Mandala tattoo designs, worn for balance and calm, and suited to round or symmetrical places: the shoulder, the sternum, the elbow, the spine. The nine sheets show a full round mandala, a half mandala like a fan with hanging beads, and a narrow chain of mandalas down the page. Each is drawn as dotwork, fine line and blackwork. Type a different flower or twist, such as a lotus, and the same styles can be asked for.

  • a round piece for the back of the shoulder
  • a half mandala for the sternum or elbow
  • a vertical design for the spine
  • a printed sheet to compare the three layouts

Frequently asked questions

What is on the page?
Nine mandala designs: a full round mandala, a half mandala and a spine mandala, each in three styles.
Is this a design on skin?
No. Each design is a drawing on white paper, for taking to a studio or printing.
Can I ask for a lotus or a different placement?
Yes. Type a different motif or placement, such as a lotus; the result is a new drawing, not a guaranteed match.
What is the difference between the styles?
Dotwork builds the shadows from dots. Fine line is one thin outline with little shading. Blackwork uses large solid black areas with white lines cut through.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
