Because I posted my star wars tattoo, I figured I would post my other ones.

Here is my back piece, started in 2012 and finished in 2017. This was my first tattoo actually

Hello!

Maybe you can help with this. I'm a mythology enthusiast and my favorites are egyptian myths so I got a few tattoos about it. Lately I've been really worried that this could actually be appropriative and disrespectful.

I'm wondering if I should cover them up or is it fine for a foreign to have this kind of tatts?

You got these tattoos in the full recognition of what the source materials mean, because of your appreciation of that source material, and that is neither disrespectful nor appropriative. Are you claiming ownership of this culture through your tats? From the way you've phrased this ask, the answer to that is no. I'm also going to go out on a limb here and assume they're not like, wildly inappropriate depictions of Egyptian gods either. So you're fine. Actually you're several steps up from the people wearing ankh pendants just because "spooky goth aesthetic" lmao and even those are largely fine.

Forgive both my awkward attempts at photographing my own arm, and that this is still bruised and swollen, but behold the new addition to my tattoo!

Part 5 of tattoos I've designed for people.

This one is mine, but I haven't decided when/where to get it or where to put it 😅

Two different concepts of an Egyptian scarab, one just two minute line art, and the other hours of trying to spontaneously learn American traditional tattoo technique.

^The tattoo I’m wanting to get on either my left middle or pointer finger… maybe even one of my hips, haha. (Probably my finger.)

I really love the ankh symbol. <3

As I continue adding to my prehistoric sleeve, take a look at the most recent addition to my arm – a marine-dwelling ammonite! This group of extinct mollusks died out about 66 million years ago, having lived during the dinosaurs’ heyday of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. They are also excellent index fossils, helping to link the rock layer in which a particular species is found to specific geologic time periods.

The name "ammonite" was inspired by the spiral shape of their shells, which resemble tightly coiled rams' horns. Pliny the Elder called them ammonis cornua ("horns of Ammon") because the Egyptian god Ammon was typically depicted wearing rams' horns. Fossilized ammonites show an enormous range in size, from the very small to the height of a human, but this one fits perfectly on my tricep! 🦑
