Water Color Ganesha with Third Eye in Dot Work Tattoo Inked By Black Poison Tattoos

Ganesh is one of the most renowned Hindu Gods who is worshiped not only in India, but across Asia and in many other parts of the world. With his elephant head, Ganesh is highly recognizable and is generally the figure who is used to represent the Hindu religion in the media. Ganesh is so popular that he even has spiritual significance for many people who aren’t Hindu. His image has become a popular tattoo design as a symbol of spirituality, religion and godliness.

A new tattoo style has become increasingly popular these days, being heavily promoted online: watercolor tattoos, a combination between watercolor painting and tattooing. Basically, a watercolor tattoo is just a simulation of watercolor artwork and the style is the only thing different from a “classic” tattoo. The tattoo process remains the same, same techniques and tools are used but the focus is on simulating the watercolor effect. The watercolor style is created using splatters, blurs, shades. There are no defined shapes and no outlines, watercolor tattoos allowing the artist to take on a different approach to the “traditional” tattoo.

A real concern about watercolor tattoos is whether the ink of the tattoo will last, considering that there is no real pattern to the ink, no defined lines.  The answers coming from the tattoo artists say that it depends on line work, color saturation, design balance, proper anatomy. And is true that a traditional tattoo will outlast a watercolor one, but eventually even the traditional tattoo will need a touch up as well. No matter what tattoo you want, you’ll probably have to get it “touched up”. With watercolor tattoos, however, you’ll probably just want to get them touched up sooner.

Your third eye is associated with enlightenment, intuition, inner wisdom, clairvoyance, and - for all you yoginis - the sixth chakra. Hinduism, Buddhism, and Indian traditions feature the third eye as a dot in the middle of the brow. But that doesn't mean you need to sport a forehead tattoo to channel the meaning of this symbol. Get creative and design your own tattoo of an eye to represent your inner brilliance.
