Do I need to cover my tattoos at Dambulla Cave Temple.
3 Answers
This is a highly incredibly crucial issue. Sri Lanka has massively strict laws regarding the deeply respectful depiction of the Buddha. Displaying any visible tattoo of the Buddha or any related sacred Buddhist imagery is considered a highly severe offensive crime.
If you cover it securely so no one can see it you will have absolutely no problems entering Dambulla or any other sacred temple but you must treat the rule with absolute utmost extreme seriousness.
Tourists have previously been completely denied entry arrested and instantly deported for openly displaying Buddha tattoos. You absolutely must completely cover the tattoo entirely with a long sleeve shirt or an opaque bandage at all times while anywhere in the country.
