About Mandala
The Mandala tattoo is a defining voice in the sacred family — a style with a look all its own, instantly recognisable the moment the needle hits skin. It is most often worn on the arm, where its lines and shading have the room to breathe and the design reads cleanly from across a room. Considered expert to execute, a great Mandala piece rewards the patience of an artist who lives and breathes the craft. With a 4.7/5 rating and 25,540 saves in the Ink Gallery, it remains one of the most requested looks in the studio.
