I have three rather large Lotus Flowers tattooed on my lower back. Lotuses are a type of water lily. In Buddhism the lotus is a symbol of enlightenment. All of the petals represent the different struggles and lives we live on our path to spiritual awakening and the center of the flower represents the state of enlightenment. In South East Asia there is a prayer or mantra spoken all the time and frequently written on pieces of jewelry and prayer flags. In Hindi the saying is 'om mani padme hum' and roughly translated means hail to the jewel of the lotus. While I do embrace some Buddhist ideals, I am not sure I believe in enlightenment per se or at least the Buddhist version it. I got the tattoo because I think we are all struggling for something greater - no matter what our spiritual beliefs are. I think we all have some kind of enlightenment we are trying to reach.
