Tattoos have been around since before recorded history. There is evidence that the ancient Egyptians practiced tattooing, and primitive tribes today use tattooing for various tribal rituals as well.
Tattoos are created by making deep holes in the skin and filling them with pigment of some kind. Today’s tattoo artists use a tattoo gun with a fast moving needle that applies the ink as they move over a design drawn on the body.
Tattoos are fairly permanent once they are applied, so be sure you want one before you walk into the tattoo parlor. If you really want one, think carefully about the design you’re getting.
If you are determined to get a tattoo, choose the parlor carefully. It should be licensed by the state and keep hygienic standards.
Keep the design simple, up to three colors is still fairly easy for a doctor to remove if you find yourself disliking the tattoo in the future.
Think carefully about where you want the tattoo, try to choose someplace that will heal quickly, and is easy to conceal when you need to, like in the workplace. If you suspect an infection, see your doctor as soon as possible before it gets worse.
So, you have your tattoo, and down the road you decide to get it removed. Your doctor will probably refer you to a dermasurgeon for the procedure.
The doctor’s choice of removal procedure will depend a lot on the size of the tattoo, the location of the tattoo, and how long you’ve had it. How your body heals may also factor into his or her decision.
Most tattoo removals will leave at least minor scarring, and maybe color variations in the skin. The success of the removal will depend on the size of the tattoo, the location, the evenness of the pigment and the age of the tattoo.
Excision is used on small tattoos, or in several stages for larger ones. The site is anesthetized, and then the tattoo is excised, or cut away.
The edges of the incision is then brought together and stitched. If this method is used for a large tattoo removal, a skin graft may be needed.
Dermabrasion is a procedure where a solution is sprayed on the tattoo which freezes the area. It is then “sanded” off with a rotary abrasive tool that makes the skin peel.
A dressing is applied afterwards, since some bleeding will happen.
Laser is considered the best method of tattoo removal by many physicians. A cream is rubbed on to numb the skin, and then pulses of laser light is applied, breaking up the pigment.
The healing process will remove the broken up pigment. Laser treatment usually takes more than one visit.
Salabrasion is a centuries-old technique to remove tattoos. A local anesthetic is used to numb the area. Then a solution of water and table salt is applied.
An abrading tool, like the one used in dermabrasion is applied, or sometimes a simple little block of wood covered in gauze is used to abrade the area. When the area turns red, a dressing is applied.

Every tattoo means something to the person who has it. Tattoos are a way of expressing individuality and creativity and the tattoos we get reflect who we are as a person, how we see ourselves and how we would like ourselves to be viewed. Regardless of the design, tattoos are personal to everyone. However, some images are so symbolic that the meaning can be shared amongst everyone who sees it. One such tattoo is the lotus tattoo.
Flower tattoos are very popular designs. It doesn’t take much to see why, they are after all very beautiful to look at and unless you have severe hay fever the image of a flower brings positive images. One of the most popular of these tattoo designs are lotus flower tattoos. This can be attributed to the strong meaning which lotus flowers are associated with. If you weren’t already aware the lotus flower has deep meaning and symbolism which I discuss below.
About The Lotus Flower
Knowing how the lotus flower grows is essential to understanding its meaning. When you conjure up images of still water, like a pond, you often think of a thick green layer of algae or even sewage. I am sure I am right in think the lotus flower does not spring to mind first. But it should. Amongst this pond scum grows the beautiful lotus flower. It begins its days as a small bud, at the very bottom of still water. Gradually, a vine from this tiny bud makes its way through the darkness to the surface of the water. Throughout this process the bud remains facing downwards, it turns around to face the sunlight as soon as it gets close enough to the surface. Once it breaks through the surface of the water it blossoms into a beautiful flower. I’m sure you don’t need me to point out the powerful symbolism in that story of growth. A reminder that the most beautiful of things can come from the most unexpected of places.
Lotus Flower Tattoo Meanings
Not only can lotus flower tattoos be a very beautiful piece of body art but due to the circumstances surrounding the growth of the lotus flower it is also very symbolic. Some of the most popular meanings of lotus flower tattoos are as follows:
- It can symbolise birth or rebirth.
- It can represent a separated or unrequited love and the nostalgia attached to this feeling.
- A powerful reminder that beauty and joy can come from the most unexpected places at the most unexpected times.
