Hey, it seems like a lot of people are getting sanskrit tattooed on them in some form or another, and I am one of those people! Its a beautiful language. What I want I haven't been able to find anywhere and am not even sure if it is possible/correct... I would like the phrase "om namah shivaya" BUT.... written vertically, down my spine. I already have the om symbol (underneath the triratna) and just wanted some help breaking up the rest of the phrase so it makes sense...
I have broken it up in this way:
ॐ
न
म
:
शि
वा
य
:
and then it will conclude with a lotus blossom at the base of my spine... Is this correct? Is there a reason it should not be written vertically?
Do you want to write in Hindi/Sanskrit?
