The Lotus Tattoo and
What It Represents
Getting a tattoo is a great way to express you individuality, your personality and meaning. Every tattoo has its own symbolism and meaning, thus making it a representation of you. Choosing a tattoo can be very trying; the most common choices are floral tattoos, symbols, and the lotus tattoo. The
lotus flower tattoo has unique and strong meanings.
The meaning of the lotus flower tattoo is usually related to how the flower grows. When one usually thinks of what’s at the bottom of a pond, you usually don’t come up with anything to pleasant. The pond is where the lotus flower starts.
The lotus flower starts growing at the bottom of still water, usually a pond. It’s a small bud attached to a vine. The vine then gradually begins to climb toward the surface of the water.
The bud stays face down and the vine will grow upwards. Once the bud reaches the surface it will turn upwards toward the sunlight. The vine will grow longer and once it is long enough to bring the bud out of the water, the bud will bloom into the
lotus
flower.
We can take a lot of our meaning and symbolism from this. A small bud forms at the bottom of a slimy pool and rises up until it finally can break free of the water and turns into a very beautiful flower.
Some of the other meanings we can take from this are, new beginnings, birth, beauty within the darkness, and the power to overcome. Whatever meaning you take from the
lotus flowers birth, you are sure to impress people with a gorgeous flower inked onto your skin.
Your lotus flower will represent something special to just you, not only that but the lotus flower is very beautiful to look at. It might be hard at first to find a tattoo artist that can capture the true beauty of the lotus flower; once you do you will have a beautiful work of art on your skin. Most lotus flower tattoos contain many different vibrant colors as they have in real life.
If you want a beautiful tattoo with lots of meaning, you will want to get a lotus flower tattoo. Not only will you be able to discuss the meaning with people admiring it, but you will also be comfortable showing it off just about anywhere.
