See, the OM tattoo was the only kind that my parents would let me get when I got mine at 18. But, oms and swastikas at the same time are small and cute. I don't think anyone is willing to get the Taj Mahal or the Indian flag tattoed on them.
Getting your name tattoed in Hindi is also becoming cliche around here.
Well i am talking about a lil cultural symbols. Om and Swastika aren't the only ones!
You are rajput right, so you should have flipped through various rajput dynasties and their coins. A lot of coins have very decorative symbols that represented various military dynasties.
I am thinking of having a tattoo, and it will be a shunk / seashell which was one of the symbols of Satvahan Empire aka the first Andhra Empire. I am still looking for other appealing symbols of various Andhra Empires!
