Cambodian soldiers believed that tattoos made by some monks could protect them from bullets and landmines, and even make them invisible.

“Buddha” - Some adults believe that getting a tattoo of buddha on you is disrespectful, but who am I to say i’m perfect? I’m clearly not. Tattooing is about personalizing the body, making it a true homeand fit temple for the spirit that dwells inside it… Tattooing therefore, is a way ofkeeping the spiritual and material needs of my body in balance. I smoke… I drink… does it mean im polluting my body for that soul or spirt that dwells inside me? probably am. Buddha saw the truth behind human existence and was shocked at how little control people had over their fates, so here I am changing my life for the better. The eight petals of the lotus represent the eightfold path of Buddhist law called dharma. Coloured lotuses represent various aspects of human attainment white signifying mental purity, red for compassion and the heart, blue for intelligence and wisdom, and purple for mystic insights. The pink lotus is reserved as the symbol of the historical Buddha. Most of us may know that the pink lotus as the “Throne of Buddha.” YOU CHANGE YOUR LIFE, YOU MAKE THE CHOICES, ONLY YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR OWN PATH AND NOT OTHER, they can only simply give advices, never tell or force you.
