When I was in Thailand I really wanted to get a tattoo, which unfortunately didn't work out because we ran out of time, but I was going to get a lotus flower so I did abit of research into it and found out the meaning.
"The lotus flower represents one symbol of fortune in
Buddhism. It grows in muddy water, and it is this environment that gives forth
the flower’s first and most literal meaning: rising and blooming above the murk
to achieve enlightenment. The second meaning, which is related to the first is
purification. It resembles the purifying of the spirit which is born into
murkiness. The third meaning refers to faithfulness. Those who are working to
rise above the muddy waters will need to be faithful followers."
