I am not a fan of Tattos and never got one on my body. Just to answer the prompt, I thought of one symbol, which I could etch on my body part and the instant answer was Peacock Feather or morpankh as it is called in our language.

The reason is simple, I am amazed with the nature’s creation of such colourful feather which makes the animal more beautiful and spectacular. There are some spiritual reasons too.

Peacock feathers symbolize the protection, good luck, wisdom and renewal. The distinctive “eye” pattern on the feather represents vigilance and the warding off of negative energy, though meanings vary widely from sacred reverence in the East to cautionary superstitions in parts of Europe.

In Hinduism, Known as morpankh, the feather is sacred and famously worn by Lord Krishna on His crown, symbolizing divine grace, playfulness, and a love for nature. It is also linked to Goddess Lakshmi to invite prosperity.
