Sacred Tibetan skin art​

Tibetan Sacred Tattoo

Lama Tashi Norbu’s sacred Tibetan skin art will be your personal Buddhist protective Buddha, Buddhas and female bodhisatvas or Tibetan sacred symbols created, or derived from Tibetan scriptures of the sacred Tibetan Buddhist philosophy. Based on your astrology chart (given date of birth), the astrology/horoscope will be read out and a unique symbol will come out and this will be created specially for you only by the Artist Lama Tashi Norbu. 

During the process of making the skin art, specific Tibetan prayers are performed by Lama Tashi to strengthen the image and create a karmic bond. This process is performed so that the personal Buddha will take care of your soul in many lifetimes.

Tibetan sacred skin art can also display images on skin of chosen Tibetan motifs, meaningful symbols, patterns and Buddhist legendary images to accompany you in life and connect you to a facsinating spiritual world! 

It is an unusual, sacred way, I will create your skin art with rituals. And the skin art will itself be a ritual: a symbolic behaviour with meaningful “mantras “that will be performed at the beginning and end of the skin art session, to get us in the right mindset and focus on this moment; suggesting a meditation session to remove any negative atmosphere, ensure safe passage and balance in everything.

This is what we do in Tibet when we are dealing with fear and thus increase confidence. People feel fear before a tattoo and our rituals are said to signify protection and care.

Welcome to this unique experience of sacred skin art that suggests life force energy in life with the design selected by Lama Tashi that represents your personal heath, thoughts and beliefs on the skin.

The sacred Tibetan skin art of personal extraordinary Tibetan Buddhist deities mantras. The purpose of such skin art is to protect yourself from impurities like ignorance, desires and hatred as we call the three emerging poisons within ourselves and also to protect you from diseases, enemies and physical obstacles.

To create this skin art, you need to provide some personal details to discuss with LamaTashi. Then, a procedure will inform you about your deity and specific mantra associated with you. The design appropriate for you will be created in our Tibetan museum where many inspiring Tibetan artworks are displayed.

Question: Are you interested in the  Buddhist philosophy?

Answer by the Artist: «I shall be happy to read your Tibetan Astrological chart to find your Personal extra ordinary Buddhist deity   And make a tattoo with your deity for protection and support in life».

Traditionally these are read through our scriptures in the morning before noon, so the Artist  has followed them, makes your chart and empowers your tattoo.

Traditionally it is a belief  that  the Personal Buddhist deity  is linked to you for eons, to protect you to bring you to the path of enlightenment.   But knowing personal deity and reciting the mantras are simplest and beneficial practice one can do in daily life . This will bring ourselves closer to purification of our body, speech and mind for bringing prosperous and healthy life and happiness. For Buddhist we could say Benightment.

Functions of a Deity

In Buddhist philosophy, the deities perform different types of functions for the practitioner.  They may be a focus or aid to individual meditation and transformation, in which case they are called yidams, or they may function as a protector of the dharma and/or of an entire class of being.  It is important to understand that the precise meaning varies according to the view of a particular school and/or lineage.  In all cases, deities are understood as means for liberation and the enlightenment of all.
