Inside: Top Indian tattoo ideas you need to see.
India is such a beautiful place that is full of amazing culture and religious wisdom. Today I wanted to find some of the coolest Indian Tattoo ideas for you to look through so you can see all of the beautiful pieces of body art that come from this place.
There are so many different ideas below, all of which feature some kind of art that comes from India. Whether it be depictions of the god Ganesh or simple henna designs, there are so many things for you to see. Each is rich with beauty and detail. I know you are going to enjoy these ideas.
But before we get into that, I thought I would go over some of the important questions that you may have when thinking about getting a tattoo. So let’s just get right into it!
How Much Will an Indian Tattoo Cost?
The answer to this question will vary based on what tattoo you get. If it is something small that takes less than an hour, you can count on it being under $100, depending on what shop you are at. But if it is something that is larger, you should probably save up before going to get it. These tattoos can go over $1000.
Rightfully so, seeing as it takes a lot of time and experience to produce such beautiful pieces of art. One thing you should always remember to do is bring extra money as a tip for your tattoo artist.
Most of the time, these artists are renting a space in the tattoo shop, so anything extra really helps them out and shows them that you appreciate their hard work and cool tattoos.
Will It Hurt?
Most first-time tattoo people will ask me this question, and the look of fear in their eyes when I answer yes is something I try hard not to chuckle about. Tattoos hurt; that is part of the experience. But if you have a low pain threshold, I have a few tips that you can try that will help you to lessen the amount of pain you feel.
- First, choose a spot on your body that has fewer nerve endings. I know what you may be thinking, “how the heck am I supposed to know where in my body has more or less nerve endings?” Well, places in your body that have the bones closer to the surface tend to have more nerve endings. Those nerve endings, in turn, will make you feel more pain during your tattoo. They’re touchy areas, so avoid them!
- Get some numbing cream. This stuff seriously saves the day! I use this every time I am going in for a long tattoo. You simply spread it or spray it on the area where you are going to get tattooed, and it numbs it, so when the time comes, you don’t feel as much pain!
Now that we have covered that let’s look at the reason why we are here: Indian tattoo ideas!
Indian Tattoo Ideas
I thought that this first list would be a great opportunity for you to see how many styles and options you have for your Indian tattoo. You can pick a top, a style, and whether or not you want it colored. See the ideas below to get a good idea of what you like and what you don’t. I describe these to help you better understand.
1. Beautiful Font idea – This font is associated with Indian culture. I think it is beautiful, and this symbol holds a great deal of meaning. Take a look to see what I mean.
2. Elephant Goddess Idea – You will be seeing the elephant god Ganesh quite a bit throughout this article. They are a big symbol in this culture and are super beautiful to be depicted.
3. Ganesh Tattoo Sleeve Idea – If you want a huge Ganesh tattoo, why not get a sleeve? This sleeve is super cool. For tattoos like this, I would recommend going around and finding a tattoo artist who specializes in art like this.
