A lotus may be the perfect element out there to get with a buddha tattoo. Why? Because of its meaning, it stands for rising above temptation and becoming a better person.

Finally, the leaf tattoo on the forehead represents the eternal circle of life that states that life exists after death.

You can even use the Buddha tattoo as a complete sleeve tattoo. The halo behind the head of the Buddha is the symbol of enlightenment, and various other elements are added to the whole tattoo.
If you want a sleeve like this one, then first have the Buddha made, and then you can add various elements that relate to the culture.

6. Colorful Buddha Tattoo With Flower
If you are looking for an indifferent tattoo, then you can also take such creative liberty and make cracks on the face of the Buddha. Such a tattoo can denote that it is something existing for a long time.
For example, a single eye on the palm of the figure is the symbol of God’s eye watching over humankind and all of us.
Earlier, we saw only lotus flowers used with the Buddha’s face, but you can also add another kind of flowers to the Buddha tattoo.

One more impressive tattoo of the Buddha in the blue color so you can even take an idea from the one that is done here. The Om sign is also used in this tattoo which comes from the Hindu religion and is the denotation of Lord Shiva.

One more brilliant idea to make your tattoo unique. You can make the Buddha in simple black and white contrast and then add strands of color around it.
