    So I got my first tattoo a few months back and I'm delighted with it. I brought the design to the artist and they said it was an Aztec mandala. In my opinion it looks more Asian like, Buddhist lotus almost. The tattoo on the inner arm is mine. I'm looking for the style of tattoo it is aswel as the other tattoo pictured below. I want to spread my tattoo up my shoulder and start a sleeve. If you have any idea what the art style is I'd thoroughly appreciate it. Thanks ðŸ‘ðŸ»

    The main problem is I want a style similar to the one on the woman's leg so I can travel it around.

    Nope, not even slightly like paisley! They're both Mandala 'style' tattoos, the second has an almost fractal quality to the bits coming off it.

    Also comes up under Mandala tattoo.
    I think it certainly shares elements with Paisley, but the main flower bit of the second one looks more mandala to me.
