Body vows: Gary from the UK's dharma tattoos
Here our latest Buddhism-inspired tattoos, sent as always by a reader:
Hi, I'm Gary from the UK and I noticed the features you have as regarding tattoos relating to Buddhism.
I have two so far, one on either bicep. On my left arm I have what is basically a half sleeve Koi, representing the courage to battle adversity and to attain one's goals against the flow of the tide, so to speak.
On my right arm I have an image of Samantabhadra, the Bodhisattva of Practice and compassion.
Both provide a certain inspiration and reminder of fundamental values that many of us implement each day.
Koi done by Jerry at Positive Vibrations, Albufeira, Portugal (six hour sitting)
Samantabhadra done by Sjef (www.chefdetattoo.nl), Albufeira, Portugal (8 hour sitting).
