Like all tattoos, it means whatever it means to the individual.

The person could like the pattern, they could make it as a reminder to keep trying to better themselves, etc, etc.

BUDDHA!! that is what it means, go wiki "buddha"

AnswerA buddha tattoo is similar to the meaning of a tattoo of christ. Buddha was a man who attained enlightenment but never claimed to be a god. A tattoo of him pays respect to him. Just as a statue in your home would. I would however, opt for the statue if you want the tattoo based on its meaning. Often attitudes and feelings change. Any religious tattoo can sour when you no longer feel the way you did when you got it. AnswerTo me, a Buddha tattoo (or indeed any religious icon or diety) has a highly profound and symbolic meaning. Unlike a statue or painting it is truly a part of you. When material possessions are cast aside, your true belief and affinity stays as a part of you- the core of any belief is that you can rely on it to be with you (for spiritual comfort), so I think it's a really nice idea to have an image that you can take everywhere with you.

Many Many years ago when countries like Thailand and Myanmar where at war, each side would burn gold coated Buddha statues and take the gold. The statues are often made in parts, one of which being the head. So, when the spanish and other europeans travelled to these countries and wanted a "cool" souvenir, local theives sold them Buddha heads taken from old Wats or temples.

Now people put them in their gardens because it is trendy.
