Did your Tattoo hurt?

Jhene Aiko: It hurt BAD, but it was worth it because of its MEANING…..look up LOTUS BLOSSOM, and you’ll see why :)

and so we looked it up…

The lotus flower has this unique characteristic that it blooms and sheds its seeds at the same time so in
context to buddhism the karma theory says that just like the lotus flower our life is made up of cause and effect every cause be it action word thought will imprint a effect and that can be seen in this life time or next lives

In Buddhist paintings and sculpture, the Buddha is often seated on a lotus flower. The lotus produces a beautiful flower even with its roots in the dirtiest water. The symbolism is that a person can rise above being rooted in the ugliness and suffering of this world, and should try to be pure and help others with beauty of the spirit.

The Lotus signifies that even the dirtiest water will not cling to the Lotus (pure in spirit). Try sprinkling water on a Lotus leaf and it will just roll off.

The Lotus flower is believed to be able to reproduce form its own matrix. In this regard, it is the symbol of ‘self-regeneration’ which in Sanskrit is, svayambhû. Svayambhû can also mean ‘self-existent’ and ‘independent’. One often sees the Lotus as the throne upon which the Buddha sits. Here, the Buddha is the symbol of the awakened Mind which is self-existent, independent, and self-regenerating.
