Meaning of Bastet tattoo
Bastet is one of the goddesses of the Egyptian pantheon, represented by a cat or a human body with the head of a cat. She was the daughter of Ra, god of the Sun. Although in ancient times the goddess was represented by a lioness, in the millennium before Christ she already appeared as a cat, since the cat was already, in this period, domesticated and revered by the Egyptians.
The Bastet tattoo signifies protection and fertility. It also brings in a complementary aspect between fury and peace. There are images of the goddess with her kittens, which symbolizes a maternal aspect. If you love cats and also admire the history of the Egyptian gods, perhaps the Bastet tattoo is a good choice.
