Meditation tattoos are a great way to express your love for the practice of mindfulness. They are simple designs that are both visually appealing and meaningful.
Meditation is an inner work practice that involves a person sitting or lying peacefully and calmly attempting to clear their mind of distracting thoughts. Meditators will often chant a mantra, focus on specific breathing techniques or use other forms of meditation to help them reach a state of calm and clarity.
A lot of people enjoy the peace and serenity that comes from meditating, so it’s no surprise that many yogis are getting a meditation tattoo. A meditation tattoo can be an uplifting reminder of the strength and innate good that you carry with you everywhere you go.
The Om symbol is a common element of yoga classes, as it helps yogis to relax and stay grounded. The curves of the Om symbolize waking states, dreams, and deep sleep, three phases we go through during our day.
An ankle or above the ankle is a perfect placement for this type of tattoo, since it doesn’t draw attention and shows off your dedication to yoga. It also shows off your pride as a yogi, and you can choose to add a symbol of your favorite pose to it for extra meaning.
Adding a geometric background to the Lotus and Unalome symbols in this yoga tattoo makes them stand out. The curves and straight lines compliment each other, and create a feminine and elegant piece of ink.
