Enlightenment tattoo

You know the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover?” The same rule can be changed into “Don’t judge a person by its ink.” Getting some body art inked is probably one of the best ways for self-expression—be it a drawing in remembrance of your past beliefs, shenanigans or a minimal tattoo filled with deep meanings. No tattoo design is meaningless or ugly because there’s always something bigger behind it. At least to the person who chose the unique tattoo, that is.

The Unalome tattoo is a spiritual symbol of enlightenment and has been embraced by many different cultures, from Buddhism to Hinduism.

The unalome symbol represents the path to enlightenment in the Buddhist culture. The spirals are meant to symbolize the twists and turns in life, and the straight lines the moment one reaches enlightenment or peace and harmony.

Because of Pinterest, unalome tattoos are often considered as feminine hipster tattoos. But that couldn't be more wrong.
