Note:
Elliot can also be contacted to help with Sanskrit for Sanskrit tattoos. Sanskrit sometimes does not have a direct translation for an English term or certain concepts may have multiple translations. Tattoos stay with you for a long time. Elliot will work with you to make sure that the ‘intent’ of what you wish to tattoo onto your body has both the correct meaning, spelling and grammar in Sanskrit. He can also use Indian astrology to make sure the day of getting the tattoo has beneficial stars.
