An ENSO tattoo, first and foremost, typically identifies the wearer as a practitioner of Zen Buddhism. It can also indicate that you admire, respect or aspire to certain aspects of the philosophy. The way you draw your ENSO is, as you can imagine, hugely personal. Open or closed, near-perfect or irregular – these are all customizations you can use to indicate your current state or future goals. Color, background and embellishments are also ways to personalize your ENSO tattoo to better reflect your journey.
