Buddha Tattoos, Designs- a more pensive depiction.

Many Buddha tattoos feature a more pensive depiction. This version — unlike the jubilant cartoon equivalent — tends to bear a more thoughtful expression, and may appear to be in deep meditation.

The eyes are generally closed, legs crossed, and he may be surrounded in soft shades reminiscent of light. This version also tends to be more colorful, but may feature hues of gray; or may even be done entirely in outline.
