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."
