This is my lotus tattoo on my lower back. Andrew Regan designed and tattooed this piece for me in Stingray Body Art in Boston.
The lotus flower starts as a small flower down at the bottom of a pond in the mud. It slowly grows towards the waters surface, continually moving towards the light. Once it reaches the surface of the water, the lotus flower begins to blossom and tranforms into a beautiful flower. Although the flower grows on muddy rivers, the Lotus is capable of cleansing itself and remains pure.
