Historical Origins and Evolution of Nepali Tattoos
The history of tattooing in Nepal is intertwined with the country's spiritual and cultural practices. Tattoos have been used for centuries as a form of protection, spiritual expression, and personal identity. In many indigenous communities, tattoos were believed to ward off evil spirits or bring good fortune. The influence of Hinduism and Buddhism is evident in the prevalence of religious symbols in traditional Nepali tattoos. Over time, as tattooing has gained popularity globally, Nepali tattoo art has evolved, blending traditional elements with modern techniques and styles, while still maintaining its cultural roots.
