It has held many meanings for its bearers and has deep roots in many cultures as to the meaning as well. Perhaps you are set on a flower design, how do you know it is the right flower for you?
The lotus flower is a beautiful choice for a tattoo. You can easily add to it vines, water, coy fish or any number of other elements and still have it look wonderful. It is a flower of bold brilliant colour and even if you change the actual colour the colouration is still wonderfully predominant.
Of course, everyones meaning and reasoning for getting a lotus flower will vary from person to person by there are some historical meanings to take into consideration when choosing this flower, as it is more global known by its historical meaning then by your personal meaning.
Many religions view this flower as displaying the journey of one to enlightenment. Due to the way the actual flower grows and emerges into the world, from the muck of still water, to emerge and reach itself to the sun, one can easily see the symbolic connections.

No matter the final lotus flower tattoo you choose, it will be one of beauty and strength. The tattoo is a common choice of flower fanatics and those who want to tell their story of a past journey upon their bodies. Irregardless of the story behind your tattoo, the lotus flower can be the perfect flower tattoo. Sylvia Rolfe
