Hindu Tattoos
Hinduism is the world’s third largest religion. Replete with numerous beautiful gods, the Hindus unlike Islam or Christianity do not have a single source to their religion. Instead, Hinduism claims many founders and influences. The Hindus believe in one God, Brahman, but there are many other gods who represent different facets of Brahman. These other gods are poignant and powerful images. Brahma is the creator god, Vishnu preserves the universe, Shiva is the dancing god (when he lands on one foot, good things happen, when he lands on the other, bad.) and Kali the destroyer, is the mother god. Tattoos of Shiva seem to be the most common but the lushness of the colors in these images and the complexity of there meaning make them perfect material for tattooing.
