The image of Buddha — or one of the many representations of him — is usually meant to express either a faith or interest in Buddhism. To many people the Buddha is an emblem for enlightenment, and a symbol of strength of will and character, and an inner peace that we all strive for. For these reasons alone, Buddha tattoos have gained a lot of popularity.
Many people prefer Buddha tattoos that feature a cartoonish appearance. These are generally highly colorful, and show the Buddha lively, dancing and laughing. This style is normally done in realistic – if rather bright – colors; however, some people show Buddha in soft hues of purple or blue, sometimes even in a sparkling golden shade.
It is fairly common to also see this style depicting a statue-like Buddha appearing to come alive; in this instance, he is usually done in gold or granite shades, he may have bright green stones for eyes and may be surrounded by the elements, such as rain, fire or even the ocean.
