The Lotus Flower Tattoo and Its Meaning

The lotus flower is an amazingly exquisite flower and has an incredible tale behind it. Lotus flowers came from the dirty and muddy parts of tranquil water. Then a small bud with a vine sprouted. After a while, the vine began to grow and crawled to the surface of the water. At the outset, the bud is facing down but as it climbs, it starts to face the sun. After it reaches the top of the water line it bloomed into an extraordinary flower. For the Hindus and Buddhist the journey that the lotus flower has taken represents the journey that a person’s soul must take in order to reach enlightenment. So, for modern tattoos, the lotus flower is an image of unusual beauty, strength, change, and power. The journey symbolizes accomplishment.
