If you are the kind of person who likes to experiment, then give the traditional tri-colour flag a modern twist. All you need is some vibrant, good-quality body ink and a skilled tattoo artist. Start with the Ashok chakra, which you can make as big as you like, making sure it's clear, bright and precise. Then use the saffron at the top, followed by the green at the bottom. Make some vertical lines with the same colours to make it more visually attractive.
