So, all you have to do is find a picture of a flower that you like, and a picture of a butterfly that you like, and bring in the words you want and the type of script to do them in. The artist will take these and turn them into a custom design for you.
luck

lotus flower or butterfly tattoo?
ive been through alot of crap but im starting a new phase, like a fresh start and i want to get a tattoo to symbolize this, a small one on my neck the can easily be covered so what new u think, a lotus flower or a butterfly?
Answer
I'd go with the lotus.
Lotus tattoos and rose tattoos are without doubt the most popular floral tattoo designs among women. The lotus and rose are very similar. The lotus flower is held in great esteem in the East as the rose is admired in the West. Symbolically they can represent the same thing. As the lotus rises from the murky depths so does the rose grow amongst uninviting thorns.
The lotus flower actually originated in Egypt, and has had a major role in the local myths and legends. The ancient Egyptians revered the Nile water-lilies, or lotuses as they were also called. The Egyptian lotus is known for opening its flowers in the morning and then sinking beneath the water at dusk and like roses were used extensively at burials.
Lotus flowers are symbolic of rebirth in Eastern beliefs, but aside from the religious meaning, the lotus also symbolizes truth and enlightenment particularly to those of the Buddhist faith.
The modern interpretation of the lotus flower seems to be one of estranged love or new beginnings. Many people get lotus flower tattoos after the break-up of a relationship. This may mean that they have risen above the depths or alternatively may return back to it as the lotus returns to the pond.
But, just so you know, just as many women get lotus flowers as they get butterflies. I myself have a lotus flower, with my own meaning for getting it....but guess what else I have. LOL, a butterly as well.
