Simply Amazing Lotus Flower Tattoo Designs

The glorious, fierce beauty of the stunning lotus flower tattoo! An incredibly popular choice of tattoo. See why!

Flowers are a popular choice for a tattoo. Every flower reflects its own beauty and has its own meaning and significance in our world. Lotus flowers are beautiful, and they have their own spiritual meaning(s) and symbolism.

The Lotus slowly surfaces from a pond or muddy water for three days. Then, it blooms in the morning until afternoon. Since the flower retreats back into the water when the dark comes, and then rises again in the morning, some cultures consider the Lotus a symbol of death and rebirth.

Here are the most beautiful lotus flower tattoo designs we have found for you.

20. Elegant Lotus Flower Tattoo

Having such a beautiful tattoo design on your body will make you look elegant and pure at all times. In Hinduism, the lotus flower represents a person who is wise and spiritually enlightened. This flower is also associated with eternity, fertility, beauty and prosperity.

19. Colorful Lotus Flower Tattoo

Lotus flower has a special place in Buddhism, too. In Buddhism, different colors of lotus flowers are associated with different aspects of Buddhism. For example, a pink lotus flower, like the one on the image above, is considered a real lotus. However, a blue lotus represents the victory of spirit over wisdom.

18. Small Lotus Tattoo

This tiny, white lotus flower looks adorable. Usually, the white color is connected to purity and innocence. A white lotus flower definitely represents the state of mental purity and piousness of the soul.

17. Heel Lotus Flower Tattoo

This is another small, yet adorable, lotus flower tattoo. This tattoo is pretty similar to the one above, because of the placement. However, when it comes to the tattoo design, they are very different. In this picture, you can see only the flower of the lotus. In the image before this one, a lotus flower comes with its stalk.

16. Back Lotus Flower Tattoo

This lotus flower tattoo is different than the previous ones. Do you notice the difference? Well, the previous flowers were pretty much empty, while this one is ‘filled in.’ Lotus flower tattoos are beautiful and they symbolize divine beauty. Lotus with unfolded leaves represent the expanding of one’s soul.

15. Arm Lotus Flower Tattoo

A lotus flower tattoo, similar to the one above, but just placed on the arm. Lotus flowers will look great on every part of your body, regardless of the tattoo’s size or design. A lotus flower tattoo will make you come across as a spiritual, pure, and beautiful person.

14. Attractive Lotus Flower Tattoo

It seems that most of the lotus flower tattoos placements are on the neck, or on the back, probably because this way the tattoo can be bigger. Did you know that ancient Egyptians considered lotus as a symbol of the beginning of life? Their mythology narrates that this flower marks the beginning of life on earth. It is believed that this flower was the first living thing on earth, which bloomed from the sea.

13. Watercolor Lotus Flower Tattoo

In nature, a lotus can be only in one color – white, blue, pink, purple or red. Each color is believed to represent something. Red stands for love, white for purity, blue for spirituality, pink for the divine. But, why should you limit your tattoo and imagination to one color only? By getting a beautiful watercolor lotus flower tattoo like this, your flower will represent all of these things at once.

12. Lotus Flower Outline

A great lotus flower tattoo design is just the outline of the flower. This outline can be placed on various parts of your body, but it will look particularly exquisite when placed on your wrist. Take the tattoo in the image above as an example.

11. Tiny Lotus Flower Wrist Tattoo

If the lotus flower outline tattoo above seemed a bit too big for you, but you still like the placement. and you are looking for a more delicate lotus flower tattoo design, then look no more. Similar placement, similar design, but a lot smaller, this tiny lotus flower is the perfect tattoo.

10. Foot Lotus Flower Tattoo

You remember that part when I said lotus flowers look good anywhere on your body, right? Well, when I’ve said it, I meant it. We had lotus tattoo on arms, neck, back, and now feet. And, they all looked good. If you would like a lotus tattoo on your leg, but not this part of the leg, then consider getting one on your thigh.

9. Neck Lotus Flower Tattoo

I really like lotus tattoos placed on neck/back. Somehow, they look more beautiful, pure and divine on these body parts. Lotus is a symbol of pure feminine beauty. It is also connected to love. A lotus reflects martial harmony when it comes to relationships. If you feel happy and blessed with your current relationship, you may consider getting a tattoo of a lotus flower which will symbolize your never-ending love.

8. Purple Lotus Flower Tattoo

Purple is a beautiful color. And, these beautiful purple lotuses go great with the purple butterfly. A lotus can symbolize awakening, rebirth, enlightenment and purification. These symbols are supplemented by the butterfly which represents freedom and transformation.

7. Behind-Ear Lotus Flower

Behind-ear tattoos are rare and charming. The reason for their rarity is probably because not every tattoo design can be placed there. Can you imagine placing a lion behind your ear? Well, I know I can’t (but a tiny lion would look so cool). Lions are meant to be big, strong and great. If tattooed small, would anyone get your lion seriously? However, lotus flower will always stay the same, and send the same message, regardless of its size.

6. Simple Lotus Flower Tattoo

Lotus itself is a very simple flower, and in addition, the color white exudes with purity. A white lotus will, therefore, represent sacred perfection and intellectual purity. White lotus flowers are also depicted as goals one should strive for, as well as the person’s spiritual journey, or end of one.

 

 

5. Baby Lotus Flower Tattoo

We had tiny lotus tattoos. But, since I already used that word I had to come up with another one to name this even smaller tattoo. I decided to call it baby lotus flower, since it is so small, cute, and adorable like a baby! If you are a sucker for cute things (like me), then go and get this tattoo without even thinking about it.

4. Finger Lotus Flower Tattoo

Lotus tattoos look good on fingers. This one is pretty, but do you want to know what would look even better? Getting a lotus flower lower, where the rings are. By doing so, you will have the prettiest (and permanent) ring ever. Maybe you and your significant other can use a lotus flower tattoo as a wedding band. Remember when I mentioned a lotus represents martial harmony?

3. Collarbone Lotus Flower Tattoo

Zhou Dunyi, the Confucian scholar, famously said: “I love the lotus because while growing from mud, it is unstained.”

A lotus can represent your life. We all go through the mud during certain times in our life. But, the beauty of our lives reflects in our ability to rise, stand tall and be strong, proud, and beautiful, like a lotus is.

2. Gorgeous Colorful Lotus

Lotuses are very respected in Buddhism. A pink lotus represents the real lotus, but also Buddha himself. A pink lotus represents the entire history of Buddhism, Buddha and Buddhist tales.

1. Upper Arm Lotus Flower Tattoo

But, besides Buddhism, this beautiful flower appears in many other religions and cultures. Its life cycle is a metaphor, and also an allegory by which we, humans, should elevate ourselves. The lotus is born at the muddy bottom. However, it pushes through the mud and rises above the surface. These religions and cultures suggest that we should elevate ourselves above our muddy thoughts and actions. And, what a better reminder for this other than a beautiful lotus tattoo, like the one in the image above.
