Illustrative Anubis Tattoo Stencil
A bold illustrative Anubis profile with detailed Egyptian ornament.
Drawn at 4 inches — the sheet prints on US Letter with a one-inch calibration ruler, so check the ruler and you know the transfer is true to size. Free for personal use, no account or watermark.
Print at 100% scale (never “fit to page”). Scale up in the print dialog for a bigger placement; avoid scaling down or fine lines may drop out on transfer paper.
What a anubis tattoo means
Anubis guided souls to the afterlife and weighed the heart against the feather of truth, so he reads as protection in death and guardianship.

Working in illustrative
Illustrative work carries sketchbook energy — varied line weight and hatching — which reads best at a size where the interior detail has room to breathe.

Size and placement
This design is drawn at 4 × 4 inches. A versatile size: the forearm, upper arm, shoulder blade or calf all take it comfortably, and it stays readable without dominating the limb.
Because the sheet carries a one-inch calibration ruler, you can print it, measure the ruler, and hold the design against the spot you have in mind before anything is committed to skin — the cheapest way to catch a sizing mistake.
Where this design fits
We list it under tattoo stencils for men because it sits alongside the heavier blackwork, tribal and irezumi pieces men ask for most.
Those are curated cross-sections rather than rules about who wears what — worth a look if this design is close but not quite right.
