I wonder if it is like a cattle brand, indicating she was the property of Michael.

NO one is asking ...

How far 'inner' in the thigh and what would a woman tattooing a man's name in her 'inner' thigh be thinking?

You ladies that have such tats ... you know what YOU were thinking ... DON'T you ?

My first impression was butterfly but the archangel seems to be a modern phenomenon as well. The depiction above is the least elaborate modern example I could find.

No. That sure looks like a Christian cross.

could this have been added after death as some form of burial ritual?

Because body tattoos are stickly prohibited in the bible

Given the name, the hidden location, that it was in Greek, and she lived in the 700’s, I’d say that she was a “secret Christian” during the time of Muslim conquering. Christians were not allowed to wear signs of their faith in most Muslim lands.
