Brandon Boyd is known for his mostly self designed tattoos. On his forearms he carries the widely known Buddhist mantra Om Mani Padme Hum, roughly translated as "hail the jewel of the lotus", and under that is a koi fish in red ink designed by friend and fellow bandmate, José Pasillas. On the inside of his right arm he has several tattoos, one once again incorporating the Tibetan mantra and another designed after a crop circle. Following the release of their album A Crow Left of the Murder, he got an elaborate back tattoo featuring the common image of the All Seeing-Eye embedded in a pyramid.[4] He also has a tattoo of the Eye of Horus on his right ankle. Other tattoos include his parents' names on his forearms, an owl on his back, one tear drop on his finger on both hands, and a picture inspired on Aubrey Beardsley famous art, "The Peacock Skirt" on his left arm.
