my new tattoo

i got a new tattoo last night. its of a blue Lotus flower. Lotus flowers have a meaning for life.

i got this statement off a website, so i didnt have to write it all, but this is also why i got my Lotus and what it means to me

If you don't look at the mythology and the symbolism of the Lotus flower and actually look at WHERE the Lotus flower comes from that can be a huge part of why some have it. I have my Lotus flower, because it actually represents my life. The beginning of the life of the Lotus flower is down deep in the MUCK and the MUD of water and it actually grows up and OUT of the muck, mud and water and becomes a BEAUTIFUL creation of life. That's why I have mine, life for me did not start out so great but I fought my way through the crap of it all and succeeded.

it represents my illness and how im going to find my out of the muck of it and into something more beautiful......well enough said heres pics......

i flipped this photo upside down so you could see it, its on my inner wrist facing out...

this one is taking the correct way....

Love it! The blue is beautiful! I've been thinking about getting something on the top of my foot. I keep chickening out though. I got 2 tats when I was 16...way too young to know what I was getting myself into. Even though I don't even notice them anymore, I still wish that I didn't get one of them.

Super cool colors!

I kind of want a wedding ring one....I hate jewelry so I never wear a ring. I'm too chicken though. LOL

Very pretty and I love how it has meaning. I keep saying I want another tattoo but I have too much on my 'I want' list, so the new Tattoo keeps getting pushed further and further down the list.
