In Cairo, hieroglyph tattoos are making a comeback, blending education with cultural identity. Students of history and archaeology are particularly drawn to these ancient symbols, which often represent values like strength, wisdom, or eternity. Unlike purely artistic designs, many clients want tattoos that can be read and translated, turning their bodies into storyboards of ancient Egypt.
Tattoo artists say the trend has drawn international attention, with tourists traveling to Egypt specifically to get historically accurate hieroglyph tattoos. Universities are also noticing the movement, calling it a modern way to celebrate Egypt’s role in world civilization.
