egyptian cat tattoos

Egyptian cat tattoos have a long history and can be found throughout history for thousands of years. In this article, I will cover some of the historical significance of Egyptian cat tattoos, and also provide the information you need to help you choose the right Egyptian cactus to release.

More than 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians began to worship cats as powerful “totemic animals” or spiritual protectors. Over time, they began to represent many different aspects of the life of the ancient Egyptians. The cat was a symbol of the feminine principle, as well as fertility and motherhood. In addition, they consider that the cat was a powerful symbol of the moon.

In the Book of the Dead, cats are mentioned as protectors against gods and evil spirits. After this, you often find statues of jeweled cats, or even mummified cats buried in graves alongside their owners.

So revered were cats in ancient Egypt that the export of cats out of the country was strictly prohibited, and killing a cat would result in an instant death penalty.

It is arguable that the Egyptians took this too far. During a war with the Persians, the Persians kidnapped and held thousands of cats hostage, demanding their immediate surrender in exchange for the kittens’ lives. Rather than tempt the punishment of the gods, the Egyptians immediately capitulated and turned their land over to the Persians.

After thousands of years of endless worship, the cat’s fortunes turned in 400 B.C. C., when the population was forbidden to worship cats. Since then, cats have returned to their status as domestic animals in Egypt.

However, the air of mysticism and spirituality has never left the cat and even today, cats are considered mystical and magical animals.

An Egyptian cat tattoo is a great way to show your individuality, as well as let the world know that you have a spiritual mystical side. They also look very exotic, and although they are very traditional, they also have a real new age feel to them.

Since this is not a very common design, you should spend some time searching through large databases of tattoo designs to choose one that you like before going to the tattoo parlor. Otherwise you will have a very limited selection to choose from when you go there.
