Is the Unalome a Buddhist symbol?
Upvote:0
Look for the word "urna", not unalome. The unalome comes from Thai religious and superstitious tattoos. It's a stylized Thai equivalent of the urna (the tuft/curl of hair between the Buddha's eyebrows), and originated in Sak Yant, Thai religious and superstitious tattooing. If you're a Thai Buddhist, then it could have meaning to you. Otherwise, probably not.
