Rihanna Falcon Tattoo

I love this tattoo for those of us who appreciate tattoo's I think this

looks really good. I also loved where she chose to put it. The tattoo means ``Falcon: a light 

that shines in the darkness! Never close their eyes during sleep. This came straight from her Tweet. 

Here is some info on the use of the falcon in Ancient Egyptian art from TourEgypt.net

“The sacred bird of the falcon-headed solar god Horus, it was also regarded as his Ba. 

The falcon was a bird that had protective powers, and was frequently linked with 

royalty, where it was depicted as hovering over the head of the pharaoh, with 

outstretched wings. The falcon was also sacred to Montu, god of war, and Sokar, 

god of the Memphite necropolis.The bird of prey was sometimes associated with 

Hathor, ‘The House of Horus’. The son of Horus, Qebehsenuef who guarded the 

canopic jar of the intestines, was a falcon-headed god. The human headed 

ba-bird was sometimes given the body of a falcon.”

Let me know your thoughts!!
