Indian tattoos are immersed
deep in culture and religion. Affluent with myths and beliefs in things to
come, these traditional tattoos are said to represent a woman’s appreciation
for glorifying an almighty being.
Traditional Indian tattoos
are an enormous step away from the ordinary. Rich in superstition and
symbolism, these “temporary tattoos” are most commonly a representation
of transcendence for those bearing them and thus should never be taken
lightly. The typical Indian tattoo is done using the art of Mehndi, a
temporary ink made from the Henna plant which dyes the skin temporarily
rather than permanently. However in recent decades many have adapted
their intricate designs permanently, especially as enthusiasts from
around the world seek inspiration from the art form. Despite mainstream
acceptance and promotion, Indian tattoos are typically meant to display a
deep respect for worship and the work put into all aspects of everyday
life (rather than a means of of beauty and vanity). Unfortunately enough
this is often overlooked as the “trend” continues to spread worldwide.
