A great tattoo design usually has more meaning to the wearer than just being a piece of fine body art. It is rare that we look purely to aesthetics when having a tattoo; instead we're also looking for some form of spiritual connection or visual representation of something that is important to us. This is one of the reasons that the powerful Lotus flower tattoo has become so popular.
The Lotus flower is a Buddhist symbol for good fortune, to begin life the Lotus flower must fight its way from the murky depths of swamps and ponds, before expanding its petals as one of the most exquisite flowers on Earth. The journey from the lower extremes of a swamp to becoming a beautiful flower is something that many people can align to their own lives to. As a result, the Lotus flower tattoo has strong spiritual connections to hope, desire and dreams.Most lotus flower tattoos are applied to the lower back. They are often represented with a full flower, buds and the seed pods; this reminds the wearer of their past, present and future. They can also be combined with other tattoos for different meanings; a good understanding of Japanese culture would be required to make the full use of these types of representation.
