After many decades in the shadows, it is now okay for ordinary people to
sport tattoos again. For a long time only punks and gangsters had tattoos, but
in the last few years Hollywood stars have been popularizing these beautiful
body art. Many of these modern tattoos are small and elegant - Sanskrit tattoo
designs, Celtic cross tattoos, rose and flower tattoos, etc.
Whether or not you are spiritual and religious, whether or not you love
art and history, Sanskrit tattoo designs are always an interesting topic for
discussion. Sanskrit is an ancient language, originally used for the Hindu
religion. It has been conclusively dated back to at least 1500 BC. Due to its
religious origins, there are many famous and historically important religious
texts and divine mythologies in Sanskrit. Among these is one of the oldest
surviving and complete religious works, the Rig Veda. The Ramayana, the
Mahabharata and the Bhagavad-gita are famous epic poems which record the great
deeds of the Hindu Gods and ancient heroes. Besides the Hindu religion, the
Buddhist religion also uses Sanskrit (a version called Pali).
