Mandala Tattoo Designs
Mandala tattoos are some of the most eye-catching designs on the body, with their precise geometric patterns, fine lines, and countless dots. They are usually time-consuming to tattoo, but the result is super impressive! Apart from aesthetics, mandalas hold symbolic and meditative meaning as well as outstanding significance beyond their striking appearance.
DEEPER MEANING
It is believed that when you go toward the center of the mandala and enter, you will be guided through the cosmic process of changing the cosmos from a place of misery to one of bliss and joy. Moreover, according to C. G. Jung in his book Mandala Symbolism, under certain circumstances a considerable therapeutic effect on the mandala’s authors is proven and bridges over apparently hopeless spirits. Judith Cornell, in her book Mandala: Luminous Symbols for Healing, writes that mandalas symbolize one’s inner process of self-renewal and self-realization.
Countless studies have been done on these ancient and sacred symbols, which contain the interconnectedness of all things, the cosmic order, and the spiritual journey of oneself. If you are after a deeper meaning, mandala tattoos might be right for you!
MODERN MANDALAS
Variations of Asian mandalas are also quite popular, moving away from traditional shapes and adding a Western touch while keeping the same concept of geometry!
ORNAMENTAL DESIGNS
Ornamental tattoos fall under the mandala family, featuring intricate patterns that decorate the body in a very unique way. They are usually smaller than mandalas and often more delicate.
