Channel the mystique of ancient Egypt with this bold design featuring a regal pharaoh surrounded by sacred symbols. The detailed portrait captures the pharaoh's divine authority through precise linework, while the Eye of Horus, Ankh, and scarab beetle represent protection, eternal life, and rebirth. Hieroglyphs frame the composition, adding authentic cultural depth. Ideal for upper back or outer thigh placements where the design's vertical flow complements body contours. The bold style ensures longevity with minimal shading, making it suitable for both first-time and experienced collectors. This piece works best at 6x8 inches minimum to showcase intricate details without distortion. Avoid high-movement areas to preserve the crisp lines of the pharaoh's facial features and symbolic elements.
Noticeable discomfort, prepare for some sensitivity
Expect moderate discomfort (score 40-60) primarily during detailed facial work. The upper back's thicker skin reduces pain, but intricate linework may cause brief spikes. Breathe deeply and take breaks every 45 minutes. Topical numbing is recommended for sessions over 2 hours. The artist will pace the work to minimize discomfort while preserving the design's precision.
Place this design on the upper back for maximum visibility and space to accommodate the pharaoh's portrait and surrounding symbols. The flat surface allows hieroglyphs to flow naturally with your spine. Minimum size: 6x8 inches. For a subtler option, the outer thigh (25 pain score) works well at 5x7 inches but requires careful positioning to avoid distortion during movement. Avoid ribcage placements due to high pain (72) and skin stretching. Upper back placement (40 pain score) offers moderate discomfort with minimal interference from clothing.
