Our Lotus Tattoos

Hey everyone, today's post is all about mine and Leah's most recent tattoos. 

We both wanted Lotus flowers because not only are they pretty to look at and feminine but they also have a very special meaning. Lotus flowers are symbolic of purity of the mind and body. While the roots are buried under the mud, it's flowers blossom on long stalks, floating above muddy waters.

This is my gorgeous lotus tattoo that is placed on the top of my spine. The design is mandala inspired with the dots and thin delicate feminine lines. The actual tattoo didn't take long at all to complete, probably just over half an hour and it didn't hurt much at all! I actually thought that the top of the spine would be so painful but it's been my least painful tattoo to date! I couldn't be happier with this tattoo as it's so  me and looks feminine. Also, having a tattoo at the top of my spine is inspiring me to buy more low back tops to show off my tattoo! - Leah

I couldn't be more excited to get this tattoo as I've always wanted a tattoo on my wrist that went to forearm. The minute I saw the design I couldn't be happier as it's a geometric lotus design that is also mandala inspired with the dots and lines. As this is quite a big tattoo I thought it would take a long time but it didn't at all, probably 40 or so minutes. Not gonna lie, it was painful! It was so worth the pain though because now I am left with a beautiful tattoo that I am in love with! What I love about mine and Leah's tattoo is that they both look like sisters as they're both similar but different. - Rachel

We couldn't be happier with our tattoos as they're exactly what we wanted! The tattoo shop we went to is called Northern Soul in Liverpool and we will definitely be going there again for our future tattoos!

Do you guys have any tattoos?
