CUSTOM INK | Shen | Archive


 

I have a hundreds of design which have been created since 2014. Most of them I haven't yet managed to get around to sharing on line.


I am trying to rectify this in 2022, but looking through the archives and posting a few here and there!

Final Design



Sacred Shen Ring | Custom Tattoo Design | Punctured Artefact
Custom Art


This design features a Shen Symbol, water, Icosahedron, looping circles, tetrahedron, geometric mandala, flower of life & initials



| SYMBOLISM | In ancient Egypt it was represented in hieroglyphsas a stylised loop of a rope.


The shen ring is most often seen carried by the falcon god Horus.


It was used as a magical aid; during the 3rd and 4th Dynasties it was worn around the neck for protection.


Because the circle had no end, the shen-ring was regarded as the symbol of infinity, and when it encircled the sun, as the symbol of the eternity of the universe.


 

| TATTOO FLASH |


I created a similar design, which you can now find in my tattoo Tattoo Flash Store

| Final Design |


Harmonics Icon 1

| Symbolism | A Shen ring is a circle with a line at a tangent to it. The word ‘shen' in ancient Egyptian means ‘encircle’ & therefore linked to eternity |












FEATURED TATTOO FLASH | Sacred 27 | Sacred Shen Ring | Punctured Artefact


Shen Icon 2

| Symbolism | The Shen ring represents eternal protection |

















This design is inspired by the eternal universe, symbolism, mandalas, platonic solids & sacred geometry. The scale of this design is ideal for a forearm.
