Just because an image is on a bumper sticker doesn’t mean that’s the only thing it’s on.
I;m sure cherry blossoms are on someone’s bumper =)

The wheel dotting the i is meant to represent the Eightfold Path which encompasses the entire Buddhist teaching..Sometimes prefixed with right or correct they are…View, Intention, Speech, Action, Livelihood, Effort, Mindfulness and Concentration. Each spoke on the wheel represents a quailty or level of integrity to cultivate to unbind from the wheel of Samsara ie the conditioned world we live in. Buddhism is quite pragmatic and full of lists! A wheel was a common way in ancient Nepal and India to incorporate all the teachings someone would give into a tight cohesive unit for the sake of easy memory/recall. Hence the wheel isn’t a Buddhist symbol necessarily just something Buddhist’s adopted and due to popularity became viewed as “there’s” which is a bit of a conuumdrum for religious folks of all shades.
I like blackwork tattoo’s but would have loved to seen this in full color/newschool and possibly as a chestpiece. Love

The Yin Yang is actually a Taoist symbol (the concepts of Yin and Yang are pretty essential to Taoism). I’ve seen several different representations of the Yin Yang, but not this one. If it’s supposed to be a different Taoist symbol I’d love it if someone could enlighten me as to which one (or which variation of the Yin Yang, if I’m correct). My curiosity is now piqued.
I do like the tattoo, though.
