Not only is the lotus flower an integral part of Indian and Chinese cultures and tattoo designs, it is also a part of Japanese tattoo designs. In a number of cultures, the petals of the lotus flower signify the struggle of a man’s existence. The center of the flower signifies the balance and enlightenment that every human tries to achieve.
It gradually grows towards the surface of the water and strives continuously to move towards the light. As soon as it has come to the surface of the water, the flower begins to bloom and transforms into a beautiful flower.
