The lotus, along with the rose, has to be the most popular type of
flower tattoo you can get. The lotus flower designs all contain lots of
symbolism - they are usually associated with religious themes and
creation. They are a symbol of beauty on earth, as well as purity.

You
can also have larger designs which feature several lotus flowers, often
being combined with tribal stems. This can make a good design for along
the side of your body, along your wrist, or the forearm. It's a very
popular design for women, and there are very few lotus flower designs
with a masculine feel to them.

Many
of these designs can also have a Japanese style to them. In fact, there
is a whole sub-category of Japanese lotus designs. These tattoos are
often used along side Koi Fish, or perhaps include Japanese Kanji
inscriptions. They also make a great focal point for a half or full
sleeve tattoo. When used in this way, they are often used on the
shoulder area, or the bicep - where there's plenty of room to create a
detailed lotus flower.
