Buddhist Tattoos

Buddhism, like the other great religions of the world, uses a system of symbols that echoes and reinforces its basic tenets.

Buddhist themed tattoo designs are an ever growing group as is the list of symbols that typically gets used: Bo Tree, the Buddha, a Dharma Wheel, a Kalachakra, a Lotus, a Mala, a Mandala, Om, Om Mane Padme Hum, a Stupa, a Vajra, and protective scripts written in traditional calligraphy, to name a few.

Because Buddhism has so many different forms worldwide, there is no one viewpoint that can be said to reflect the opinion of Buddhism, at large, on tattooing.
