I would like to get a lotus flower tattoo with the om symbol in the center. I am not a Buddhist, but I love what the symbols represent. They are very meaningful and I think it reflects a part of my own personal beliefs. Would it be wrong of me to get the tattoo because I am not a Buddhist?
Is it wrong to get a religiously symbolic tattoo if you are not parto of that religion?
My dear, tatts are forever. If you decided you don't like it later, the cost and scarring involved are a high price to pay for a decision made today.
Do you have a religion? Isn't there something within your religion that has meaning? Just curious...
Peace be with you.
Reply:It's your body, do as you wish. I don't have any tattoos, but I've always wanted a white dove carrying a rose across my back and shoulders. That seems kind of symbolic of the Holy Spirit, yet I am an atheist.
Reply:Symbols belong to different cultures and have different meanings attached. Look at the history of the swastika. Buddhism doesn't have a monopoly on the lotus flower.
If you want to get that tattoo, there's no reason why you shouldn't.
Reply:I don't see anything wrong with that. People that are not chinese get chinese words tattoos all the time. The only thing is that people might ask you what it means if they don't already know but I'm sure you won't mind explaining.
Reply:you should get tattoos that represnt your own intrest or life....you also have to remember that when you grow up that lotus flower will look like a dead wrinkly flower
Reply:To me, any tattoo is wrong.
But that is my opinion, God will be the only judge.
Peace and Blessings!
Reply:No its not wrong -- if the symbols and what they represent are meaningul to you and reflects your personal beliefs, so be it. Get it done.
Many religions are intertwined and while you can be labeled "christian, jew, muslim" you can also take other religions theories or beliefs and incorporate them into your life. no one says you can't -- except those who are scared of other beliefs.
Reply:The Bible frowns on tatooing. Since it disfiguers the body.
Reply:If it is meaningful to you is of utmost importance. Keep in mind however that tastes change over the years. When I was 16 I designed a tattoo that was very meaningful to me at the time. I never got it and now more than 15 years later I would not want the same one. I have changed too much.
Reply:Why does it matter if you are a part of their religion or not. That's like saying you can't get a tattoo of a world war II tank, because you were not in the war.

Reply:No. The wrong religious tattoos are the ones where they have Jesus on one side and a symbolic tattoo of murdering on the other. They claim to be so religious yet they are killing people in the streets. It aggravates me
Reply:My personal belief, is that a tatoo...even more then they way a person dresses and acts..identifies you with that thing.
When you put a mark on your body that is permanent...you have to think about what you are doing.
Reply:No not at all, its just a tattoo and if that's how you wish to express yourself, go for it

I have a few ideas for a tattoo but i'm not sure to combine the ideas into a theme or not?
I really want to get a water themed tattoo..waves, ocean stuff kinda like that. But I want a Japanese art style tattoo as well, but I don't want a Koi fish as traditional Japanese water tattoos have. Also I like Sakura flowers and lotus blossoms. Should I find a way to incorporate that together or just keep them seperate to a water themed one and a japanese art style one?
I have a few ideas for a tattoo but i'm not sure to combine the ideas into a theme or not?
I'd go for a theme. Most artists will like the challenge, and there is enough stuff already out there to get you started. If you can find stuff with elements of what you'd like, the artist can likely take it from there.
I just brought my basic thoughts and a hideous pencil sketch to my artist, and she created my backpiece from that.
Reply:You should be able to look on the internet and find all kinds of designs that incorporate all of the things you mentioned. If you don't find one you like, you should be able to take several samples of things you do like to a good tattoo artist and get them to draw something up for you. I think the waves, koi fish, and flowers sounds like a really cool idea for a tattoo! Good luck.
Reply:There is a really famous Japanese painting of just waves, and it's really beautiful. I'm sorry I don't know the title, but it's for sale in poster stores a lot.
Reply:I have multiple tattoos...I think that you could probably combine some of those ideas into one tattoo because they go together well...go to a few different tattoo parlors and get them to draw you up some sketches...than you'll be able to choose from a few different ones before you make it permanent...most of all HAVE FUN!!

Where should I put a tattoo?
I want to get a tattoo of a lotus flower. Nothing huge, but nothing small. I already have a tattoo on my right shoulder blade. I was thinking of putting it in the middle of my back right below my neck. The thing about where I wanna get tattoo is that I am going to be losing weight. I don't want the tattoo to look stupid after I lose weight. Where should I put it???
Where should I put a tattoo?
A tattoo shouldn't change with weight loss, unless you're planning on losing like, 400+ pounds. Normally the change of a tattoo happens by the stretching of the skin, which is more than likely caused by the gaining of weight, not the losing. I would go ahead and do it, where you want it done - it's your body and you're the one that has to live with it - and not make yourself wait if you don't want to. Losing weight will not affect the shape, lines, color, shading, etc. of a tattoo. Go get it and I hope it turns out great!!!

Reply:loosing weight shouldnt really matter unless its a massive amount. some other good ideas are on the foot or back of neck under your hair.
Reply:Where u want to put it, on ur back, this is (apparently) one of the places that it least hurts. As somebody suggested, make it a gift for loosing weight, do it after you lose it but. So it wont look bad (as ur worried about) i think the flowers sound really pretty!
Goodluck :))
Reply:back of the ankle

Reply:make your tattoo your i lost all the weight gift to yourself and wait till you reach your goal so you don't have to worry about it looking strange after...

I have a Flower Tattoo and I put it on top of my foot. I already had one on my sholder and back so the foot looked cute with sandals and if you want to cover it it is easy. Hope this helps!!
Reply:on your leg or shoulder!!!!
Reply:left or right shoulder blade area//
Reply:if i woz u i would put it on my lower back

Reply:I think you should wait until you have lost the weight to have the tattoo, this way it will give you more of an insentive to loose the weight and then you can have it were you want it without having to worry and regert it. i think the middle of your back below your neck sounds good.
Reply:don't get it until the weight is gone! or you could get it on a place that doesn't stretch or shrink. like a bony part. like your other shoulder blade?
Reply:i think you should get it done on the bottom of you back
even when you have lost weight it shouldnt change! =)
Reply:I would put it around the ankle...it is usually a steady space on the body and you would be able to show it off.
Reply:I think it would look really pretty on the front of your foot...I love it when people have tatoos there
Reply:on your arm
Reply:Do not get it is you are not even sure about the right spot for it....
Reply:My advice: don't get it until you lose the weight
1 - that way it will go where you want it
2 - it will give you extra motivation
honestly, even if you do get it somewhere else, don't let strangers on the internet influence your decision....
good luck
