Tattoos

My first tattoo is the Buddha Tara.
Tara mantra-om tare tuttare ture svaha. The goddess of universal compassion, Tara represents virtuous and enlightened action. It is said that her compassion for living beings is stronger than a mother's love for her children. She also brings about longevity, protects earthly travel, and guards her followers on their spiritual journey to enlightenment. White Tara-is sometimes called the Mother of all Buddhas and she represents the motherly aspect of compassion. She signifies purity, wisdom and truth. I got this tattoo just when I got my salary from my first job...I've always wanted to get inked but my parents told me that they'll allow me once I start earning on my own. This took 3 hours...gotta love the pain!


"The mantra Om Mani Päme Hum is easy to say yet quite powerful, because it contains the essence of the entire teaching. When you say the first syllable Om it is blessed to help you achieve perfection in the practice of generosity, Ma helps perfect the practice of pure ethics, and Ni helps achieve perfection in the practice of tolerance and patience. Pä, the fourth syllable, helps to achieve perfection of perseverance, Me helps achieve perfection in the practice of concentration, and the final sixth syllable Hum helps achieve perfection in the practice of wisdom. This is my second tattoo, I got it when I was so depress and also for my birthday...and most of my friends wants to have this tat...I only let one have the design.


It's an uchen symbol (tibetan) read as "Hum". I took it from the mantra "Om ah Hum" A mantra that brings the primal, universal, infinite vibration into one's heart and being, into one's awareness.
"Hum" brings expansiveness, infinity, essence and oneness into the human being. It is the heart chakra. This is my third tattoo...I was depress and I miss the pain and excitement of getting a tattoo. It was February when i got this tattoo. I was just sitting in a coffee shop then I called a friend to come with me and get inked.
