Unalome tattoo
You probably have no idea what unalome is, but you will recognize it immediately.
The simple design has existed for centuries within Hinduism and Buddhism. Within these cultures, the unalome symbolizes enlightenment.
At the bottom there is the spiral (the lack of direction in life), in the middle you see lines in knots (the milestones we have to overcome to reach enlightenment) and sometimes above it the lotus, which symbolizes nirvana.
If you haven't reached nirvana yet, you can also get the tattoo without the lotus.
