Hey! I just got this done on Saturday. The mantra is Om Vajrasattva Hum which means to purify. Thus for me, the tattoo symbolizes balance and purification. My girlfriend and I found the mantra in a sanskrit version and put the design together with photoshop and then I told the artist that I wanted the yin yang to look like an ancient tablet and he also did a cool shade effect with the mantra. Tell me what you think Ben.
yeah i think yin yang is way over done with hippies. but i love the red writing too, looks very uniqye and fresh!
Damn ~ That looks brand spank-in new! I really like it a lot - Best of luck with keeping the balance and staying pure!
No, it wasn't really painful. There were a couple of spots where I felt some pain, and the rest just stung a little. For me, the leg was a really good place for a tattoo as far as location and pain goes. Ben.
