The Reality Check.

Buddha imagery requires respect.
It represents a spiritual teacher, not a decoration.
Visual Technique:
The key is the expression.
The eyes are usually half-closed in meditation. The mouth has a slight smile.
Our printing captures this subtle emotion.
Symbolism:
The Buddha represents awakening.
He represents the Middle Way (balance).
He represents calm in the storm.

The History: Siddhartha to The World

Who was the Buddha?
Siddhartha Gautama was a prince who left his palace to understand suffering.
He meditated under the Bodhi tree until he found the answer.

The Iconography
The topknot (ushnisha) represents wisdom.
The long earlobes represent his ability to hear the suffering of the world.
Wearing a Buddha temporary tattoo connects you to these virtues.
It is a reminder to be compassionate.

The Fat Buddha (Budai)
Often confused with Siddhartha.
Budai is a Chinese monk known as the “Laughing Buddha.”
He represents happiness, abundance, and good luck.
We stock both the serene Siddhartha and the joyous Budai.

Zen Art
Minimalist brushstrokes.
Enso circles.
This style strips away the details to focus on the essence.
It is popular in modern design.

Styles: Statue, Minimalist, and Thai

Buddha fits every spiritual path.

The Stone Statue
Realistic shading. Cracks in the stone. Moss texture.
It looks like an ancient statue from a temple in Thailand or Cambodia.
It represents timelessness.
Great for the bicep or chest.

The Minimalist Outline
Just the silhouette of the head and shoulders.
Simple black line.
This is respectful and understated.
Perfect for the inner wrist.

The Thai Sak Yant
Geometric patterns and script.
Traditionally tattooed by monks with bamboo.
Our designs mimic this sacred geometry.
It is a protection talisman.

Sticker vs. Semi-Permanent (Buddha Edition)

Option 1: Standard Ink (The Gold Choice)
Pros: Can print Gold Foil.
Buddha statues are often covered in gold leaf.
Standard Ink allows us to replicate that metallic shine.
It looks sacred and expensive.
Cons: Sits on top.
Best for: Gold metallic tattoos and colorful lotus designs.

Option 2: Semi-Permanent (The Stone Choice)
Pros: Sinks into the skin.
It creates a matte, dark navy-black stain.
It looks exactly like aged stone or ink wash painting.
It lasts 2 weeks.
Cons: No gold. Monochrome only.
Best for: Realistic statues and Sak Yant scripts.

Placement: Respect the Image

In Buddhist culture, the head is sacred and the feet are dirty.
Placement matters.

The Upper Arm (Respect)
The bicep or shoulder.
High on the body.
This is a respectful placement.
It acts as a guide.

The Back (The Tree)
Buddha sitting under the Bodhi tree on the back.
It uses the large canvas.
It represents grounding.

The “No-Go” Zones
Do not place a Buddha tattoo on your feet or ankles.
Do not sit on it (buttocks).
It is considered highly disrespectful in Thailand and Sri Lanka.
Keep it above the waist.

Application: The Face

The face of Buddha is peaceful.
If you apply it to a wrinkly area, he looks stressed.

The Protocol:

1. Relax: Don’t flex.
   • If you apply the face to a flexed muscle, the smile will distort when you relax.
2. Flat Plane: Choose the flat part of the forearm or the shoulder blade.
3. Powder: A shiny Buddha looks like plastic.
   • Dust with baby powder to give it the matte texture of sandstone.
