Does anybody know where I might find some flash,
or photos suitable for tattooing, of ancient
Egyptian art? I am specifically looking for a
picture of a Nubis (Jackal head, man body). I
have a photo that I like, but it's too detailed
to do in blackwork.

Thanks

That would be Anubis, and have you tried ANY search engine?
Egyptian stuff is very popular. Look for Dover books at
your 'big name' bookstore.

I don't know if you've been to any of these places, but I'd try museums,
libraries, bookstores, and history teachers. I'd also get the name right
of the friggin' GOD that I'd be having tattooed on me, but that might be
just me.
You could ask a tattoo artist(if you can't do it yourself) to reduce the
image to a simpler form you like. Get some tracing paper and trace as
many details as you want, if all else fails.

They're getting too goddmaned popular! Don't get one! Get a REAPER,
like, in good old american tattoo style, it's basically the same thing.

cheers!

perhaps it's not the photo being too detailed, but the artist not
being talented enough.

It might not be flash, but go to any search engine and type in your diety of
chioice and voila! If you found your way in here you should be able to complete
this simple task. Also you may want to spell it properly or you won't get the
desired results: "ANUBIS"
