The lotus flower is a flower that we especially associate with Buddhism, since this religion is used, in turn, to associate it with enlightenment. The blue hue (although naturally you will often see that it is lilac, since blue is a very difficult color to find among flowers) indicates common sense and wisdom, thus reinforcing the original message.
But, in addition, it has an original meaning that distinguishes it from other types of lotuses: the victory of the spirit. This connotation is due to the flower itself, which blooms with spectacular beauty in places like swamps and bogs.
In a tattoo the lotus flower can be represented with the petals half open to symbolize that the person wearing the piece is still in a learning process.

The blue lotus flower, in addition to Buddhism, it also has a very important meaning for the Egyptians, since, in fact, the flower is native to this country. The Egyptian variety, by the way, differs from other types of lotuses, as it has elongated white petals edged with blue.
In Egypt, lotuses of this color are related to the sun god and rebirth. This may be due to the fact that lotuses appear from the water, bloom from morning to night, opening their petals in the sun, and plunge back into the water at nightfall.
