Lotus Tattoo Designs...How To About Choosing The Right Lotus Tattoo Design

     As mentioned lotus tattoo designs are very popular and will remain popular for years to come because the lotus flower is striking in nature, there are also a variety of colors you can have when having lotus tattoo designs tattooed on you.

What makes the lotus tattoo designs so unique

                                   What makes this plant seem so unique besides its beauty, is the way in which it is grown, lotus flowers are usually grown on or in stagnant parts of rivers, ponds and lakes, as long as they are shallow enough for the plant to get its roots into the soil beneath the river bed. What really makes this plant unique is that its seeds can remain fertile for more than a 1,000  years, it can regulate the temperature of its flowers and posses numerous healing properties found in their roots.

 What is truly remarkable when you come to think about it, is the way the plant grows, it grows just as a normal flower grows above water but that the lotus grows from the deep depths of the murky water beneath ponds and rivers, this is why it is symbolic in both Yoga and Christianity, in the way that after dark light will prevail.

  It begins its steady climb towards the surface as a bud attached to the main plant, then as it begins to grow beneath the water it moves steadily to the surface, inch by inch the bud is always in a downward facing position. Contrast this to the normal plant, the normal flower usually rises in the direction of the sun throughout its life until it blossoms, but not the lotus it remains closed and in a southward facing position.

  Only once the actual stem of the plant is above the water and the bud now attached to it, does it open up into a majestic flower, during the summer months bees and insects flock to these plants for there sweet nectar, there is no other smell in this world better than the sweet smell of a budding lotus.

                                                                  What's remarkable is the fact that it is found in places that no other plant could survive, in the deep still murky water something so majestic could come out of something so vile as a stagnant pond.
