Buddha Tattoo Designs Buddha tattoos belong to the category of religious tattoos. They can be worn by adherers of Buddhism as well as those who are deeply interested in it and eastern philosophy in general. It is believed to make people invulnerable to evil, though some argue that it is non-Buddhist to adorn the body.

Still, Buddha tattoos can be treated as pieces of art and as a good means to express deep ideas and beliefs as well as moral principles for Gautama Buddha is not a God but a teacher who offered people the way how to get rid of sufferings by ceasing cravings and wishes.

Buddha maintained that everybody can reach the so-called Nirvana, and there’s no need to worship anything of anybody, that’s why perhaps Buddha tattoos wouldn’t be by any means offensive as it could be in Christianity. Zen-Buddhists even maintain that Buddha resides in every one of us.

Buddhist tattoos may depict Mandala or Dharma wheels, lotus blossoms as well as Buddha himself. Mandala wheel has a core geometrical figure with layers of the universe around it. It helps people concentrate during meditation while Dharma wheel symbolizes the cardinal change in life direction and features eight spokes each of which stands for an “Eight-Fold Noble Path.”

Lotus tattoos can be colored pink, white, red or blue. The choice of the color scheme depends on what you’d like reveal. For instance, a pink lotus blossom stands for Buddha, that’s why you can incorporate it into your Buddha tattoo. It should be an opened blossom to show the full enlightenment of Buddha, his highest purity.

Buddha tattoos do not necessarily depict Buddha; they might not include the image of him at all. It can be substituted by a lion, a symbol of regal strength, or a Dharma wheel, or a pink lotus blossom, as we have already said above, of the Bodhi tree, or Buddha’s footprints. The latter is a lovely tattoo design meaning the ever-lasting presence of the enlightened Buddha on Earth and the opportunity for everybody to follow his path.

Like all Oriental tats, Buddha tattoos are peculiar by their subtle colors, delicate lines and refined artwork. If you’ve decided for such a tattoo, find an artist who is capable of doing it properly.
