My first tattoo. Got it this past Saturday, October 13, at Always Heavenly Bound tattoo shop in Helen, GA.

Looks nice! I'm glad you opted to put the longer earlobes in - that particular cultural thing has always really interested me.

Excellent! Looks great, Kourtney!

Good you got it done in America: it has been prohibited by the Thai government in Thailand (on Farang skin, that is, because they don't show proper respect to Buddhist symbols...)

Thanks everyone. I'm very happy with it. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done peeling and scabbing. I want to get text added eventually - "Inquire Within" - to the neckline. I know it's not a specific Buddhist phrase, but it's short and fits the space.

Sounds like a good addition!

Dear Dhammakid,

I really like your Buddha Tattoo....I wish I could find 'tiny Buddha tattoos(stick it/remove)...so I can stick a tiny beautiful Buddha tattoo on my forehead on every Uposatha Day....I wish my wish come true!

Thanks again, everyone. It's looking great since it finally stopped peeling and scabbing. I can't wait to add the text. I've also been thinking about adding some soft fire effects, a lotus flower and maybe a dhamma wheel somewhere around it. We'll see what the artist can come up with next time I visit him.

Anjali,
Dhammakid
