The meaning of a tattoo
The meaning of each tattoo has its own meaning. In general, in translation from the Polynesian languages "tattoo" means a drawing. Maori males tattooed all over their face and females tattooed the lips and decorated their chins.
A mantra prayer tattoo is not just a drawing, but a symbolic meaning, an embodiment of a mantra that carries a particularly deep subtext. The meaning of mantra tattoos does not have to be understood by others.
The word "mantra" means mind protection, consists of a series of symbols that evoke a spiritual written, spoken, or chanted response.
Choice of style, size and place
Of course, you can also look to larger works. Mantras can cover the entire surface of the shoulder or forearm. It can be a single line, a few lines or even a spiral - everything depends on your preferences. The font is also chosen according to one's own taste. The mantra can be an independent tattoo as well as a part of it. If you are not embarrassed by the high cost, it can be just a detail in a large-scale drawing that takes up most of the back, with an image of Buddha or a blossoming lotus flower. The latter option looks great in a watercolor style. Soft strokes, absence of clear outlines, calm pastel pink tones - all these will emphasize both tenderness of the flower and meaning of the mantra itself, as well as the aspiration of its owner to reach enlightenment and soul balance.

Om Mani Padme Hum Tattoo
"Om Mani Padme Hum" is the most common of all Buddhist mantras and is used to invoke the blessing of Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara, where the Dalai Lama is reincarnated), the Buddhist deity who represents ultimate compassion. This prayer is repeated as part of the meditation.
Om Mani Padme Hum.
There is no exact direct translation of this mantra; it is believed to contain all of the Buddha's teachings. Each syllable has a special meaning, symbol and color within the Tibetan script:
"Om Mani Padme Hum.
- Om: generosity (overcomes feelings of pride/bliss).
- Ma: ethics (purifies jealousy/lust for amusement).
- Ni: patience (purifies passion/desire).
- Pad: diligence (purifies ignorance / prejudice).
- Me: renunciation (purifies poverty / possessiveness).
- Hum: wisdom (cleanses aggression/hate).
Om Mani PadmeHum tattoos are more than just words or symbols, they are part of a larger tattoo including the lotus flower or broken down into individual elements.
When each syllable is present, the tattoo is used to focus the wearer on the specific aspect or attribute that the symbol will represent.
Where did the word mantra come from and what does it mean?
It owes its origin to the Hindus. According to them, the entire universe vibrates at every moment. Man can only benefit from it by knowing its language. It is in the mantras that these mysterious sounds are made.
They are understood as a set of specific symbols with which one can get what one wants or achieve enlightenment. It is believed that mantras are often performed by followers of Buddhism. When compared visually, many of them appear to be the same.
But if you look closely, they are distinguished by minute details, such as a dot or a curved line. If you make even one mistake in spelling or pronunciation, the meaning will change radically. This is very important, because a person's future fate completely depends on it.
With the utmost care go to the choice of the sketch and, above all, the master. Do not forget to clarify beforehand the exact writing and meaning of the future tattoo.

Ancient mantras: meaning, recitation, image on the body
Using a mantra is akin to performing a magical ritual. After all, if you use this tool correctly, you can achieve amazing results and increase the level of your spiritual development. It is not enough, however, to recite mantras in Sanskrit. It is a real art that Hindus learn from childhood and, over the course of their lives, grasp their true meaning. For a European person it is more difficult to learn all the subtleties of this process, but it is possible if he or she wants to. And this is proved by many people who were born in the West, but became Great Teachers of Eastern culture.

Good phrases in Sanskrit
The interest in learning eastern languages in our countrymen has increased immensely :_)) But exclusively from a tattooing angle, unfortunately. On the forum the post about the Sanskrit inscription for tattoos is swelling with comments.
People ask to translate the sometimes utter nonsense. Sonny, who knows Sanskrit, is probably tired of answering, and answers less and less often. I do not know Sanskrit, only a few phrases and words and can read, there are no other people who know Sanskrit on Indonet. If there is so much interest in exotic Devanagari, I thought I should probably write some good expressions. maybe someone will like them. Below is my translation from https://freetranslati. You can dig there yourself, in case you find something.
