Om Tattoo Designs: 10 Stunning Spiritual Ink Ideas

Tattoos come in a wide variety of themes to encompass the diverse range of human emotions. Specific categories of tattoos have emerged which symbolize specific but interrelated sets of emotions. Om is a universal Hindu symbol and is the first syllable in any prayer. In Hindu mythology, Om symbolizes the universe and ultimate reality and is the source of all creation and life. It represents the 3 aspects of God: Brahma, Vishnu and Lord Shiva. Om leads us from unreality to reality, from darkness to the light and from fear of death to the knowledge of reality. The sound of Om is a slow, calming chant that is used for chanting spiritual texts and is used for meditation purpose for the peace of mind it provides.

Getting an Om tattoo conveys the understanding of our primitive and ancient universal principles. Permanent inking of this symbol signifies our affinity to the unifying force and is an appropriate conveyance of our sacred and timeless awareness. In this post, I will be listing some of the best tattoo designs featuring OM in single and coloured patterns.

10. This tattoo design looks very similar to our traditional mehendi designs which we apply on our hands and feet.  This design covers the entire part of the feet where an Om is placed at the heart of this tattoo design, inside a full-blooming lotus which is further surrounded by Indian traditional motifs. Wish it was inked on some other body part and not the feet which would have further enhanced its beauty.
