Make sure you get someone really good. That would be easy to **** up.

Yes I do, this picture was taken a bit longer then a month after placement.

well he will be my artist. thanks!

My first tattoo was drawn from Tut's jewelry - I"m a historian so that stuff sticks with me.

And his waiting list isn't that long due to his short time in Holland, it's growing fast though...

Check out Massimo Luciani, based in Amsterdam @ Schiffmacher & Veldhoen (https://www.instagram.com/bluetoned/)
Also did a Egyptian theme not too long ago..

Seek out an artist you like and he/she will be able to draw a good design. Say what you want and maybe find some actual pictures of hieroglyphs. This is not a good tattoo.

Hi I think you should try adding a pyramid and more Egyptian things with details. Just make sure everything flows so in the future if you want more around it, its eaiser to work with

Well, it's a small picture, but from what I can see...it's very flat and boring. It's lacking any kind of dynamic composition, it's pretty much just some hieroglyphics without any kind of shading to give it depth. I just googled Egyptian tattoos and this was one of the first hits I found. Notice how much more detailed and visually interesting it is. There's a lot cooler things you can do with an Egyptian theme. Where are you located? Maybe we can suggest some local artists.
 

I like the idea (my first tattoo was an ancient egyptian design) but the style of the sun isn't a traditional egyptian style - so it's jarring to me. Plus the sun is an egyptian god - Aten - so really if you're going to get the pharaoh and his wife (I think this is taken from Tutankhamun's funerary chair) it should be consistent.

Fair enough, just showing you the type of stuff that can be done! If you really want the hieroglyphic look, you can at least add some more shading/color or details to make it look less like just flat lines.

but the egyptian theme is cool

quality !

How about a championship belt?

This quote is rife with great tattoo ideas:
"I’ve wrestled with alligators,
I’ve tussled with a whale.
I done handcuffed lightning
And throw thunder in jail.
You know I’m bad.
just last week, I murdered a rock,
Injured a stone, Hospitalized a brick.
I’m so mean, I make medicine sick"
