We generally think of the lotus as a sign of rebirth, renewal and often linked with the essence of life or an awakening.

The lotus has a lot of meanings!! It depends what culture you come from, that's all. Tattoos of it, I'm guessing, probably have more of a sexual connotation, but the Lotus is also used heavily in white magic, angel magic, chakra healing, crystal healing, and as a cinese symbol for purity.
The seven pointed lotus is used to represent the gateway of the soul as it is the symbol (and relation of) a specific chakra point. It is also a sacred symbol.
If you want to know the entire of all the meanings, then you can email me and I'd be happy to discuss it ^_^ (there are simply too many meaning and too much detail for this column.) missytetra@yahoo.co.uk . Good luck!

1). White Lotus (Skt. pundarika; Tib. pad ma dkar po): This represents the state of spiritual perfection and total mental purity (bodhi). It is associated with the White Tara and proclaims her perfect nature, a quality which is reinforced by the color of her body. 2). Red Lotus (Skt. kamala; Tib: pad ma chu skyes): This signifies the original nature and purity of the heart (hrdya). It is the lotus of love, compassion, passion and all other qualities of the heart. It is the flower of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion. 3). Blue Lotus (Skt. utpala; Tib. ut pa la): This is a symbol of the victory of the spirit over the senses, and signifies the wisdom of knowledge. Not surprisingly, it is the preferred flower of Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom. 4). Pink Lotus (Skt. padma; Tib. pad ma dmar po): This the supreme lotus, generally reserved for the highest deity. Thus naturally it is associated with the Great Buddha himself."

I have a lotus tattoo in remembrance of overcoming a difficult time in my life and how the experience eventually made me a better person.

A lotus flower comes from the murky gross deepest deapths of the water, and rises to the surface to bloom into a beautiful flower. It represents triumph over adversity, and overcoming the darkness, and "blooming" into something beautiful.

there is a lot of correlation between the lotus flower and a woman's vagina. In literature, that is usually the context. This has also been taken to mean womanhood, femeninity, innocence...
