Why not ink your vows on your body, if you have a life-long belief on it? It makes you feel the essence of this power, every moment you look at it. The tattoo gets deep-rooted on your skin; just the same way the vows are deep-rooted in your heart and mind.
Jeremy D’s trust and respect for Buddhism is very well inked on her body. A “lotus” tattoo that inspires to get out of that muddy life, and try your best to be pure and strong. It symbolizes that the world is full of dirt, but man should grow out of that and blossom like a beautiful flower. The ‘wheel’ tattoo has eight bars representing the ‘eight-fold path of Buddhism’.
It is indeed the creative thought of a devoted soul.

Buddha (literally ”awakened one”) is actually a title given to the founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama. Of all the figures in Buddhism, the Buddha himself might be the most popular in tattoo imagery. Symbolic of all that his life and enlightenment represented, he is frequently portrayed in tattoo much as he is in Buddhist art—with a serene and beautiful face, in cross-legged meditative position, and with hands in a meaningful gesture (mudra). In this example, the hands form a mudra that symbolizes turning the DHARMA WHEEL. The Buddha represents an escape from the grasp of worldly concerns, compassion for all others, and wisdom. He was moved by the suffering of others and devoted his life to teaching ways in which that suffering could be confronted and overcome. Tattoo Symbol Meaning www.tattoobody.org
