The eye of Horus is the dominant eye tattoo of Ancient Egypt and it was also known as the “sound eye” or “Wadjet“. The myth is that Horus had his eye shattered by the god Set in a battle and then the god Thoth pieced it back together and restored it for Horus. It was a sign of power, wisdom, prosperity and protection for those who wore it. It was also known as the “eye of Ra”, which was a powerful destructive force linking with the power of the sun.
