Peace in Sanskrit

Peace in Sanskrit is ‘shanti’. It is a common enough word that most people know of its meaning. Even then the Devnagari script manages to make the tattoo look exquisite rather than plain.

The word Om alone holds a lot of power too. you need not add other words of a hymn’s line to it or any other sort of embellishment. Just the word which is naught but a letter of the Devnagari script makes for an excellent tattoo.
