“Sena drew the whole sleeve onto my arm before a single needle came out. Six sittings later it still looks like it grew there.”

About Us
Wame Ink
Custom tattoo studio · Since 2021
This Tattoo Studio is a representation of our powerful and beautiful culture.
This bodysuit is of Goddess Arya Tara, who seems calm and beautiful but fierce with knowledge and power. She is viewed as the female counterpart to Avalokiteshvara, symbolizing compassion and the easing of suffering.
“Arya” means noble, and “Tara” means star or savior — the one who helps beings cross the ocean of suffering (samsara).
The White Tara (Sanskrit: Sitatara; Tibetan: Sgrol-dkar) was incarnated as the Chinese princess. She symbolizes purity and is often represented standing at the right hand of her consort, Avalokiteshvara, or seated with legs crossed, holding a full-blown lotus.

“Marlow worked from one soft photograph of my grandmother. The first time I saw it healed in daylight I had to sit down.”
