A mandala tattoo usually consists of a circle or square and often contains elaborate ornaments, abstract shapes or mystical creatures. These tattoos are almost always in a single color, sometimes supplemented with shading and captivate with their symmetrical beauty and detailed design.
The word "mandala" comes from Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language, and means "circle". The first images of mandalas were created several millennia ago. Both the Incas and various Indian tribes painted mandalas on rock and cave walls. They were later used in Buddhism and Hinduism, where they are still used today as spiritual symbols and meditation aids.
Mandala tattoos are a fascinating combination of art, history and spirituality. They are ideal for anyone who wants a profound and aesthetically pleasing tattoo.
