It is a tattoo of the Lotus Flowers, Bamboo, and Buddha on the chest piece.
As a Buddhist (Nichiren Buddhist - Japanese) it reminds me of the changes I have made within my life, from the service, to wheelchair, to the streets, to regaining life. I shaved my head (Monistiac reasons), and got this tattoo so I would never forget where I was and who I have become.
IF/when I get mad I will see the Lotus and remember I am not who I use to be.
But that is why I got it. The Japanese had a way of peaceful style in their tattoo, the flow and way about it intertwined with the lifestyle I have adapted.
