Are you an avid lover of mandalas? The following lacy mandala tattoo ideas will surely leave you stunned and hopefully inspire you to get one of your own.
Mandala art is not a new art form.
It owes its origin to India as early as the 10th century. It is dedicated to the various deities of Buddhism.
In Asian cultures, the mandala has always been a visual treat as well as epitomizing the layers of man’s spiritual journey. It is also the representation of the ideal shape of the universe.
In Hindu culture, mandalas symbolize the cycle of appearance, recurrence and existence. Mandalas, with their circular shape, have also aided in healing from trauma, stress, and anxiety disorders. A mandala with a spike at its end is purely a visual treat aside from its spiritual significance. They also act as a foil for the negative space in life.
Your search for a lace mandala ends here. Check out the images below and choose the one that best suits your desires!

Feminine feather tip mandala tattoo

Apart from black and a small touch of red, no other color was used to create the magic. The arm seems to be the best place to get this feminine tattoo inked.

In fact, simplicity is the essence of sophistication, and a relatively simple work of art can make a lasting impression that a great work of art sometimes cannot.
