The lotus flower tattoo is an amazing unique flower, and has a great symbolic meaning to it. The lotus flower starts at the bottoms of creeks and ponds. As it grows, it comes out of the dirty, nasty water, growing toward the light. Having overcome its harsh beginnings, the lotus flower blossoms into a beautiful symbol of power, diversity, and hope. This lotus tattoo has a good mixture of light and dark hues of blue and white. The tips of the petals of the lotus are a dark blue, and fades into a lighter blue shade.
The ends of the lotus fade from a light blue into a white. The pedals of the lotus tattoo are proportioned real well and shaded evenly. The back of the pedals are dark blue and mixed with a lighter blue. The center of the lotus is the lightest part of the flower. The lotus flower is a form of symbolism to show achievement through struggle, the ability to strive through hard conditions, and power over adversity. This lotus tattoo is the perfect example of how tattoos are one of the best ways to express your experiences, feelings, and traits.
Tattoos more often then not have significant symbolic meanings. Sure, it’s true that some designs are meant to be humorous or novel, but the vast majority of them have some sort of meaning. And this is even more the case when it comes to lotus tattoos. The lotus tattoo usually relates to different meanings such as the process of how it grows.
Can you imagine how the lotus amazingly grows from down the pond? Anything that grows under the pond is something that you would not imagine as being beautiful since the pond’s environment is kind of muddy and gross, but the lotus actually blooms here. How the lotus flowers blossom into a beautiful flower despite of the fact that it grows from the slimy mud of the pond and that it was able to rise from the mud towards the sunlight and bloom into a pretty flower is something that symbolizes power, strength, and life. Other meanings attributed to the lotus tattoo include love and sometimes the longing for love, life and the beauty it denotes to people and it can also mean rejuvenation or good transformation. Maybe the lotus is a flower to add to your personal collection of body art. |
