It is why a tattoo symbolizing this remarkable deity is so sought after even by those who may not follow Hinduism. A true ink artisan can bring Shiva to life on your body. He can be seen in portrait form with his traditional third eye opened and his famed weapon, the Trisula, ready to bring down havoc and destruction on the evils in your life. Nothing will be able to hold you back. Not looking for something large? Small works just as well. Many opt for the more abstract approach to paying respect and embodying the spirit of Shiva.

Combine some or all of them to tell the story of the divine, formidable being.
