I think many other women feel the same about it. I must admit it is quite a beautiful flower, but what I appreciate most about it, is that it is a great subject for wonderful tattoo designs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The lily is native of the Balkan Peninsula in south-eastern Europe, from where it was imported in other European countries, where it became first one of the most admired flowers and then on of the most popular flower tattoos.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Traditionally Lily flowers are white - noble, elegant, white flowers, which have been often associated with ideas of purity and innocence.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Christians made of the lily a symbol of purity to represent the divine virginity. St. Joseph is often depicted with a stick from which sprout white lilies. A legend says that Mary chose Joseph because she saw him among many with a white lily in his hand.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Throughout the centuries the lily has been associated with several Saints and the Archangel Gabriel.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But a lily has not always symbolized purity and chastity: Lilies' typical phallic pistil and their erotic fragrance made quite the opposite impression on ancient Greeks, who linked these flowers with concepts like fertility and procreation.</p>
