Asian flowers? Cherry blossom? Lotus? What do they mean or symbolize?

The cherry blossom theme is a must on most of Japanese tattoo art.
By its nature the cherry blossom is an extremely delicate flower. The
blossoming season of the flower is towards the end of winter and goes up
to early spring. It only stays on the tree a short while after it has
blossomed and then it makes its way to the ground. This short lived life
cycle of the cherry blossom captured the essence of life for the
Japanese. The fact that it was a beautiful yet short lived moment full
of suffering is what relates the cherry blossom to life in general.
Lotus flower tattoos are also popular for people who have gone through a
hard time and are now coming out of it. Like the flower they have been
at the bottom in the muddy, yucky dirty bottom of the pond but have
risen above this to display an object of beauty or al ife of beauty as
the case might be. Thus a lotus flower tattoo or blossom can also
represent a hard time in life that has been overcome.
