The Meaning of the Japanese Lotus Flower Tattoo
The lotus flower is not only a very popular tattoo design in the Japanese culture, India, and throughout the Asian world, the lotus flower has also become a central part in tattoo design all over the world. Tattoo artists and tattoo enthusiasts appreciate this graceful flower for it's beauty and meaning.
The lotus flower resembles a strong spiritual meaning to several religions throughout Japan and Asia, and symbolizes life in general and the struggle to make it in life. The lotus flower starts out at the bottom of a swamp, in the muddy dark water and slowly rises up to the surface of the pond and unfolds it's full beauty, similar to the caterpillar that turns into a beautiful butterfly.
The Japanese lotus flower resembles this struggle of life to reach the surface to shine in it's utmost beauty. Although the meaning of the Japanese lotus flower might differ slightly between religions, the basic meaning is always the same. Rise and shine like the lotus flower!
