Yantra tattooing

Yantra tattooing is when a special design called a "yantra" is tattooed onto someone's skin. A yantra is a kind of symbol that is believed to have special powers in certain cultures. It is made up of different shapes and lines that all have different meanings.

When someone gets a yantra tattoo, they believe it will give them special energy or protection. They might choose a yantra that represents something they want in their life, like good luck or courage.

The person who does the yantra tattooing is usually a special kind of artist who has learned how to create the designs and tattoo them safely. They might use special tools that are different from regular tattoo equipment.

The process of getting a yantra tattoo can take a long time, sometimes several hours. The artist will carefully draw the design onto the person's skin, making sure it is placed perfectly. They will then tattoo the lines and shapes into the skin using a special ink.

After the tattoo is done, the person might feel a little bit sore or uncomfortable for a while. But they believe that the yantra will bring them good things in their life, so they are willing to go through the tattooing process.
