this tatt is on my inner right forearm and was done by chris hamilton of bodyworks in billings, mt. ganesha is the hindu god of compassion and remover of obstacles. the red lotus is the lotus of love, compassion. the sanskrit calligraphy below ganesh is "sankalp" which means "ceremonious offer." in this case, referring to my own personal ceremonious offer of myself in service to others. this is phase 1 of my sleeve.
