This mandala design is so minute and meticulously inked, and it has an interesting meaning behind it, too. In Buddhism, the lotus -- a beautiful flower that grows directly out of the mud -- traditionally symbolizes enlightenment, spiritual awakening and purity.

This half mandala tattoo takes a less literal approach to the mandala design, while still paying homage to the symbol.

Some of the more involved mandala designs can take up a lot of real estate, but this one has a more low-key, under-the-radar vibe. Adorable, yet meaningful.
