun and moon tattoos are frequently chosen to symbolize the balance between two contrasting elements

Both the sun and the moon hold great significance in various cultures and religions, and are often used to depict the duality of life

The sun is commonly associated with vitality, strength, and radiance, while the moon is associated with enigma, emotional intelligence and femininity

Together, the sun and moon can signify equilibrium between light and dark, masculine and feminine, and the balance between the conscious and the subconscious
