Mandala Tattoos

A Mandala is constructed by symmetrical lines that form a whole. You can choose to leave it at just the lines or you can choose to give the mandala more substance through shadows, dot work or a combination of both. A mandala is excellent as a stand-alone tattoo but is also very suitable as a filler and/or background. A mandala is also very suitable as part of a larger tattoo. Common combinations with mandalas are for example plants, flowers, animals or abstract images next to (or incorporated in) the mandala. For a mandala tattoo there is a fair amount of technique involved, you have fine line work, geometry, dotwork and different levels of shading. The word Mandala means “circle” in Sanskrit. A mandala tattoo, like a circle, represents eternity, perfection and balance. All the visual elements that balance the design of mandala tattoo translates to harmony and unity.
