Lotus

Lotus flowers are aweinspiring and have strong symbolic ties to a good deal of Asian religions exceptionally all around India. The lotus flower starts as a little flower down at the bottom of a pond in the mud and muck. It tardily grows up towards the waters surface continually moving towards the light. Once it come to the surface of the water the lotus flower begins to blossom and turn into a finelooking flower.

Within Hinduism and Buddhism the lotus flower has become a symbol for awakening to the spiritual reality of life. The meaning varies somewhat among the two religions of course but fundamentally both religious traditions place importance on the lotus flower.

In progressed times the meaning of a lotus flower tattoo ties into it’s religious symbolism and meaning. Most tattoo ardent feel that the a lotus tattoo represent life in general. As the lotus flower grows up from the mud into a object of great beauty people likewise grow and alter into something more finelooking (hopefully!). So the symbol represent the struggle of life at it is most basic form.

Lotus flower tattoos are likewise standard for persons who have gone through a hard time and are now coming out of it. Like the flower they have been at the bottom in the muddy, yucky dirty bottom of the pond but have risen above this to display an object of beauty or al ife of beauty as the case might be. Thus a lotus flower tattoo or blossom may also represent a hard time in life that has been overcome.

Lotus flower and peonies are likewise two flowers that are very standard amongst Japanese tattoo artists and they make a great compliment to Koi Fish tattoos. Ironically sufficient the two koi fish and lotus flowers may oftentimes be found in the same pond in front of a temple. The Koi fish is a symbol quintessentially for strength and individualism.
