This tattoo features the Egyptian god Horus, which is a somewhat misleading thing to say. The name Horus has come to be a catch-all name referring to four distinct deities, the most famous one being Heru-sa-Aset or Horus-son-of-Isis who battles the evil Set to avenge his father Osiris. He is a falcon headed deity who wears the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt.
