I wanted a buddha in meditation pose on the back heart center as a reminder of my personal spiritulal journey and dedication to seeking peace and enlightenment. I wanted the buddha to be sitting in a lotus flower. I told the idea to an artist from miami- eddie at Port City Tattoo in Wilmington, NC and he came up with this design- more elegant that anything I had imagined, and a bit bigger. Guess I started pretty big but I love it. Going to get it colored at some point...
