Buddha Tattoo Designs

The Buddha that is depicted in designs is generally Gautama Buddha, the spiritual leader and creator of the Buddhist faith. Gautama Buddha was born a wealthy prince in India thousands of years ago. He saw that the trappings of wealth were of no consequence to human existence and he left his life as a prince to gain enlightenment. After he gained enlightenment under the Bhodi tree he spread the word of Buddhism and the lineage of these teachings are still passed down today. Buddha designs can show your spiritual connection to the teachings of the Buddha or can simply be a statement of your peaceful disposition.
