Lily Tattoos
There are a huge variety of different meanings that can be associated with lily tattoos. The white petals of this beautiful flower can symbolize purity or innocence. Lily tattoos that have a blush of pink symbolize sensuality and orange petals signify passion. In some Eastern cultures the shape of the lily has come to represent carnal love, in others it represents faith in one’s religion. Not only do lily tattoos have a number of symbolic meanings, but there are also a number of different ways to have them inked. A person can get a single lily or a group of lilies.
They can be done in just about any color of the rainbow, depending on what the person wants it to signify. It can even be combined with other design elements such as butterflies, bees and hummingbirds to alter the meaning of the design and make it more unique. Lily tattoos can also be inked to show one’s devotion to their faith. I have seen many great religious designs featuring lilies and they all have a unique and special appeal. I have seen the Virgin Mary holding a bouquet of lilies, I have seen lilies sprouting up around a crucifix and I have seen lilies bathed in God’s glory and light. |
